About a half-hour before kickoff at Monday night's game against the New England Patriots, the entire New Orleans Saints team will gather around quarterback Drew Brees in the south end zone of the Superdome.
Brees will address the team with a quick intro, then repeat the team's 2009 mission statements: "Be special," "Finish strong" and "Smell greatness."
Then the team will break into a spirited count, alternating numbers -- "One! Two!" -- with the words "Win!" and "Again!" The count builds to a crescendo, stopping, ironically, at 10, when the Saints start repeating "Again! Again!" clasp hands and break the throbbing huddle.
who cares about the crowd...minnesota are the best team around in the nfc...they will prove it in the playoffs...AP will run all over the saints and brees wont be able to stand around all day throwing passes when the rhinestone cowboy comes off the edge...

Don't see how you can claim the Vikings are the best team in the NFL as a fact. The Vikings are a very good team this year and there is not much in it in my opinion.
I'd say that the Saints are better if they have certain key players fit - Sharper for one. A few injuries and they could be in trouble but with both teams at full strength, I'd take NO.

My point is that Sharper is one of the important players for the saints. He seems to lift the team and the games where Saints have looked poor have coincided with him being out. No coincidence imo.
I wasn't claiming he was injured last night? Where have I claimed that? He played, got a vital interception, and the Saints defence stopped one of the most potent offences in the NFL. I was merely using this player as an example of one who needs to be in the team for the Saints to be at their best.

ok plain and simple...if all players are fit on both sides either team could win...its any given sunday....but the vikings are the stronger team on paper ;) do you not think they are stronger all round??

how is that stating he is injured? I really don't get it. He was injured and now he's not. I'm saying that the saints are better when he is fit (and playing) as opposed being injured/out. Really don't understand what you are on about.
and I tell you a fact if you want.
You're an idiot. You go from thread to thread trying to force your opinion on everyone, your philosophy being - he who shouts loudest will be heard.
I'll withdraw from this futile conversation. It is against my morals to enter into a battle of wits against an unarmed person.
Cheers.

yes LIFETAKER....you could see the potential last season...apart from when they left the dome in december....this year they wont have to do that which is why they could go all the way.....with the nfc east doing so bad combined with the saints being 11-0 they will be playing indoors through the playoffs..
