How sad it is that "Gameday!" just doesn't bring the same level of excitement anymore? 0-4 will do that to you. But at least we have the Drew Brees record to root for... that should take about half a quarter. I'm picturing that emotional high followed by, potentially, a long period of reflection in front of the TV while the game continues along the lines of "how on earth are we sitting here battling to get to 1-4??". That said, I do think the Saints win this game. Don't ask me how, and I'm not suggesting this will begin any sort of run because the defense is still beyond saving... but they will win this game. Calling the magic of Sunday Night Football in the Dome with records on the line and Brees/Sproles playing against the team that had no more use for them. Here's what I'm looking for in this game:
