Don’t you think Jim Haslett owes us one for all that he put us through there at the end? The terrible play calling, the wretched defenses, the commitment to Aaron Brooks, the general misery? I think he owes us one.
Jim, you can pay up tonight. Get your Rams to play a little defense and beat the Bears for us. We’d appreciate the help. Not that we can’t make the playoffs on our own power, which we clearly demonstrated last night. But the number one seed in the NFC would be so sweet. A Bears loss would put us one win out of first place in the the NFC.
Tonight, going against every fiber of my being, I will be rooted for the hated St. Louis Rams. I’ve never forgiven them for all those years of crushing us in the NFC West. I was glad that I would never have to do it again, but yes, I will be rooting for Jim Haslett tonight.
About last night’s game. Charles Grant dumped the Gatoraide bucket on Sean Payton and Payton clearly looked like he was pissed. He should be. Yes, it was great that we destroyed his former boss and the “best team in the NFC” on a national stage. But the season ain’t over yet. We haven’t even clinched a playoff spot yet. Let’s not get ahead of ourselves.
But who’s the best team in the NFC now?
I’m sure Dave will find something to worry about in this, but the Saints signed another Bengals player on defense, safety Kevin Kaesviharn. Dave liked Ken Hamlin instead. I think Kaesviharn is much better, as he has not been beaten outside a club with a street sign. Ironic, because he was on the Bengals, who have since all been arrested.
