OK we get the ball first....the Saints are not as good as the score says ...nor are we as bad as the score says....now its time for things to bounce our way. Come out swinging....keep it to the run with Bradshaw...and quick slants as Eli sees Sharper in his sleep....no slow developing pass plays please and we might make a game of it.

The Saints are as good as the score says, but you're right, we're not as bad as the score says. Glad to see all the 'experts' jump off the Gmen's bandwagon. Like night and fucking day. Good, we'll just play better. Cheerleader, out.

[CrazedDogs]

it's no different than "the catch" in the superbowl. Ball was pinned against the helmet and called a catch.

this "fumble" was pinned and no longer moving. Not a fumble.

We're just getting beat.

That is all.

 

But that ball didn't move until well after he was down. Its not the same at all.

[rphguy]

Any way you want to look at it, The Saints would beat anybody today.

Brees has too many weapons.

And, if not the best in the league, he's in the top 3 at least.

 

I would say Shockey is hurting us real bad today too, but if Shockey didn't catch those balls someone else would have.

 

Our offense isn't playing that horribly, actually would be winning against at least 25 teams in the league right now.

It's just that the Saints offense is just that good.

 

S.Moss should just be cut today. During half-time. If Hixon goes down again, let Chris Snee return kicks.

 

If not for the Manning fumble, we had a chance. If we could have held them to 3, we had a chance. I dont think we do now.

 

well, at least the Saints are my 2nd or 3rd favorite team. It'd be worse if this were Dallas, Philadelphia, New England, or San Diego. (last 2 would be a Super Bowl loss)

Could be what the team needs.

[Mr. P]

Now we'll see how good Bill Sheridan is. You judge a D coordinator by the adjustments he makes at halftime.

The ball moved out of his hand yes, but he still hand control of it when it was pinned against his arm/pads. It wasnt moving around when he had it pinned under his arm until he hit the ground and he would be considered down then before the ball came out.

[Treehugger]

Fuck even if the refs didnt call those iffy calls we would still be loosing, this is fucking embarrassing.

17 to 20, not 17 to 34.

Tyree never had the catch pulled in. It was caught against his helmet.

Saints guy had the ball, the ball moved, then quit moving as it was pinned against the body. It was not a fumble. call was right. If they call that a fumble, there's gonna be a lot more fumbles in this league.

[Sephiroth]

We're not winning this game unless New Orleans beats themselves. I hate to say it but it's true.

[NeMesiS]

damn...

[rphguy]

17 to 20, not 17 to 34.

I just logged on at half-time. been watching the game, though.

What "iffy" calls are you guys referring to?

Bollox, the ball was moving before he hit the ground, he didn't have control.

[NeMesiS]

OMG.............

[Sephiroth]

Refs are hosing us today.

[Virginia Giant]

For the love of Christ just get the first down. We don'yt need quick score, we need time consuming drives.

[Treehugger]

Apparently PI rules have completely changed too.

[GorillaNJ]

worst call i have ever seen

[njsmalls]

So how many more exploding knees until we're not a contender anymore? Losing Kareem is HUGE.

[rphguy]

We're not winning this game unless New Orleans beats themselves. I hate to say it but it's true.

it;ll take some INTs and/or some fumbles our way for us to win.

[Sephiroth]

Never realized when a DB runs into you it's a pick play. Somebody shoulda told that to the 90's Cowboys.

[TaylorBanksCarsonVanPelt]

Apparently PI rules have completely changed too.

 

 

The last time I heard....a WR was allowed to run his route unmolested after 5 yards....then its illegal contact on the defense....Hock-A-Crew strikes again....lol

[BlueInCanada]

Honestly we loose anymore we will be lucky to have a starting team when the playoffs roll around.

[NeMesiS]

Wow, I must admit...that was a terrible call. C'mon D stop them.

[CrazedDogs]

Oh man, but I've seen it called that way so many times though...I can't remember a time that it wasn't.

 

Like I said the first time, it seems like a fair call...but by the book, its not right.

[Sephiroth]

NO pass rush. NONE.
