Ahhh football. How you ease my soul.
Saints playing pretty awesome. Defense looking sexy. 3 sacks and pressure all day. Stonehands Harper coming up with a pick and a fumble recovery. I feel it in my bones. Destiny.
Anyway, read an article on one of the most underrated players in the NFL, Marques Colston. Some intriguing stats:
--Only the 7th player in the NFL history to post 1000 yards receiving in 6 of their first 7 seasons (he was injured for much of 2011).
--Going back to 2006 when he joined the league, he is 9th in yards with over 7,000.
--His diving touchdown reception on Sunday gave him the most catches in Saints franchise history; he now holds the top spot in Saints history for receptions, receiving TDs, and yards.
--Brees to Colston has produced the 7th most yards for a QB-WR combo in history
--72% of his catches go for first down
And despite all this, he has 0 Pro Bowl appearances.
Anyway, some predictions:
--The Saints will beat Peyton Manning in the Super Bowl again, finishing with a record of 17 - 2
--The Falcons will have a losing record for the first time in the Matty Ice Age
