Why the 49ers Can’t Win on Saturday
"The 49ers’ defense isn’t going to be able to stop the Saints on offense, they just have too many weapons."
"(Alex Smith's) inadequacy in this game is going to result in a victory for New Orleans."
What's Wrong With Just Admitting The Truth ?
This website is a little wonky so make sure you're on page 1 of 3.
"It's time to quit pretending that the Falcons can beat this team with the many shortcomings we have compared to them."
Got it from Jeff Duncan's tweet.
More shirts to come, this year.
Mike Smith has strategy for Saints
As if.
The video is pretty good though, I enjoyed it.
Saints aren't tolerating mistakes in their pass defense

Brees contract talks tabled until postseason
"Saints General Manager Mickey Loomis said he has continued to stay in touch with Condon, and he would be open to making a deal at any point. "
There is paper in the fax machine. Waiting. Otherwise, franchise tag. Your move, Tom.
Greg Cosell on Drew Brees. "To me he's like a computer, maybe the absolute best in the NFL at processing information so quickly."
Jared Allen hates New Orleans. And Detroit.
New Orleans looks like I’m driving through a third-world country every time I get off the plane, I’m like, ‘Oh, flak jacket.’ I’m trying to get down. I’m like, ‘Ah, crap, I can’t carry my gun here. This sucks.’"
Allen's from San Jose CA.
Tracy Porter vs. Patrick Robinson
I'm tired of watching Tracy Porter overpursue and miss tackles, consistently. PRob just seems like a better corner to me. @Take the poll because I really, really care what you think about this.@ Here's one response:
... the defense is doing exactly what we need to do as far as holding teams to however many points we need to win the game." -Malcolm Jenkins
That's it. They aren't playing to shut any team down. Just good enough to win. To expect anything more from this crew would be unreasonable.
Mark Ingram: Foundation Back
ChrisWesseling Chris Wesseling
Greg Cosell: I LOVE Mark Ingram, more so than I did when he came out ... He can be a true foundation back; Saints don't run that kind of O.
ChrisWesseling Chris Wesseling
Cosell: "The only thing holding Ingram back is Sean Payton." Last week, Payton: "Only thing keeping Ingram from Rookie of the Year is me."
Him living out his fantasies via Drew BREEESSS!!!
The View From Section 126
My first game in the endzone at the Peugeot Superdome. Kind of liked it at first but not so much later on. I can't see anything unless they're on my 30 yard line or closer. Anyway, a win is a win but I didn't think either quarterback played particularly well in spite of the stats. Brees started out throwing high and ended throwing low. If I didn't know better, I might think he was in decline. But of course I know better. Sat next to some Giants fans who were still hung over from a weekend on Bourbon Street, very well behaved except when they were chanting DEFENSE!!! for their team in the first quarter. It got quiet after that. On to the pics:

Fantasy Douche: Tebow, Vince Young, and 49rs
"...as humans we can’t look at something like a string of 5 wins and do anything but try to come up with a narrative explanation." Vermeer!!
Franchise tag would cost Brees $2M
Brees would earn around $14 million instead of $16 million if he is franchised next year. In the past, the one-year franchise tag salary was an average of the top five salaries at a player's position. Now, that salary will be an average of the top five salaries over the past five years.

Payton talks with Sproles in the locker room after the Bucs game (Saints Photo)
Interesting that Payton is not wearing his brace, no cast, and I'm not sure that he's keeping all weight off of that leg.
Peyton Manning News-No Saints Content
1) Phil Simms said on Inside The NFL that Manning would not allow the Colts to draft Andrew Luck. Manning denied that and said "'Phil, I hate to break it to you, but I don't watch your show, along with a lot of other people that I don't think watch that show."
2) Rotoworld.com: The Indianapolis Star's Phillip B. Wilson is "leaning beyond 50-50" on Peyton Manning (neck surgeries) "ever playing in Indy again, if anywhere." Wilson says he's "maybe even 30-70" on Manning ever playing again. It's a sobering assessment from the long-time Colts' beat writer, who has been as close to Manning's situation as anybody. Manning is expected to remain without a timetable for a return until he meets with his doctors on December 1.
Are the Saints still an elite team?
View From Section 116: Well, that sucked
We sat in the midst of Rams season ticket holders who drank too much beer and ate too many high fat meats. Honestly, that was a lot of smelly breath and they had plenty to cheer about. Lots of World Series winning good cheer and I have to think that must have had something to do with the Rams' attitude towards this game. Bad breath fans weren't too confident early on, and the local radio guy said something like "...if the Rams can hold on to this lead" towards the end, but the Saints got beat on both sides of the ball throughout the game. After the blocked Morstead punt and the St Louis score, I told suzjo before the kickoff, "Watch Drew BREESS!! press too hard and throw a pick in this next series." I didn't know it would be on the first play. GAAA!!! Well, he tried. Not sure about the rest of his teammates. Or were the Rams that pumped up for this game??

Could he coach from one of those Hover-round scooters I see on TV?

Don Shula has a gently used motorized cart that Payton may be interested in…

NFL owners lean right in political donations (Saints content)
Teams that mostly tilted to the Democrats pushed at least 70 percent of their contributions to left-leaning politicians and groups. They include the Seattle Seahawks, St. Louis Rams, San Francisco 49ers, Oakland Raiders, Philadelphia Eagles, New York Giants, New England Patriots, and New Orleans Saints.
Wait, what? I don't believe it. Maybe they mean Dixiecrats, not Democrats.
Here's the original article with numbers.
Former Saint Hargrove does not inspire taxpayers
"it’s unclear why that inspirational story had to cost the taxpayers $40,000, especially when some of the expenses included five hotel rooms for six nights for Hargrove and his relatives, even though the extent of Hargrove’s speaking was three two-hour sessions."
Mark Ingram is the Saints 3rd best RB. -Ben Muth of FootballOutsiders There Is Reason For That. retweeted by Gregg Rosenthal:
