DOLPHINS: Brees

[Danny Nelson]

I think you're right Lionel.  The Saints were geared up for this one.

Now, if you believe in trap games then their next game vs. Washington would
seem to have all the qualifications: clearly inferior opponent, follows a big
win, sandwiched between the Pats and division rival Atlanta, on the road,
short week, etc.

Typically I think most teams will stumble along the way, however I have to say
that this Saints team seems to be extremely focused.  Next week at Atlanta is
probably their best opportunity to lose one.  The Falcons will be seriously
geeked up for that one.  I'm calling in favors to try and get tickets to that
game.
