    Regarding the win over Buffalo:

    “I’m pleased,” said Head Coach Sean Payton. “I’m not into style points, I care that we won the game.”

    Why wouldn't it be believable?

    That's how I feel about LSU's season so far.

    Yeah but you're far from Coach Payton.

    I agree Sabanfan is far from coach payton.

    However, he is very close to Dandy Don.

    You didn't answer my question. Why wouldn't his statement be believable.

    I don't apologize for being a positive person.

    I think he's getting at the idea that Payton has a lot of pride and loves having the offense march up and down the field. He may not really like having to grind out a win.

    I'm hoping it's legit, though, because it would mean he's maturing as a coach. It really feels like it's all coming together.

    How close are you to hopping on the bandwagon, anyway? You may not want to admit it, but I see you warming up to this team :)

    I like what I'm seeing. It appears that winning is now as important as the bottom line. If I feel that management is doing all it can to produce a winner then I'm on board. I still haven't seen an entire game. If something bad happens I bail. I keep waiting for the roof to cave in.

    Style points don't count in the NFL. That was really good for the Saints to have Drew have a bad game and still come out with the Victory. It proves that the Saints can win in more ways than 1. Good for the Saints.


    BAD FOR ME. Drew killed me in fantasy football. Not only did i play Drew, i played Marques too. They killed me. I lost in 1 league because of that.

    In league 2 i lost because no one on my team showed up. Felix Jones had a nice night until he got hurt then Tashard Choice ripped it up. Lee Evans never gets looks because Trent Edwards is the biggest waste of human excrement on the planet. Trent Edwards has screwed me 3 years in a row, either directly or indirectly. I hate that guy, and i want to see him get smashed, not injured, just bloody.
