24-10 @ Half. Barring an unexpected Patriots 2nd half comeback, the Saints will remain undefeated. I suppose the only remaining question, then, will be if they'll end up going undefeated for the season.
Damn.. it's going to be interesting to see who comes out of the NFC, the Vikings or Saints. The playoffs should be real good this year.
Great moments in Fantasy history. After being mocked for drafting Brees #8 overall, and the first QB taken, tonight I needed 43 points in our 14-team league to beat my wife, of all people. 48 points from Brees tonight, FTW! Let's just say the texts/calls I got from her from Denver tonight were getting more frustrated by the minute. Not only am I #2 now in the league, but (unfortunately) I likely just knocked her out of the playoff picture.
pats losing always brings a huge smile to my face. infact my 2nd favorite team is whoever plays the pats.
Who is your first favorite team? the team that is playing the team you claim to be your favorite team?
There isn't a defense in the league that can shut down Brees & the Saints at the Superdome. A healthy Pittsburgh Steelers Defense (with Polamalu) in Pittsburgh might be able to, but that's about it. How incredible would it be if the Colts & Saints ran the table and met in the Super Bowl? Both teams fighting for a perfect season. The Super Bowl is in Miami this year, so we'll have to see the '72 Dolphins team rolled out there AGAIN. But it would be for the last time! (thankfully) I also think that the game would be wildly entertaining. Could be a 45-42 type of game with Manning and Brees going back and forth.
Atlanta was in it until the end in N'Arlins. In fact, it may be safe to say that the Falcons played the Saints as tough, or tougher, than any other team thus far this season.
My Skins are facing that juggernaut next week. And my nightmare season just continues to get worse... The guy in my league that has Brees was 41 points behind his opponent, and he ended up winning by 7. Wow.
Your making an invalid assumption. You are assuming the Patriots are a really good team. They aren't. They are old, crusty, pretty good. But not Patriots of 2 years ago good.
