i know it was. a very lucky win.

and don't get me wrong - i firmly believe the long-suffering aints fans deserve much better than this from their team. this is the kind of what the heck just happened shennanigans that N.O. made part of their primary game plan for as long as they were a team.

penalties, some bad play calling, and some bad luck just got 'em. Almost feels like 2004.

Drew Brees' 2nd child was born on Tuesday. I don't want to place any blame on that, but I think it would have prevented him from adequate game prep. Ryan's defensive play-calling was absolutely brilliant, too. That was probably the best defensive scheming the Saints have seen in years. That, coupled with the 2 HUGE special teams plays from the Browns and the slew of New Orleans injuries were just too large a hill to climb.

John, are you sure you're not just starting this to troll Gard? Hmm... maybe I should report it to the Mods. :D

Well I started one to troll Gard.

What happened here, when did Mangini turn into Steve Spurrier?

I loved the play calling by both OC and DC.

And, as a Browns fan, I'll take them ANY way I can get' em.

OF course, we'll hear about how the Brownies Offense didn't "win" this one, too.

I certainly wouldn't give a major portion of the credit for the win to the Browns' offense. Their defense did the vast majority of the work. That said, I'm glad to see Colt McCoy shaping up nicely so far. If you ask me, that's a HUGE slap in the face to Brady Quinn, which makes me happy. He never should have been an NFL QB.

While that's true, to me, it doesn't matter who makes an awesome play and a W is a W regardless. Steelers have won many, many games through solid defense, even super bowls. I just don't get it when people say "Well they didn't really W, only W cos of such and such".

I agree. Who cares how you got it done, as long as you put it in the W column. The Steelers and the Ravens have won plenty of games through their defenses, and the Saints have won plenty of games with a high-powered offense. Either way, it's a win.

edit: ah, there we go. 13 points.

Now I don't know you, but I know Gard and he is a lot bigger than me. Do you really want to poke a hornet's nest?

What a strange NFL season for most teams, eh?

:hiding: no, actually i'm a sorta closet aints fan, tbh, or at least as much of one as i can be considering they're part of the nfc and i hold that conference largely in contempt for hosting the cowpaties.

i'm mostly just remarking on how, of all teams, the brownies school the aints. long before the cinderella season last year, the saints had an almost genetic predisposition to completely blow it against teams they should consistently beat. it's like its their destiny to fail and it is rearing its ugly head again.

me too. guy's got serious class and poise, imo, and is going to really amount to something, i think, if he gets more play time.

heh. gard's been my bro for the better part of a decade, long before he'd admit to being a saints fan in mixed company, i'd wager heh (lol j/k :D). and seriously, this wasn't pointed at him per se (although in all honesty i hope he's ok, this really sucks) but more, like i said above, at the aints themselves. they outta be ashamed of themselves, tbh. after all they've put their fans through, this is outrageous.
