New Orleans Saints Playoff Thread
1 Attachment(s)
Well, the regular season is over. Saints are in the playoffs. A team that played way beyond expectations. Finds itself in the number 2 slot in the NFC.
A situation they have never been in before. They have been to the playoffs a hand full of times in their history. But they have only won ONE playoff game ever. When it comes to the Saints, I'm a bit superstitious, and don't like to talk about such things as playoffs. But I can barely contain my excitement for this years' team. Next weekend is the wild card playoffs, so the Saints and the Chicago Bears have that weekend off, while they await to see who their opponents will be come the following weekend. In the mean time I hope to use this thread to post any new Updates regarding the Saints and their playoff hopes. I invite all our local Saints fans to jump in with their support. WHO DAT! :gosaints: Quote:

Not sure.
Not sure how this works out..
But next weekend in the NFC It's Seattle vs. Dallas in Seattle. and Eagles vs. Giants in Philly if Seattle beats Dallas and the Giants beat Philly, we would play Seattle the following week ? I think if the Eagles beat the Giants, we would play them the following week instead. The Saints have beaten the Giants, Eagles and the Cowboys during the regular season once already.... LOL not sure I can take it !!!! Edit: o.k. after some more reading.. is this it: The Saints can either play the Eagles or the Dallas/Seattle winner The Bears can either play the Giants or the Dallas/Seattle winner :gosaints: |

Reggie Reggie Reggie
I was down in New Orleans when it was announced that the Saints got Reggie in the draft. People were going nuts.. that was just the beginning :)
:gosaints: |
Could it be the year ???
Does this bi this week count as a win ? I count it as a win. I am pumped about LSU for tonight. This could be the year for LA football. Heck Booty led USC to a big win and he is a local boy. Tail gate tonight and down to victory lane which is a warm up for the Saints walk down the same lane.

The stage is set, Eagles vs Saints
The Eagles head down to New Orleans for a Saturday Night showdown in the Dome. You think that New Orleans crowd is going to be loud ?? maybe ?
Don't know if I can stand the stress, gonna be a long week. I'm gonna take a break from talking about Football for a few days.. otherwise I'll go nuts. So here's just a few last minute notes from me for a bit.. Link: Saints-Eagles Divisional Playoff Game to Be Played on Saturday at 7:00 pm CT Link: Payton Earns Highest Coaching Honor; Named AP's Coach of the Year Link: Recent History: A Look Back at the Saints' 27-24 Win Over Philadelphia on Oct. 15 :gosaints: |
Don't know if I can stand the stress, gonna be a long week
Now, now late night the Saints have a great team and as I have posted before there is no luck involved here they are a good team and good teams win because they are GOOD ! Now there is the extra player called the crowd and I am sure that they will do their part and then off to the next step in taking the big show. They WILL win and it will not be luck that gets it done. Now there is one factor to fear the dreaded "Zebra" having a bad day !

If it comes down to freakin' overtime, I just don't see me handling that kind of stress. I'll have to step outside to my bar, and take a few shots.. and listen to the crowd noise or something.. :gosaints: |
Gooooooooooooo Saints
I thought you would like the OT comment ! Just a football game and no matter what the Saints have had a great year and have a quality staff and team. So off with the brown bags and let the black and gold roll on in to Feb with a final win ! I will do my best to keep this thread alive till Sat when you start a new one :D

Brown Bag Sat Night
Could this be the year of the Saint ? or maybe the year of the brown bag. I think the only way the brown bags would be back if the gamed was a total blow out like 50 to 3 or something like that ? Stay tuned ......
Snow Man :cool: |
LOL and apparently I can't seem to stay away.. or keep my eye off the NFL network channel or ESPN.. UGHHHH
No, don't see it being a blow out.. even as nervous as I am about this game. Regardless of the outcome of this game.. given the Saints only won three games last year.. to make it into the second week of the playoffs this year is nothing short of amazing as far as I'm concerned. Between a new QB, rookie Head Coach, and a few other rookie skill players, this season has been great. I think the fans down in New Orleans all understand this as well. Even home games that have been lost earlier in the year, the Fans hung around until long after the game was over, to show their support to the team. I hate to think about it.. 2nd week of the playoffs.. Saturday Night.. New Orleans Superdome.. and what happens after a win or after a loss.. :gosaints: |
given the Saints only won three games last year..
You sound like you are preparing yourself for defeat :confused: I think the Saints have a good team and I do not watch much football but I do catch the Saint every time I can. They have a great team and this has been a great season if not the best season yet so time to tailgate and have a good time and watch them win it will be great.

But at the same time, I've been a Saints fan for some 30 years.. I'm accustomed to hard times.. so I'm hesitant to get my hopes up too high.. My kids keep telling me how the saints are gonna kick the Eagles @#@$ this Saturday.. as they told me they would beat the Cowboys when I was worried about that game :) They don't have my years of experience.. LOL I just hope it's a blowout.. because I don't know if my heart could handle a close game :) !! :gosaints: |
I just hope it's a blowout..
The day of the Saints is at hand and when you buy your beers get a bunch so they have to place it in a brown bag :D Just joking there late night but you do not want to drink to many beers before they win because you might not see the end.

This thread can not die or the Saints will :-)
I just go a email from a company I do business with in PA and I copied my friend George's email after I ask him his thoughts on the big game Sat and here it is :D
However the game turns out it should be close. I am a football fan and an Eagles fan. I was more worried about the Giants than I am with the Saints(could be false hope though) I just hope the game is good. They played a back and forth game earlier in the year hopefully its a repeat with a slightly different outcome. (George) Oh yea it will be the same and my friend George (nice guy) will be crying come Sat :gosaints: Isaac |

well the Saints beat the Giants like 30-7 a couple of weeks ago..
I hope that game does not go to their head ? I think they play better when they come off a loss or a real close game.

The saints of old used to choke all the time under any pressure. I'm trying to recall this year.. the saints first MONDAY NIGHT home opener in New Orleans.. It was a media frenzy, and the crowd was INTENSE, and the Saints won big against the Falcons! Then there was the Sunday Night game against the Dallas Cowbows.. at the time both teams were 8-4 I believe.. fighting for that 2nd seed in the playoffs, and the saints blew them away. Just hoping they can pull that off just a few times this year, tomorrow night, in the Dome, a divisional playoff game.. .. UGHHHHHHHHH!!!!!! :gosaints: |

That would have been my daddy's Saints ? :D

Alright folks this is it. Throwin' out all the stops today. When it comes to the saints I can be very superstitious. And try to keep things to a routine. For example, NO ONE in the house is allowed to wear any Saints jerseys on game day. Kids don't invite friends over, and I don't either, Always just me and the boys shoutin' at the T.V. Well tonight, I got some friends comin' over, kids have some friends and cousins comin' over for the big game. Saints' jerseys are optional :) Anyone out there with some connections want to call in some divine intervention for the Saints.. please do so. I hope come half time I'm laughin' my ass off!.. I hope, I hope. see you on the other side. :gosaints: http://www.shreveport.com/forums/att...3&d=1167680861 |
call in some divine intervention for the Saints..
Saints are already Saints what more could they ask for :) They have the hot line and I am sure they are using it as I write this. There is no luck here just two football teams and the Saints have that home field going for them. It will be a wild night in the Big Easy.
Isaac:gosaints: |
pass the word
everyone is raisin' a glass to toast the New Orleans Saints today at 6:45 CST
I'll drink to that. http://saintsreport.com/forums/image...ies/duncan.gif http://saintsreport.com/forums/image...s/beerchug.gif :gosaints: |

Late night you are either up early or you have not been to bed yet :D Great game and the party down in the Big Easy is still going on. On to next week will you start a new thread ? could be bad luck or will we keep this thread alive all the way to the Super Bowl ? Well congrats to you and the Saints and next week will be a great week just think the Saints have never been this far and the road ahead is all new ground.

Wow, I want to watch that game again ! Tell you what, I missed the very first Saints possession, due to a last minute trip to the store.. and I think I'm glad I did, I got back, and my kids are hollering at me "Reggie Got Hurt! Reggie Got Hurt!" I see now why they were so upset about it.. oops, sorry folks, looks like that video got pulled from YOUTUBE. :gosaints: |
How in the world could he take that hit
and still play football ? wow I would have been in rehab for months. Great team and a great game. Now time to pull for the Seahawks so we can pull against them next week at home.
:gosaints: Isaac |
And just like that, the stage is set
Bears beat the Seahawks in overtime.
And just like that, the stage is set. New Orleans Saints travel to Chicago next sunday for the NFC Championship game! Here we go again ! If Duece runs next week like he did last night.. LOOK OUT !!! DEUUUUUUUCE !! http://www.neworleanssaints.com/phot.../13-5U4678.jpg :gosaints: |

WhoDat from Houston!
Hi Ark-La-Tex Saints fans. We're Saints season ticket holders in Houston, Tx. I lived in the Toledo Bend area to the south of you a long time ago, but now live in Houston, where I work as a radio personality & traffic reporter also. Houston is the nation's 4th largest city now, & I'm right in the middle of the action, but truthfully, I'd come back to the area in a minute flat if I found the right job.
I remember being steaming mad because local tv would insist on showing the Cowboys. I thought, "Do these people not know what state they're in?" My wife and I came to the Preseason Saints/Cowboys game back in August, and had a teriffic time, despite the awful game itself. Shreveport did it up right and turned the game into a huge event, as they should. I hope you get another game this coming fall. Count on us, if you do. The city had plenty of sightseeing, dining, shopping, and fun. And the Saints fans tail- gate parties were well worth the drive from Houston. Actually, youre closer than New Orleans, and we've made the drive to N.O. 7 times this season. Anyway just wanted to shout some encouragement to you guys in NW La. I remember thinking I was the only Saints fan up there. Yall stick together and wear your black & gold everywhere! Visit us at Saintsreport.com. We also have a huge Saints following here in Houston, where we WhoDAts have OWNED the sportsbars here all season! Be sure to look us up, if you come to H-town. I'll use any excuse to come back and visit S-port/Bossier. WHO DAT!!!! |
Hey there WhoDat from Houston
thanks for stopping by !
yea, showing Dallas games instead of Saints games was always a drag for sure. But it was a reason to head down to a sports bar or the like to watch the game, which can certainly be fun too.. Especially this season. Season ticket holder.. wow ? were you at that game Saturday night ?? I saw a clip someone had made using their cell phone or something.. the last few seconds of the game.. it was just so Incredibly loud, sounded absolutely insane ! :) :gosaints: |
