Roy Williams sounds ready to take on the Saints.
"Might as well crown them, right?" Williams said before Tuesday's practice. "They’re undefeated. It’s December. We don’t have a chance."Or is he just messing with the media?
"If we pack our bags and show up in New Orleans on Saturday night," Williams continued, "we should be victorious."

confidence isn't heart
Show me that on the field, thats where I want to see it. Anyone can say those things now, show me on the field Roy, show me on the field.
In Romo we Trust
He has played well the last two games.

Great. Blackboard Material For An Elite Team
Dallas is an elite talent-level team that consistently underachieves, New Orleans is elite in talent and plays up to it’s ability. Ugh.
Greetings from the Humungus, the Ruler of the Wasteland, the Ayatollah of Rock and Roll-A. I laugh at your puny plans.
I think blackboard material is a joke
First of all, spoiled athletes making millions of dollars need someone to say something about them to motivate them?
Second of all, going 16-0 is more incentive than an average WR talking shit.

If this does become some kind of bulletin board garbage then it will further my belief that football players are the most emotionally sensitive people out there. They sure seem to get their feelings hurt easily.

You're kindding, right?
Pro sports are littered with enormous egos, and when enormous egos feel they’re being “disrespected”, it does something to motivate. And it’s not exactly like it’s specific to sports either.
You think the fact that because someone is a “spoiled athlete making millions of dollars” doesn’t make them human? Why does Brandon Jacobs play so well against us? Because he hates the Cowboys. In 2003 the Sacramento Kings had great blackboard material against the Mavs, and even though the Kings had the best record in the west many reporters considered the Mavs the up-and-coming team. Well it pissed them off and Sacramento massacred the Mavs.

Maybe Sacramento was just better?
Either way, emotions play a part. How big of a part? That is up to the individual. I don’t think that really talented players need bulletin board material to play well. Do you think Payton Manning really gives a rat’s a$$ what the opposing corner says the week before they play? Would Ratliff play harder if the Saint’s center called him a Pu**y the Wednesday before the game? I don’t think so.
"Help, it's hot and dark in here and someone is laughing." Taco Bell
Jacobs plays well against us?
In 8 career games, only has 2 100 yard games and 4 TD. His receiving TD this year was his first against us. 458 yards in 8 games, for an average of 57.25 per game.
Yea, his hatred of us really makes him play well against us….
4 of the 8 games, he had 40 yards or less. And I didn’t even count his rookie year when he only had 2 carries each game against us.
Yep... definitely the case

Mavs beat the Kings in 2003....
You are talking about 2004 when the Mavs stupidly ran out a lineup with Walker, Jamison, and a team that largely did not fit together. The Mavericks did not lose that series because there was bulletin material, but because the Mavs weren’t very good.

If Dallas goes 3-0, they win the NFC East no matter what...
If Dallas goes 2-1 (assuming a Saints loss), they need the Giants or Eagles to lose an additional game (outside of an Eagles loss to the Cowboys) to make the playoffs.
If Dallas goes 1-2 (still assuming a win over the Eagles since that will be pretty necessary no matter what), the Giants will have to go 1-2 and the Eagles will have to lose out.

Thank you Roy...
A grateful Saints nation thanks you from the bottom of its collective heart for this little gem.
Athletes are always looking for ways to motivate themselves…tricking themselves into believe other players are slighting them, inventing imaginary insults. No imaginary devices will not be needed this week. Thanks!
I doubt if the Saints really care what RW says
especially if they look at his stats.
How bout dem Frogs!!!!
If the 13-0 Saints need trash talk from an average receiver to motivate them
Good luck with your 1 and done in the playoffs.
The Saints have won alot of close games and everything is going right for them at this point.
I believe from watching them that their record is perfect but they are far from perfect. As a fan for many years , do not overestimate that fact and things can turn in a heartbeat.
Oh crap Tiger…….I just gave them motivation. How stupid can I be , talking trash and firing them up. Now they are sure to come in and just kill the Cowboys for what Roy and I said.
On a serious note: you are kidding me that a team that is undefeated here’s trash talk and just all the sudden whips the other team? You do realize they still have to play a desperate Cowboys team too? I mean there will actually be another motivated team on the other side of the line. Seriously, needing trash talk to motivate adults is ridiculous.

Sorry, but no matter what happens this game....
the Saints are primed to be picked off their first playoff game.
Why do I say that? Well, history is on my side. First, how many playoff games have the Saints won, ever? I want to say 1, but it might be 2. Second, the NFC’s top seed has been knocked off in their first home game the last two years (Cowboys, G-ants).

Dont be so cruel

He brought up our December record from the past then said they dont mean anything . That was just an odd reply session to say the least lol

Well, I was trying to be nice but
Your December record is current and on going…………………Ours is in the past. We have not been to a Super Bowl yet but neither did the Cowboys till their first one. What can I say, we had a shitty team for years but we also have the best winnig percentage in the NFL for the past 12 years(Just no Super Bowls). Last weeks win gave us the most wins by an NFC team ever. I realize that we have been the joke of the NFL for years but that was growing pains. We are still here and will be for years to come and as I see it, Jerry Jones is allowing your Cowboys to erode away till they will be the Laughing stock and I see that is already happening. Good Luck Saturday nite because you are going to need it caus my Saints are going to destroy your Cowboys just like the last game (07) in your house
Best winning % in the NFL in the past 12 years?
Seriously?
I’m going to have to dig into this one. I’d be willing to be a lot of money that the Patriots and the Colts disagree.
Most wins by an NFC team ever? I hope you mean after 13 games…
Your December record is current and on going
All records are current and ongoing! Yet this is not a streak by any means (streaks are wins in row or loses) , so that is going into the past as you stated yours is too.
we also have the best winnig percentage in the NFL for the past 12 years(Just no Super Bowls
Well Eagle fans may have something to say on this tidbit lol
Last weeks win gave us the most wins by an NFC team ever.
Cowboys were 13-3 just a few years ago and I am sure there has been a 14-2 team somewhere in the past in the NFC.

great another reply conversation where someone from another fan
base is just throwing numbers off the top of their head and no facts. Like I said even the Eagles have had a far better winning percentage the last 12 years than the Saints.

I'm putting the numbers together now
And only looking at a handful of teams.
For the record, in the past 12 years the Cowboys have 5 more wins than the Saints. The Colts? 38 more….
lol
In all fairness you do have to feel for their fans…….I mean they havent won anything EVER. So with that I am happy for them but not for them to come and trash talk like they have been doing it for a long time.

what we need
is to win out…
but even going 10-6 we still have to hope some things happen.
-giants need to lose at least once (49ers?, Redskins?, last game of season against Vikings?)
or
-packers can lose out (steelers, seattle, arizona) and we will have 3 NFC east teams likely in. if packers and Cowboys go 9-7 packers have the tie breaker.
anyways lets just win out and hope the giants, eagles, and packers lose from here on out.
i have a good feeling about saturday :o)
Nice of him to talk
They still won’t beat the Saints.
So I think.
2009 Dallas Cowboys: 10-6
2009 New York Jets: not 11-5 :(
2009-2010 Dallas Mavericks: 57-25
Any given Sunday (or Saturday)
Can the Cowboys beat the Saints?
The Raiders beat the Eagles, so it’s entirely possible. How likely is it? I’m not sure. I’d say that the Cowboys have a 30% chance of winning. If I had money on the game, I’d have to have pretty good odds to make a bet on the Boys, but I don’t think it’s impossible.
Even the Lions win games.
Go Cowboys. If we show up with our A+ game, which so far this season we’ve still not done for 60 minutes, we can beat the Saints. Again… is that possible? We’ll know soon.

what were the odds that the Saints would be 13-0?

17 years?
The Cowboys have more Lombardi Trophies in the past 17 years than the Saints have playoff wins in their history.
Ok seriously , I would love to hear an compelling arguement
that the Saints, just their record, are a perfect team. Someone make me see different, than what I have been watching them do the past 3 or so weeks. They can be beat and simple fact with all NFL teams their fortunes can turn into misfortunes in a second. They are good but their not unbeatable.
I am really wondering by what all other fans are saying , Roy may have a good point and we shouldn’t show up cause we already lost. Sarcastically speaking for sure!!!!!!!!!!

The Saints are not perfect
But what makes their season so special is the mix of talent, good coaching and LUCK that they’ve had. They’ve had some damn good luck, some questionable calls that led to a few wins. But the bottom line is they are 13-0. However, they are not like the Patriots a few years ago that beat everyone by 30. They are winning every way possible.
They are not perfect. They might not even be the favorite in the NFC. However, they are DAMN good.

Yeah I don't see "bulletin board material"
he’s right. Problem is, somebody always seems to show up with unpacked bags.
I see this game totally differently from my fellow fans...
NO has sowed up their division and a first round bye perhaps even home field throughout. What do they have to play for? 16-0? It’s been done already. If Dallas’ offense can get untracked and SCORE TDs early, I see us winning this game going away. NO is basically where we were in 07 with Philly. Nothing to play for but injuries. IMHO of course.
New Orleans players and coaches have already said their goal is 16-0
They will play this game no different than any other.
And the #1 seed isn’t theirs yet. A win and Minn loss/tie gives it to them this week.
If
If Dallas pressures Brees often and early and if able to put him on his back a couple times, I guarantee you Payton will slow down the offense. There is no way they will risk an injury to a perfect season.
Getting to Brees is a big problem

by mississippisaintsfan on Dec 16, 2009 5:36 AM CST up reply actions
Still think they are ready for their fall.
They are not significantly better than Dallas in any category but have played well as a team throughout. And again, their defense is their offense. Don’t get behind early, run effectively and winning is a very real possibility.
The biggest difference
between the two teams is confidence. Dallas has little to none, always expecting the bottom to fall out.
Nick Folk is the perfect example. In fact, he should be the face of the franchise for this season. No other player represents what the Cowboys are this year…full of promise, talented, but ultimately a good shrink away from being a complete team.
Regarding Roy’s quote. Did anyone catch Michael Jordan’s Hall of Fame speech? Athletes at this level are ALWAYS looking for ways to further motivate themselves. Of course, an underachieving receiver saying it was thing and Romo is seeing is another. But it is bulletin board material and it will probably result in a more severe beat down.
The Saints are 13-0
but they have literally come out of nowhere – the past two years they were 8-8 and 7-9 with largely the same cast of characters. It’s not like they are the Colts, who always start off undefeated (at least it seems like it). The Saints are who we throught they are and have been since 2006 – a great offense but a suspect defense.
Now they have Gregggg Williams and Darren Sharper, which has improved the defensive rankings somewhat, but they are still lower half of the league in total yards and points allowed. The only quality QB’s they’ve faced in the past 13 games were Eli Manning, Tom Brady and maybe Matt Ryan, and they handled them quite well. Yet they’ve allowed huge games to nobodies like Kevin Kolb, Jason Campbell and Chris Redman. They’ve also given up monster rushing games to several opponents.
Their pass rush hasn’t been anything special, just 27 sacks in 13 games, or barely 2 a game. The main difference has been turnovers – 37, or nearly 3 a game. This has made all the difference, but 13 fumble recoveries and 8 defensive touchdowns? That’s a bit lucky.
The question is, can Dallas – with its quality QB and solid running game, take advantage of the suspect Saints defense? My gut says no. I see an extremely raucous crowd on a Saturday night giving New Orleans an insane home field advantage. We haven’t seen Flozell commit any penalties in some time – I suspect that will change dramatically. The offense couldn’t take advantage of, what, a 3rd string Charger nose tackle enough to establish a dominating ground game, or a decimated Packer defense to barely avoid getting shut out, what makes us think that Dallas will score on a consistent basis on Saturday? If the Cowboys fall behind early, there will be blood in the water and who knows how bad it could get.
That said, the Cowboys have the weapons to make it interesting. They’ll need at least 31 points to make it a game, probably more. And oddly enough, as much as it appears that the Saints are vulnerable to a ground attack and you want to control the clock, part of me wants Dallas to come out throwing every down and playing like they do the last few minutes of the last few games – with a sense of urgency that the season is on the line. And guess what? It is!
Go Cowboys!

The Saints were bigger underachievers than the Cowboys the past few years.
Great....
A player (Roy Williams) who has had plenty of games where he hasn’t shown up…..and plays on a team (our Cowboys) who if we are lucky show up for half a game….now thinks that if they just show up they will win against an undefeated team that plays their best in front of their rowdy and loud crowd who have all day to eat gumbo and get drunk.
We were not winning anyway….and now that he spout off at the mouth we will for sure not sneak up on them.

Cowboys record 97-92
Colts 130-59
Patriots 127-62
Those are the only 4 I looked at. Willing to be a lot more teams have better than us and the Saints (Eagles and Steelers come to mind)
Side note, Peyton Manning is rediculous. They have had 12+ wins every year since 2003, 10+ every year since 2002, and 10 or more all but 2 years since 1998. WOW!
Tough talk from a scrub reciever
This would have alot more credibility if it came from your #1 reciever Miles Austin or your QB or Demarcus Ware but come on Roy Williams that guy just sucks

He's gotten better. If he is considered a scrub,
then I hope the Saints D-Backs cover him like one.

Other than Sharper, they have to be among the very worst in the league.

Said it before and I'll state it again
I cant see the Cowboys losing this game. The Saints are over-rated and will be found out on Saturday. (Or Sunday)
The Knights season may have just ended, but the Cowboys year is just begining!

How can you expect that
when thats all they are doing now………………….Cowboys are in disarray, Jones looks suicidal, Phillips looks confused, Romo looks gay, and now Williams looks as though he’s scared. Records aside………………………I want Saints to demolish The Cowboys. I can’t stand the premadona team
Romo looks gay? Seriously?
Can’t you keep your homophobic remarks and made up statistics on your own blog?

seriously
with the contract Brees has, you would think he could afford to have that thing removed.
In Romo we Trust
OMG......LMAO!!..been thinking that for a long time...WTF is that fomation on his face anyway??
"Austin made the play, Austin saved the day" Brad Sham
Terry, I was half correct........
Brees had a birthmark that was removed a couple of years ago. He now has a scar from the birthmark removal.
really???
If I was him I’d sue his plastic surgeon for medical malpractice, looks horrible.
In Romo we Trust
from my limited knowledge on birthmarks.......
that’s why a lot of people don’t have them removed in the first place because they leave a scar. Brees comes from a very affluent family in Austin. His mother was a very powerful attorney in Westlake before she died. I said that to say, money is not the reason for not having the birth mark removed earlier.
lol!
I saw a dog today. Have you seen a dog? You probably have. How was school? Was it fun? Did you get a lot of homework? Huh? Do you have any friends? Do you have a best friend? Does he have a big coat, too?

if you're gonna call us premadonna at least get the spelling correct okay?
It’s spelled prima donna and the correct meaning is “first lady”.
Why can't this be seen in the opposite direction?
Is it possible that Roy is going through some mental gymnastics for himself? I mean Geez, he’s just repeating back what the media is trying to grind into his head, all the rest of the Cowboys head, and the whole freaking sports world: COWBOYS GONNA LOSE, HA, HA HA.
How do we expect any self respecting man to react to that? Slink away, and say ok, uncle. You’re right, there’s no reason for us to believe anything about ourselves at this point. We are crap. What the hell was I thinking, that we even have a smidge of a smidge’s chance to win. My bad.
C’mon, even Roy Williams the crappy scrub who shouldn’t even have ever crossed Jerry’s mind can be expected to take a beat down from the mediots before the game even starts.
GO ROY, YOU TELL IT BROTHER. You have the right, you been doin your part the last few games, no complaints from this fan.

I think people are reading into too much
what Roy said. He was being sarcastic and trying to be humorous.
yeah
and I happen to agree with him. If (and that’s a big if) we show up with a sense of urgency ( I mean attack from start to finish) we can win. We have to execute to perfection, no stupid penalties, etc. we have a good chance of winning. We can’t just show up flat and uninpired and expect to win.
the offense has to be clicking on all cylinders
I’m confident we can score 30-35 while holding them to 28-31. But youre right, all three phases need to play well.
In Romo we Trust
um.......
I wouldn’t go that far saying we can score 30-35 points. What makes me nervous about this game is the false starts because of the crowd noise in the dome. We like to jump pre-maturely anyway and so this is a tough challenge-especially Flo. Hopefully, Garrett is working on a lot of silent count stuff this week. I wouldn’t have Romo do too many audibles with this group (especially Flo) because they won’t be able to hear him.
I'll be shocked if we didn't score a lot of points
Their defense made Campbell and Redman look like all-pros and I know Romo is a much better qb than both of those guys.
In Romo we Trust
How much do you drink before you post?
Your response makes no sense.
One thing that Terry has on his side is that he is crystal clear within a post. I have tried reading terry’s post that you responded to in every way imaginable, upside down, backwards, mirror image, using a black light, and there is no reading in which “So did Tom Brady…….” makes any sense as a response.

Sean.....
I’ve been re-reading like you. Only conclusion I have come to is saint is saying that Tom Brady thought he was going to score a lot of points against the Saints too.
Yea I got that right away actually
I guess after someone tells you that their team that went 92-97 the past 12 years had the best win % in the NFL over that period….and that their 13 wins was the most ever for an NFC team…..
well after that, you expect things to be a little….off
funny how that works.......
BTW, I would be willing to get your namesake from Oakland in the off-season would you?
one big difference Terry.......
Campbell and Redman both played at home against the Saints. We’re playing them on their turf. I’m not saying that it can’t be done, but the Saints are much tougher at home. Good example would be the Pats.
Pats just played awful in that game
I’m not sold on the Superdome being that much of an advantage for the Saints, I think playing in a dome helps us as much as it helps them.
In Romo we Trust
I don't know about, you don't think the crowd noise won't affect Dallas' tendency to false start
Of course, the Cowboys getting an early lead would shut the crowd up, so let’s hope for that
Lifetime Cowboys Fan from the Swamps of Jersey
exactly
If we make enough plays on offense, the crowd noise shouldn’t be a factor and Flo false starts anyways with or without crowd noise.
In Romo we Trust
Aikman said that the Superdome
was one of the hardest places he had to play because of the noise. I think the crowd noise could be huge if we don’t get out to an early lead.
We now call it
THE HOUSE OF THE RISING SUN, get it ?? Cant see no stars when the sun’s up……………………………..
I don't get it.

neither do I, but I don't understand 2/3 of what he writes
Lifetime Cowboys Fan from the Swamps of Jersey
well, guess you might as well crown them NFC champs already
if nobody can beat then at home. As JJT would say, poppycock.
In Romo we Trust
can't speak for anyone else......
I’m not saying that the Saints can’t be beaten at home, but you have to realize the things that are going against you going in. The crowd noise is a problem-so you have to score early to take the crowd out. There’s nothing wrong with admitting that you have tough sledding. If you go in with blinders on thinking everythings going to be just fine, then you will get beat. it’s called preparation. You like to use the word execution. Well, if you want to execute, you have to be prepared for things like crowd noise. You have to alter your game plan and try something different-not the same old running plays that don’t work. How about throwing some little screens to Ogletree like we did in the past? As Herm Edwards said, You play to win the game and not to play to barely hang on and win.
I never said everything would be just fine
Never said that at all, I’m just saying that playing inside favors us as much as it favors them because weather will not be a factor. I understand crowd noise is a factor, but they’ve played before loud crowds before.
It’s just my opinion, but I think crowd noise in the NFL is overrated, these are pros and they know how to play under those conditions.
In Romo we Trust
Come on Terry don't quote quite possibly the worst journalist I've ever seen
I’m not saying they’re unbeatable, but for you to say the Superdome isn’t an advantage for them is just off.
Well we haven't scored an opening drive TD yet this year
Here’s to hoping that changes Saturday night…
Am I the only one that finds that stat unbelievable?
I mean how can you play 13 games and not score on an opening drive?
We've scored on the opening drive twice
Both Field Goals. First one week one against the Bucs and second this past week against the Chargers.
"We have to find a way to play better, there's no doubt. Overall. I'm not pointing fingers at anybody. Offense, defense, pitching -- we have to find a way to play better. The reality of this is, coming here to Pittsburgh and being swept -- personally, I feel embarrassed." -- Carlos Beltran
Yeah...
That really needs to change now…
If I had a nickel for every Super Bowl the Eagles have won, I would have zero nickels.
