The Saints will fall victim to what has become an all-encompassing truth in the NFL:

Eventually, Peyton is gonna get you.

I have no idea what Favre was thinking when he threw that last INT. Open field in front of him! Run!

Yeah thats seems like an obvious mental error, although he was playing with an ankle he injured earlier in the game. Still it was already in field goal range and even a few yards would have bettered the odds, and it looked like he could have gained at least five.

Who has led the league in offense for the past four years? The New Orleans Saints! The Colts place their faith in their offense just as the Saints do, but we lead the league and have lead the league for a little while now. Drew Brees has more yards than any Quarterback in a four year span (since he came to New Orleans)...ever! He is deadly accurate (setting the single season accuracy record this season, almost breaking the record for most yards in a season last year when his top two receivers were injured most of the year, and recorded a perfect passer rating against the New England Patriots this season...a feat which was compared to throwing a perfect game in baseball by ESPN) and has a plethora of weapons (including three great running backs that each offer a different attack) as well as a decent defense on the other side of the ball that is known for big turnovers. Darren Sharper leads the league in interceptions this season.

I wouldn't simply say "we have Peyton Manning and a number of weapons." I fully expect both teams to move the ball at will up and down the field. It is certainly going to be an interesting game since both teams have aggressive defenses that aren't terrible but aren't top ranked either and both teams have incredible offenses that can score from anywhere, at anytime. Best of luck to both teams.

FYI. The phrase "Who Dat?" was stolen by the NO Saints.

It was actually the Oakland Raiders who came up with that catch phrase back in the 80's. Some of the players even had a video commercial of them chanting, "Who dat? Who Dat say they gonna beat the Oakland Raiders?"

The Saints will lose because bit of this plagiarism. [img]http://www.phatmass.com/phorum/public/style_emoticons/default/lol_roll.gif[/img]

Technically the Oakland Raiders stole it from New Orleans as did the Cincinnati Bengals with their "Who Dey Say." The "WHO DAT" originated in an old songs during the 1800's that was in the south. A featured song in E.E. Rice's "Summer Nights" is the song "Who Dat Say Chicken In dis Crowd", with lyrics by poet Paul Laurence Dunbar are the first known recordings of such phrases although it was common in every day speech (remember it is the Southern accent [and especially the Cajun accent (the real one not the stupid one you hear in movies)] which often changes the "th" sound to "d" not any Western or Northern accent- this is an important fact to remember). Such lyrics eventually made their way into Jazz (which everyone connects to New Orleans and the South). After some time, some local high schools (St. Augustine High School) picked it up in the late 60's and then it migrated to Southern University and then in the early 70's to LSU and then quickly after to the Saints (a little while after we got a team in '67). It simply just kind of bubbled up in our culture and was applied to the team in the late 70's. Sorry Raiders fans...guess Raider nation raided another team's cheer and even if ya'll had used it before us, which you didn't, you still would have stolen it from another team's city/culture/and from an accent foreign to ya'll's own. :teach:

And so we proudly chant "WHO DAT SAY DEY GONNA BEAT DEM SAINTS!?!"
