Who Dat Nation hopes Saints can put together 10 or 11 in a row



1-4 sure feels a lot better than 0-5, which is what a lot of Saints fans were fearing, at least up until Martez Wilson stripped San Diego Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers in the backfield and fell on the ball to seal the win for New Orleans.

When you don't get your first win until October, you bet it fells good.

"Oh, go Saints, finally!" one fan said this morning.

"It felt real good," said another.  "The difference is so easy."

So now, the question is, can the Saints put together a good winning streak?

"Goin' to the Super Bowl, we're gonna bring the Super Bowl home," on Who Dat told WWL First News.  "We got to get on a ten-game win streak here."

"I would hope they could do that for sure," another one said. "I would like to see them go in the playoffs."

And how long can Drew Brees keep throwing touchdown passes in consecutive games?

"Forever," was one answer.

"I don't see it happening where he's going to break the streak, unless he gets injured," said another fan.  

Brees' 48 regular season games in a row with at least one touchdown pass beat a 52-year-old record held by Hall of Famer Johnny Unitas.  The only other active quarterback anywhere close is New England's Tom Brady, who has connected for a touchdown in 37 consecutive games.
