The Saints got blown out early, then they started to take charge, then Brees said "nah, screw that," pulled a Cutler, and starting targeting the cornerbacks and safeties. Five picks later, the game was done.

Tell me how many times Cutler has thrown 5 picks.  I'll give you a hint.  It's the same as Drew.  Talk crap about someone else...

Why on earth anyone with half a brain would have picked the Saints last night is beyond me.  I was going to make a grocery list of reasons that the Falcons were going to win before the game, but then I noticed that most of the members that picked the Saints were close to me in the prediction league and I didn't need to give any of you guys any help.

Hmm, you're right. Brees didn't fake an injury and then sulk on the sideline for the rest of the game, so I guess my analogy was a tad off. I'll amend it to say "he had five Cutler-esque moments." I'm glad we've reached this happy compromise.

Noname, you and I have been friends for a while, but I am calling bullshit on this statement.  Cutler had gotten a severely sprained MCL that game which didn't allow him to plant in order to throw.  He attempted to throw a pass after getting the injury and his entire leg gave underneath him.  To top it off, he didn't ask to leave the game.  His coach, Lovie Smith, told him to sit.  I'm sure that you'll make a joke about his coach not having faith in him but whatever...  About him sulking; how would you react if you had played football your entire life, had gotten one game away from the Super Bowl, had to sit on the sidelines and watch the biggest game of your career, and not be able to do anything about it?  Would you be whistling zippity doo dah?  I know that I wouldn't.  My point is that he is tough and you really should stop with this crap.  I have watched the man take the worst beating that I have ever seen a Bears QB take over the last few years (this is saying a lot), normally pop right up, and more often than not win the game.  And about him being a bad player; he is actually a good QB.  How do I know this?  When he plays, the Bears usually win.  When he doesn't, they look like one of the worst teams in the league.  Look at the last two seasons if you want proof of this.  I am not saying that he's a perfect QB, but he should not be synonomous with shitty QB play, being a coward, and a sulking jerk like you are trying to make it look here.  You need to stop looking at the world through green and yellow tinted glasses.

The rest of this post you pretty much said the exact same thing as Rol, so I will you to be right about the Saints Falcons game just like he is.  But I was right about who was going to win.
