Yes sir, ladies and gentlemen. This coming Monday, we have one heck of a matchup. The undefeated New Orleans Saints host our very own New England Patriots in the Big Easy, Nawlins', home of gumbo, Dixieland, and Drew Brees.

Saints Nation: Amit's Take

Wed, 25 Nov 2009 14:50:00 -0500

Patriots vs. Saints Next Monday night, the Saints play arguably the toughest game of their season against a team that they have attempted to mimic. The 7-3 Patriots, who have been highly touted as the team of the decade, come into the Crescent City to play the 10-0 New Orleans Saints in a MONSTER game on Monday Night Football. Now, personally, this game is so important to me that I am willing to skip the turkey and dressing and cranberry sauce of Thanksgiving just so I could fast-forward to ...

The Game Against the Patriots Began Yesterday

Mon, 23 Nov 2009 18:26:58 -0500

via www.fastweb.com "Gamesmanship" is the term most used to describe how NFL coaches try to withhold information and deceive opposing coaching staffs in the run-up before any big game. Bill Belichik is one of the most notorious at this. He tends to treat the press like mushrooms--feed them sh*t and keep them in the dark. Our own fearless leader is a well-known follower of this philosophy as well. Sean Payton would rather re...

The letter grade represents the player's performance in the game, and the GPA represents the cumulative performance for the season.Drew Brees: A- (3.04) Brees wasn't flawless, but considering the amount of pressure the Bucs got with their four man front, it was impressive he managed to go the whole game without turning the ball over. He was also never sacked despite getting knocked to the ground 5 times. There wer...

Tue, 25 Aug 2009 15:10:15 -0500

Saints 2007 first round pick Robert Meachem is making a strong case to be a part of the Saints starting trio of wide receivers this season after a disappointing start to his NFL career.

Exhibitionist: It's August, so Robert Meachem is unstoppable

Sun, 16 Aug 2009 23:47:11 -0500

You could power cities on Robert Meachem fantasy hype. Maybe you'll recall the expert community's excitement over his performance at the '07 combine, or perhaps you'll remember our enthusiasm for his 129-yard effort in the preseason opener last year. We were bullish to say the least. But Meachem was shelved in his rookie season with the Saints, slowed by a knee issue that required surgery and left him hopelessly behind. In 2008, he caught nearly as many passes in four exhibiti...

1. Robert Meachem; after missing his rookie season and spending a good part of his 2nd season in Coach Payton’s doghouse Meachem looks to be poised for a breakout year in 2009. Reports are he has been working with a personal trainer all offseason and is in incredible shape. The biggest sign though is that he has learned the playbook and his confidence is soaring now. If all this is true then Meachem could make a push to be the teams #2 receiver
