best game of the weekend.

best game of the weekend.

We shall see. New Orleans has handled Carolina by double digits, in the 2 regular season meetings

 

[SECfb]

I know it is hard to beat a team 3 times in one year.I still like the Saints though today. They are just a more all around consistent team than Carolina, plus playing at home. Cam is just to up and down, and the whole offense is on him

 

[eastside_purple]

Well, that was a series of bad plays for the panthers.

Ginn burned his former team, on that bomb TD

 

[SECfb]

Saints starting to get in better flow with their offense now, after a slow start. 14-3, Saints.

 

[SECfb]

Wow, Gano 58 yard FG at the half! Saints lead 21-9

 

[Crusaders]

New Orleans looks a SB team right now

 

[SECfb]

Carolina is moving the ball against the Saints, but settling for FGs is not going to cut it. 21-12 now, 3rd quarter

 

[Neopolitan]

Saints offense vs Vikings defense would be fun to watch.

Carolina not out of it yet though.

 

[Crusaders]

The Saints' running game saved Brees' arm this year. He looks fresh

He always had great accuracy, but you are right when you have a good running game, the passes are much easier to make.

Hoping Cam cries at the press conference after the game.

 

[SECfb]

Carolina still in this. They finally get a TD. 24-19, early 4th quarter

 

[SECfb]

Big TD for the Saints! The Saints lead 31-19, with 5:08 left. Carolina in deep trouble now.

 

[Crusaders]

Wow. That was big

 

[SECfb]

Wow spoke a little too soon. McCaffrey breaks lose on a 56 yard TD pass. Lead cut to 31-26..still 4:09 left. Lots of time.

 

[SECfb]

McCaffrey got wheels!

 

[SECfb]

Big stop by Carolina! They are going to get one more chance

 

[SECfb]

WTF are the Saints doing?

 

[Crusaders]

Why.

 

[SECfb]

Saints going to blow this game

 

[SECfb]

Well the Saints won it, but should have never been in that ending situation

 

[Crusaders]

Still can't believe they went for it on 4th down

 

[SECfb]

Still can't believe they went for it on 4th down

That was crazy. I would have just punted it deep. But oh well, they got away with it

 

[eastisbest]

32 years old, never a really good year and Ginn hangs in there with a big contract. Looking at his stats he has only 360 career receptions? 50 this year. The difference a Brees led attack can bring?

This would be his third (?) Superbowl if the makes it? Be nice to see.

He looks ready to win a few more.

Carolina committed to stopping the Saints' run game, which they essentially did, but doesn't it seem crazy to dare Brees to beat you with his arm ?

Just a better team.

He looked OK with Cam. Miami was Miami.
