The later the games in NOLA, the drunker the fans. I expect the crowd to be rowdy for this one. The Seahawks (5-4) come to New Orleans (6-3) for a rare 3:05 game in the Super Dome. Hasselbeck cracked a bone in his left wrist in the first half of yesterday's game against the Cardinals and didn't start the 2nd half. He did return for the 3rd series of the 3rd quarter, however. He was in a cast after the game and he's "hopefull" to play against the Saints. If Hasselbeck can't go, Charlie Whitehurst will get the start (which would be great). Seattle has been struggling offensively all season (sans yesterday when they dropped 36 on the Cards) and the offense should continue to sputter should Whitehurst start against us. If we win this game, we will be a very respectable 7-3. The 12th man will be drunk and in full effect. Should be a fun game to watch
No one is disputing that, but it is a FACT that (in NOLA especially) the later the game...the drunker the fans. I've been to enough games in the Super Dome to know this as factual.
just read that Payton said that it's a "good possibility" that Reggie Bush will return as a punt returner this week against the Seahawks.
Reggie going against his old coach, wonder what the first thing they say to each other is? "Dude, glad we got the hell out of there before the hammer dropped"
This has all the makings of a 400 yard day for Brees. We don't have much of a running game and they stop the run better than most. They can't stop a QB to save their lives however.
