Saints vs Patriots
Both offenses considered to the the best in the NFL for the last 5 years. Veteran QB's that win games and don't panic. OL's that can be consistently the top #5. Both offenses have remained intact or become better. Sproles is better than bush, by the #'s and durability. Chad is a perfect fit, and will become a favorite with NE fans I think.
Both defenses have struggled with an identity, but now have had monster signings. Though NE has been noticed, Saints have been largely under the radar with signing of defensive line Turk McBride , Cam Jordon, aubrayo franklin, shawn Rogers, and including sedrock ellis, makes for a monster defensive front line, plus greg williams to get them up to speed. The saints secondary was always solid, and our LB might actually play the whole season. NE has maintained a very above average secondary even with injuries in 2009.
Saint got the injury bug last year but still managed to make the playoffs. But the offense still did well with no RB's or TE's. you should win with 38 pts, and that was a fluke game, we beat them 34-19 earlier in the season. greer having a dislocated shoulder for 11 games and losing our LB's, finally took its tole.
Doesn't matter we knew we were to beat up, and couldn't compete at that point.
Im not worried about the eagles they remind me of the redskins of the last few years, OFF season champions, sign big names and don't fix the problem, there OL is not good, run game is not good, and they don't have as many weapons as NE or NO. Eagles are trying to buy a championship, won't happen. We know vick, he gets worse when the games are big. Not that he ever survives a season.
no, my bet is on Patriots vs Saints, may the best team win, but because we respect your fans so much for their conduct and good sportsmanship , the Super Bowl will be a blast, good food, and good family fun so I can bring my son to the game and finally meet some friends here. Win or lose it will be what football is all about, love of the game, friendship, fun jeering , and sportsmanship when it comes time to lose gracefully. All theses things I see in NE fans.
If this happens, I want to start a list of people willing to buy saints jerseys with patriot players names, and we will wear patriots jerseys with saints player names, think that would be a kick, and shock the media, to know we respect each other. I would wear patriots jersey #22 porter. think it would make history, and show everyone that this is a game we love, and maybe change the hate and bad sportsmanship we have both experienced.
watch the 1st game of our season, we will beat GB, we scored 54 pts on the exact defense in 2008. Granted they were young, but then we are not a single pony offense like Atlanta. Like i said when i 1st came here Payton offense is a you can't cover everyone offense. That hasn't changed. try covering thomas, sproles, colson, moore, meachum on a snap , someones going to mess up, and breed will see it.
