Big game for both teams. NO has to get a win here to maintain their playoff hopes. Between that and they bye week I'm worried. We need to control the clock with Turner and keep Brees on the sideline.

:(

 

[timschochet]

I'm looking for big games from Turner and Shockey.

 

[R Dizzle]

That was quick lol.

 

[timschochet]

Wow. Horrible start for Brees. Ill advised pass.

 

[McBokonon]

Drew Brees with a bad decision for the pick.

Colston was out there on that first play with Henderson, though. Looks like he was the technical starter.

 

[R Dizzle]

WOOO! TD Roddy!!

 

[AAABatteries]

Roddy! Great throw by Matty Ice (hate that nickname btw). Great start for Atlanta.

 

[AAABatteries]

Nice stop - it's obvious Atlanta is going to sit back and make the Saints move the ball down the field and not give up the big plays. Could be a big game for Deuce after it's all said and done.

 

[lyon812]

Colston looking viable. Was targeted in end zone, had it for a second, but was knocked away. That's 3 or 4 targets already..

 

[AAABatteries]

Ryan's arm strength is tremendous. That was a long throw for just a 5 yard out and he put it on a line.

It has been a bad week for the church.

Atlanta is going up and down the field on the saints.

 

[AAABatteries]

Yes! Turner cleans up after the Ryan to Jenkins long pass play. With the way the Saints are crowding the line I predict a long Turner run at some point during this game.

 

[lefteye]

Is Shockey in the game?

 

[EdwardCat]

Brees is nothing without Bush.

 

[Truman]

Is Shockey in the game?

If he is he hasn't had a look yet.

 

[AAABatteries]

Horrible. Fox announcer just compared the Falcons offense to Texas Tech!

 

[AAABatteries]

Just caught a pass - first of the game.

 

[timschochet]

Hey Brees. You got this big tight end with good hands that your team paid a lot of money to obtain. They didn't pay all that money for him to block. Just something you might want to consider...please?

You think he heard me?

 

[mcintyre1]

Why did Pierre Thomas end up in the doghouse? I can't believe that McAllister/Stecker fill the receiving back role better than Thomas.

 

[lyon812]

Colston would be 4-72 in the first half if not for that hold.

I think the speculation on his role in the offense can be put to rest.

 

[Chunky Soup]

Why not go for FG?

 

[AAABatteries]

Okay, Ryan is unbelievable right now, but how about the defense! VanGorder (sp?) deserves a lot of accolades for what he has done with the defense. Other than Abraham, there's not a lot of talent on that side of the ball - or at least that was the thought.

 

[lyon812]

Man, Colston's like three feet taller than Chris Houston.

 

[EdwardCat]

Does Brees look as terrible as NFL.com shows him to be?

 

[jabarony]

Punt for 0 yds? What happened?

 

[AnonymousBob]

Colston doing his best JJ Stokes impression.

Where Deuce in the game? Injured or just ineffective?

 

[CaptainHucklebuck]

Actually punted to the ATL 31, not the NO 31.

yes.. I would like to know as well

Sean Payton is coaching. Deuce is in the game, uninjured, and reasonably effective. He's just not getting carries.

How is this a response to what I said?

 

[CaptainHucklebuck]

Doesn't look great - he's underthrowing, usually to the wrong shoulder.

 

[EdwardCat]

Saints are a truly bad team.

 

[lyon812]

Saints are a truly bad team.

"Truly bad" should be reserved for the Rams.

 

[R Dizzle]

Mike McKenzie being carted off the field.

Translation?

 

[EdwardCat]

Wow...simply wow. Brees is utterly horrible today. As I said earlier, he is a worthless QB without Reggie Bush.

 

[AAABatteries]

Well, he definitely hasn't played well, but Atlanta's defense is playing some inspired ball. Abraham has pressured him all game and the Saint receivers aren't getting much separation.

 

[R Dizzle]

Yeah, just showed him blaming Shockey for mistakes..

 

[AAABatteries]

Norwood to the house! Ryan screen pass and Norwood takes it 66 yards! No high-stepping please Jerious - we had Neon Deion and everything else is just a cheap imitation. In addition, it's stupid and you almost got caught.

 

[EdwardCat]

Time for another 3 and out for Brees.

Hands of stone.

Unbelievable defensive effort from Atlanta. I recognize a weakend NO team without Bush, but Foxworth has been a huge difference maker in this game. Between him and Abraham, they've shut down the NO pass attack. Quite an accomplishment from what even I thought was a sub par secondary.

This just pretty much shows that Brees is not as good as people think he is.

I disagree with this. Everyone has a down day and the ATL secondary HAS improved with each week. I don't think they're this good OR that Brees is that bad.

 

[AnonymousBob]

And Brees is starting to look like Brees...too late to win the game but he's starting to look good.

 

[EdwardCat]

Game over. Atlanta will get the ball back and simply run the clock out.

Edit to say: nevermind.

 

[Oof!]

Colston in there? Haven't seen his name on the updates (and clearly don't get the game on tv).
