    Super bowl victory today. Sweeping those fuckers and keeping them from a winning season. Lovely.

    This year's 7-9 feels a whole hell of a lot better than last year's. Simply bc we got swept last year and did the sweeping this year! Hypothetical....if the Saints were to go 2-14, as long as both victories are vs. Atl....that's how much beating them means to me!

    I predicted 6-10. Finished 7-9. Back in Archie's time, would have been a good year to finish 7-9, and sweep Sadlanta. Expectations are certainly much higher now. DB minus 1 game, and nearly finishes w/5K yds. Unbelievable. People keep comparing him to TB, and wonder what he'd do if he had their D, but CSP is a sig. key to how successful he's been. They are an amazing team. Without CSP and with Pats D, not sure he achieves the numerous 5K seasons he has.

    7-9 just seems like a world apart from 6-10, so happy to avoid that 10 loss season

    Would have been great to end the season with 3 straight wins and an 8-8 record but that Detroit first half debacle happened.

    So Brees played with the torn planter fascia and ended the season with 7 TDs and 0 Ints in 2 1/2 games.

    I love it because we ruined their undefeated season for the 2nd time in 3 years and sent them on their way to a 6 game losing streak. Dirty birds came in flyin high and left with a broken wing and earned them the distinctive honor of 'Collapse of the Year'; as awarded by ESPNs Bill Barnwell. I also liked how our bottom dwelling defense shut them out in the 2nd half.
