[AFTER MY 4-DAY JSP HOLIDAY… I PRESENT TO YOU THE REGULAR SCHEDULED RANTING OF MY ESSAY BET WITH MOOFY@JSP]I had a Ryan-esque feeling about this game but only said anything to a few close friends. Drew Bree’s has not lost a home primetime game since Katrina IIRC. They even mentioned the streak I believe. This was reminiscent of when everyone assumed the Lolbengals would go into Foxborough and have their way with the Pats at home just because they were on a win streak. Not even fucking close. After the first score, I was like: “Oh god… another game with no defense and we’re the side with the shittier defense.” Turns out we have the less balanced offense as well.
Been ignoring the Lacybust and Lolacy comments for most of the year and I still am not sold on it. His Alabama counterpart had a career game Sunday night but Lacy provided his contributions mostly through the air because as usual, our line went into sieve-mode after we scored the first couple times. “Scoring” is a relative terms because field goals are for beta fuckers. Julius Peppers might have been a freak athlete coming out of college, but if you actually trust him to score on quick slant in the redzone, you have another thing coming. He looked like yoyoyoman in a bar full of woman: completely disoriented and out of place.
Breesus played like his old self and had the help of a talented young rookie:

Fucking phenomenal. The offense redeemed itself after a slow start and the Saints suddenly find themselves relevant in a shit fucking garbage division nicknamed the NFC South. Oh also, Jimmy Graham is apparently still on the team for fantasy owners.
I’m really confused about Green Bay. The comeback potential and poise is limited. You see game like the one at Miami where Rodgers is channeling his inner Montana leading his team down the field. Or you get games like Seahawks, Lions and Saints (All away games) and you see the team get into a hole and refuse to dig itself out. All too familiar feeling. Good thing the bar I was at served liters of Guinness. Helped but watching the Saints eviscerate the Packers on national TV was pretty enraging. No idea how the Saints only recorded 2 sacks… Rodgers was all over the pocket and outside trying to make plays which ended up eventually costing him to make errant throws which led to the interceptions. Lolreceivers. Tipping it right to them both times.
Bye week comes at a good time. Watching the 3 road losses was goddamn infuriating because it was like kid on crutches trying to maneuver on a beach. Fucking impossible feat. Congrats to the Saintgods for giving us a massive slice of humble pie.
