Saints Alivet
By JOHN DUDEK
Times Columnist
After ten games, I predicted
before the season, the New Or-
leans Saints would have a re-
cord of 8-2. After this past Sun-
day's 23-20 victory over the San
Francisco 49ers, the Saints im-
proved their record to 8-2.
A lot of their success hinged
on how the team would respond
with a new defensive coordina-
tor, and getting their head coach
back. Well, let's just say they
have bounced back rather nicely.
For the second straight week,
the much maligned defense
held the opposition to under
team was a gust of fresh air for
Saints fans.
With ten games in the books,
the Saints have control of their
own destiny. They are just one
game behind the Seahawks for
the top spot in the NFC. And
they get a chance to make that
game up when they play Seat-
tle on December 2, on Monday
Night Football.
The only other challengers
for the Saints, are the Caro-
lina Panthers. Carolina is en-
trenched in second place in the
division, and boasts one of the
top defenses in football. To me
though, the season's most im-
portant game will be that Sea-
hawks game.
Next up for the Saints is a
Thursday Night Football game
against the lowly Atlanta Fal-
cons.
The Falcons have been argu-
ably the league's most disap-
pointing team. Even with that
said, it always seems to be a
slug lest when these two get to-
gether. I expect it to be a closer
game than it should be, but with
the Saints ultimately emerging
victorious.
Prediction:
New Orleans 27,
Atlanta 17.
200 yards of total offense. Drew
Brees was, well, Drew Brees. Please Notify
Coach Sean Payton's mere Us Of Changes
presence has been a huge boost
for the entire team. While the You Wish Made
defense couldn't be any worse In our Birthday
than it was last year, one could
argue that it has been the most and Anniversary
improved unit in the league. Greetings
