I was going to a party, but it was out of town and I decided against it because of the forecast for a big storm tonight/tomorrow.

So I’m home on the couch. Go me! Ready to root on the guys in black and gold!

That’s bad for the Saints, right? Doesn’t the winner of the coin toss usually lose or something?

will be checking in later, if my tivo catches up

but, I can’t sit down to watch the game until I get 2 kids into bed, and I’ll be watching most of the commercials, so I don’t think I’ll be catching up.

Rooting for the Saints, but will be happy with either team winning. Hope everyone enjoys the game!

According to Football Outsiders...

…the Saints’ Q1 defense was just about the worst in the league, and their Q2-Q4 defense was stout. So if they can just hold Indy to FGs early, the tide could shift later on. In theory.
