Cajuns get crushed and the Saints lose....

[CrazyCajun]

You are incorrect. It was a 2 for one with a guarantee on the back end. The payout wasn't nearly what we'll get for Florida since the deal was made four years ago. But we got a half mil for the game.

Then why do you correct people when they say it's a money game? Last I check a half million is still considered a pretty good chunk of change. If we left with a big check, it's a money game.

I wasn't expecting that. How things can change in one week.

Neither was I, but after seeing Arizona beat New England (on the road), it made Seattle's loss to Arizona not look too bad. You've got a hell of a defense, and Lynch was a beast as always. I'm not sure you can compete with San Francisco, but if Russell Wilson develops, you may end up in the playoffs. Good luck.

I was undervaluing Arizona...not anymore. I just wish they would throw it to Fitzgerald a bit more...killing my fantasy team.

I didn't. I responded to a poster who said we didn't get a dollar.

Now we may differ in our definition of a guarantee or money game. In my mind that's a game where you get money in lieu of a turn visit. This agreement had a visit to Lafayette therefore I look at it differently. If you don't thats fine.

If we got checks for both trips to Stillwater, I consider that money games. Those checks may have been a little smaller due to them agreeing to come to Lafayette, but still money games.

I have a lot of confidence in Hud and this team. Not so much for the Saints. They've lost to two teams that they should have beaten and their schedule is not going to get any easier after KC. Brees can't do everything and has been put into positions where it seems that he has to try and win the game on his own. He then forces ball and makes mistakes. The defense is just a mess. I'm confident that Loomis did not bring in Spagnuolo to give up 30 points a game.

I think UL only recieved money on the back end.

The first two games of the series were H&H straight up, which is my favorite format.

The second game there is a good faith -cheaper than normal- money game.

Boy did this thread get hijacked or what?

Seems like old times. Bad old times! I have full confidence that Hud will get the train back on track against FIU! However, it is obvious the Saints are missing Payton. In NOLA we were feed the line that the Saints are player driven team and they wouldn't miss Payton that much. I wonder if the Saints could borrow Hud on Sundays?

No doubt not having Payton is bad. Now having said that both Graham, and Lance Moore dropped touchdown passes in the same series inside of the ten yard line and we settled for three. Payton does not change that. Breese throws a foolish pick six, nothing new there. Those are eleven points they gave up that IMO Payton does not change one bit. The defense sucks, nothing new there.

Bad defensive picks over the last few years are beginning to take their toll, and you cannot think you will always be playing from the front. Saints will have a very difficult year due to Payton, and a still awful defense.

Cajuns need to become more consistent on offense while the defense matures. We have three games where it will not take an exceptional effort to win, FIU, TooLame, and North Texas. No we cannot expect wins playing so poor on defense even against these teams, but after that it will be a dogfight every one of the teams except FAU is capable of putting a butt whipping on you if you do not come with your A+ game.
