Giants vs. Saints

[kartanoman]

In the 2011 Season Playoffs the Giants we're going to face either the Saints or the Niners. I had a friend in Florida so we decided to take a chance and bought the Saints tickets fully refundable and drove to New Orleans. Great trip and great city and we watched the Niners game in a Sports Bar. I think the Giants were lucky because I don't know if they would have beaten the Saints.

I remember that Divisional Playoff game very well, Ed. Sean Payton and Drew Brees used to eat the Giants up on offense and they were doing a great job on the 49ers' defense that day. But Alex Smith probably had the game of his career in matching Brees TD for TD and pulled off an amazing game winner to his TE with only seconds left. I think if the Saints had won, it would have been a bloodbath game for the Giants. Thank goodness it never came to pass.

But Coughlin never forget those hoese-whippings from Payton. The next season, the Saints finally had to travel to New Jersey to play the Giants and retribution rained down on them more so than the showers that late afternoon game. The Giants put 52 on Payton that day to send them home with a "how do you like that?" message? Of course, Payton returns the favor the next time the Giants visit the Dome with a 51-49 win. I hate when they play the Saints!

Peace!
