Like a game of Russian roulette. Another instance of the wheel not coming up NEP.

I pegged the Saints to be the team that had the best chance at stopping the Hawks from returning to the SB........ I'm looking pretty foolish right about now.

This injury really sucks for them, especially given how much they invested in Byrd to put them over the top.

and jenkins (? ) is making tons of plays for the eagles...

It is really hard winning another Super Bowl.

That defense wasn't playing up to snuff before he went out. Still a big loss, though. Talk about a squad of underacheivers...
