only to see the teams porous, foul-prone defense give it away to the opponent.

New Orleans is back in action on Thursday, at home to the Broncos. That should get them back on track, hopefully!

Im a Seahawks fan, scored tickets to their 1st playoff game ever, on a radio contest. I was serving at Ft Lewis.
Since then, we sucked, we won it all, once. LilBit played catch on the field with Russell.
Football becomes a 2nd family, in a way. Some days we hate them, some days , we love them.
We always look forward, to seeing them, again.

He turns 35 next August. Gotta wonder if the era of the Saints trick plays is about to come to a grinding halt.

I enjoyed the way that Hill was utilized as such a utility player, including backup QB. He's a Swiss army knife. But he's been pretty banged up and Father Time catching up with him.

And a quiet leader on the sidelines. There’s probably not another like him on the horizon. I’ll be a Saints (and Eagles) fan the rest of my days. Maybe culminating in a Jazz Funeral in the Quarter. The only way to go.
