This thread will be pinned once we're under way.

If you see something happening, please describe the play instead of eg "WOW".

Please describe more of what you see, things that will help other fantasy owners eg Player X is seeing loads of targets, Player Y is running the ball with authority today etc

Remember, not all of us are watching your game.

 
Jags have come out with 6 consecutive pass plays to start the game, very some success as they've made first downs on the first 3 of those plays.

 
Looks like the Saints are going with a heavy rotation at the RB position. So far in the Saints 3 running plays, Thomas, Sproles, and Ingram all have 1 run.

 
So... the arrows next to the yard markers are pointing the wrong way on one side of the field. How does that happen? Reminds of the Snickers 'Chefs' commercial

 
So naturally when it's goal line situation, it is Collins that gets the short yardage touchdown. Saints lead 7-0.

Yeah I noticed that too when Karim took the opening kickoff to his own 20, it looked like it was marked the Saints 20.
 
Mike Thomas makes a 55 yard catch and run on 3rd and long from deep in the Jags end. It was his career longest reception.

 
The real problem is that those miss painted markers are on the short side of the field to the camera, so we are going to be seeing them a lot more than if they were on he far side of the field.

 
Mark Ingram catches the ball out of the flat gets meet for 1 yard gain and then pumps his legs to fight for more, but is driven to the back of the endzone 15 yards pass the LOS by a CB.

 
TE Jimmy Graham is getting a lot of targets. He has caught atleast 3 of his 4 targets. His first two went for first downs on short yardage. Brees has also tried to go long to Graham on a play where he was double covered by the Jags.

 
In goal line situation again, Brees on a playaction pass throws it to Graham for the TD. Saints lead 14-0 after going 96 yards on a 12 play drive.

 
so....twice they are at goal to go and Ingram doesn't get a sniff? Frustrated owner right here. hopefully they get up early and grind it out with him. Otherwise I think you gotta start benching him.

 
Gabbert has played a decent game so far, but the Jags are using a lot of playaction passes for him, and I get it because the Jags are a run first team, but the Jags have yet to establish the run game today.

 
Gabbert throws a bullet of a pass to backup TE Zach Miller for a 14 yard TD! The Jags cut the Saints lead down to 14-7.

Can someone tell me why Karim is getting all the friggin carries over MJD??

My first guess would be because the Jags are splitting out MJD out as a WR in a lot of plays so he might be getting tired running WR routes, whereas on most pass plays he would be in to block for Gabbert.
 
John Kasay is wide right from 53 yards. Saints continue to lead 14-7 with about 5 minutes left in the first half.

 
Scobee is good from 31 yards out. Saints lead is now 14-10. Jags unable to move the ball on 3 straight passes.

 
Kasay is good from 38 yards out, Saints up their lead to 17-10. Big play by Austin Lane to get the sack on Brees on 3rd and 3 to force the field goal attempt.

 
Kasay is good from 39 yards, taking the Saints lead to 20-10. The Saints are able to move the ball into the Jags territory but then the Jags are able to bring the rush and put pressure on Brees. Last time they got he sack, this time they were able to hit him as he threw the ball and it fell short of it's intended target.

 
Jags defense has been surprisingly effective in forcing the Saints to settle for 3. Mincey and Lane have provided a spark in the pass rush.

 
Ingram gets a first down by the nose of the football on 4th and 1 from the Saints 47 yard line. It was second effort because it initially looked like the Jags had blown up that play.

 
Saints 3rd goal line situation results in Thomas being stuffed on 2nd down. On third down Brees should have been picked off. The Jags hold the Saints to another Kasay field goal. Saints 2nd half ball control offense has staked them to a 23-10 lead.

 
Gabbert continues to struggle, going 0-8 with an interception. This is at a time when he Jags now have to throw the ball because they are down by 13 points with about 11 minutes left in he 4th quarter. Jags have only been able to run 10 plays in the 2nd half.

 
Jaguars defense makes another big play as the Saints get into Jags territory. Brees is intercepted as the Jags play a game of tip drill to get he turnover.

 
After 10 straight incompletions, Gabbert completes his first pass of the 2nd half. Five minutes left in the 4th quarter.

 
Graham continues to have a monster game. Brees to Graham for 59 yards, 10 catches for 132 yards and 1 TD.

Kasay is wide right for the second time on a long field goal attempt. Kasay has missed from 50 and 53 yards.

 
I remember back in the day when New Orleans had a WR named Devery Henderson. He used to catch passes and stuff. I miss those days.

 
Make the final score Saints 23 Jaguars 10. Thumbs up to Brees and his 350+ yards passing, Graham 100+ yards receiving and a TD, Sproles had a big game. On the Jags side, the defense played well holding the Saints to field goals in the 2nd half.
