The first down marker was on the other side of the yard stripe. That's why he could say that without a measurement.Cross the line - measure. Don't cross, no need. That's why you don't measure at the 30 and an inch line after a touchback - they only have to break the 30.
Sombody is gonna get screwed. :(
Drew Brees has already killed my season, and I went into the game with a 50 point lead.
17 more yards and it'll be the biggest comeback engineered by one player in our league's 10 year history. 
13 quarters to go......doesn't he still have a shot at 5000 yards?
not the call itself, the way they are explaining them..I may have missed the measurement, but how did he figure they were 3 inches short?TannerBoyle said:
An unbelievable situation -- how can you possibly pick between these two guys?Co-MVP's would be just fine with me.
Dont laaugh - he'll be over 400 yards in this game. Who is to say he can't do that 2x more?
Just go ahead and crown their ###![/Dennis Green]It looks like the Saints will be the media's new favorite NFC team.
good catch, I didn't notice that detail
...I've just never seen that kind of judgement call before that I can recallYou laugh, but I'm not sure I bet against Brees averaging 333 yards over the next three games.

They should have measured. If its inside a foot he shouldn't know for sure, especially 3 inches? I'll leave the 3 inch jokes to someone else.TannerBoyle said:
I misread. I thought you said the 4th quarter to go.Dont laaugh - he'll be over 400 yards in this game. Who is to say he can't do that 2x more?
Absolutely. He's averaging over 300 yards/game this year. He'd get very close to 5000 just playing the way he has been. And if he's just now getting hot, getting into real game shape after surgery recovery, he's got a real chance. It'd be completely insane to have the TD record get completely smashed and have Marino's yardage record go down in the same year.
I need a bit more for one team to complete the same thing in my main $$ league.Team started off down 111 (+Deuce) to 57 (+Brees/TO) before the game - they are now at 117 to 105. A whole quarter for TO to catch a TD and 55 yards to get that team the win.Drew Brees has already killed my season, and I went into the game with a 50 point lead.
That's ok, at least you didn't broadcast it like Al did. Now he gets to wear thegood catch, I didn't notice that detail
"after the break".
What does that say for NFL defenses? Its the no touchy the QB rule.
They are what they are. The '99 Rams defense was pretty mediocre but you wouldn't have known it given that every opponent seemed to be trailing by 3 TD's after the 1st quarter, allowing the Rams to play defense against offenses forced to throw. The Saints aren't quite that good on offense but they do seem to follow that formula for success and they appear to be playing their best football of the year right now, and they're getting better as they go.
Probelm is with two wins and another Colts loss, LT sits week 17.
Take away the long run and it's not a bad job by the Saints D. They are even playing prevent defense rather well.
Some positive yards out of Barber would be nice too.Well, I need some garbage yards/TD's from Romo to win my playoff game, so . . .
They have to talk about something. I don't get it at all either.
No, its a dominating offensive performance. They need to show improvement on defense and a high-scoring affair doesn't do that. They still look too soft to me.Huh?This is a dominating performance by the Saints. Calling it anything else is simply foolish.
BP always makes it a point not to embarrass the other team because he doesn't like when it's done to him, so i'm pretty sure he'll remember this
So what? He's already got the record. If he gets two more over the next two weeks, you're still talking about beating the TD record by three. That's a huge number.
Now you've got him started. If you ignore BGPs once a game driveby, he'll go away.No, its a dominating offensive performance. They need to show improvement on defense and a high-scoring affair doesn't do that. They still look too soft to me.Huh?
After that one breakaway run to open the game, the Saintds have given up 10 points and generated key TOs.BGP, you are a unique individual.No, its a dominating offensive performance. They need to show improvement on defense and a high-scoring affair doesn't do that. They still look too soft to me.Huh?
