Just face it, the pressure is all on the Saints to win this game. (1 Viewer)

No duh.

Hey, don't tell it to me.

Hey, don't tell it to me.

You're 'pressure' post was patently obvious. That's why I said "no duh". Do you want a few "I agree to a tautological comment" agreements? Here's one=I agree.

You can go ahead and stop with all the "we seem to be the underdog", and the "nobody is pickin us to win" nonsense. It's not fooling anyone. NO is the favorite in this one. Period. The pressure is all on the Saints and there's no way around it. All the "we're not gettin any respect" type talk is getting ridiculous.

Are things that boring in Philly Land that you have to continue to come here to try and ruffle our feathers? Ooops, forgot - You've got the feathers. Won't work, my friend.

Come back Saturday night about 1030PM CST and we'll discuss it then. We'll offer the invite, but we know you won't be back.

Meh. This team has had every possible permutation of being favored or being underdogs, and it hasn't made a whit of difference in the way they've played. There was one game in which they were truly flat ('Skins), but aside from that and a season closer against Carolina in which we played our second- and third-stringers, the Saints haven't lost a single game that pundits thought they "should" win.

If they've already accomplished more than almost anyone ever gave them credit for, how can they feel too much pressure about accomplishing more? If you've already done the impossible, then how can the possible scare you?

In the playoffs the pressure is always on each team to win regardless of the media hype or the games location. I don't think the players feel anymore or less pressure to play their best based on all the opinions of the experts, fans,..or, whomever. You loose and you go home, no second chance, what could exert more pressure 'n that?

As far as the Eagles and the Saints go and any extra pressure being on them from their fan base in case of a loss, the Eagles are the ones that will suffer. They loose and y'all will probably want someones head. Saints loose and they will be thanked for the great effort they gave. IMO.

It's "lose" big fella. Not "loose."

Don't feed him, Sue... That's what he wants.

It can spell but it can't parse logic. Bye troll.

Ah, if we're going to go to that level of discourse, please allow me to point out your missing comma and closing quotation mark. I would hate to see you dislocate your elbow throwing stones while in that lovely glass house of yours.

Thanks and how did you know I was big?
Been talking to my wife?

You're right. I'm sorry. I can't help it; I am a charitable soul and just can't help but feed the needy. I'll control myself from here on.

In closing...

I'm not here to be a troll. Just sayin that all the "we don't get no respect" talk is kinda weird considering that NO is the obvious favorite.

this thread has great potential

Uhm, most of those comments are jokes. We've been getting no respect for so long that saying so is a joke. Read the archives and catch up with the jokes.

I don't feel like I'm getting any respect. I'm gonna need respect. Joe Horn text-messaged me (I'm in the circle) and he told me "llamakc you got no respect, get it".

Joe says llamakc needs respect.

No respect!

That's what happens when you drop around without any immediately knowledge, KD..

There are more than a few injokes around here that first times will "never" understand...

1) Getting no respect
2) TURF!
3) {insert player} is a BEAST!
4) The worst of the bunch:: CARL!!!!
