Saints settle for a field goal on 4th down. Pats go for 4th down twice and get a TD. Not saying the Saints won't win the game, just that I believe we just saw the difference in mentalities.

You might be right, but I prefer to think of it as an offense willing to take 3 knowing they will have many more chances vs an offense who thinks it should maximize its trips to the red zone.

from their last Super Bowl win.

It is al well and good that they did that this early in the game and it worked. I'd like to see them try it near the end of the game and risk putting it in the hands of the other team.

I would've driven right off a bridge years ago if I saw every single situation through a lens of pessimism, cynicism, and failure.

He reminds me of Bob Griese. No matter what happens on a play, you can count on Bob to point out during the instant replay how somebody f'd up, blew an assignment, missed a tackle, did something stupid, or otherwise failed miserably at his job, completely ignoring whatever was done well.

I heard him calling a game also. Works for ESPN doing crap games right now. Sounds exactly like his dad.

When America's team comes to the Super Dome December 19, we'll all see the reason America's team is the greatest franchise in all of sports.

Both franchises have poor leadership - the Niners have weak leadership and the Cowboys have leadership that is too strong and meddles too much. Neither franchise is going to do much in the near future until the owners change.
