What others are saying about the New Orleans Saints' amazing comeback win against the Cowboys (1 Viewer)

[justdave]

Say what you will about the Saints being the defending World Champions; when you play a football game in Big D on Thanksgiving Day, even if you win, the stories seem to revolve more around what the Cowboys didn't do than what the Saints accomplished.

"Breaks arrive, but playoff hopes leave"

I don't get that quote. Only way a 7-loss team is playing for the playoff's is in the NFC west. A 11-5 team might not even make it this year unless some teams start imploding.

Actually, they are giving a lot of props to the Saints. From the third link

* Part of being a team that is capable of winning a Super Bowl is the ability to figure out a way to get a win - especially when the team is not playing as well as it can. The Saints entire 2010 is shaping up like that, as they are 8-3, without playing to their standards of 2009 in many regards. Yesterday is a perfect example where the Cowboys emotional level was extremely high and the momentum of the game was getting away from the Saints. But, all you have to do against a good team is leave the door cracked just a little and they will come storming through. Surely this is what happened yesterday. The Roy Williams fumble will be long remembered in Dallas as a ball you must secure. But, from a Saints perspective, it was stealing victory from the jaws of defeat by Malcolm Jenkins. What a clutch play and the momentum stealing scenario that can be the difference in not only a game, but a season. We saw the Cowboys "figure out" how to win games that they could and should have lost back in the 1990's and the opponents would shake their heads on the way back to their airplanes in disbelief. Winning is often decided on one moment, and that fickle hand of fate smiled on the Cowboys when Bryan McCann worked his magic against the Lions, but perhaps things evened out when Jenkins ripped a victory out of Williams' arms.

I was watching mike and mike before game and they said something like cowboys could make playoffs. Huh at that time both wild cards had 7 wins and so did Tampa.

That win showed why we are the Champs!

Awesome no mention about the malcom strip

 

[bergeaux]

I don't want any kudos. I'd rather them think of us as just another "good" team, rather than the best team in the NFL. Which the Saints are.
