This thread will be bumped near kickoff and pinned once it does

 

[Andy Hicks]

bump

 

[Statorama]

There was some talk in the Bush thread about the condition of the field, but it looks good.

 

[Statorama]

**** Stockton sure has a face for radio.

edit: one other TV note, I liked the use of "The Flight of the Conchords" as bumper music

 

[Statorama]

Foster opened as the starter in the backfield for Carolina, McKenzie seems to have single coverage on Steve Smith

edit: Looks like they are targeting Smith early, with two short passes on the first drive (both incompletions batted away by McKenzie)

 

[swirvenirvin]

2 targets for Smith

mckenzie made nice plays on both of him, at least it looks like he is in the game plan

 

[Fols]

Bush not starting, but in now.

 

[Statorama]

Bush not starting, but in now.

Looks like they're going to use him more in the slot today, hopefully limiting some of the wear and tear on him.

 

[Statorama]

Yikes, the Saints D is going to keep McKenzie on the left side of the defense regardless of where Smith lines up. This means a LONG day for Jason David.

 

[swirvenirvin]

another pass to smith being challenged right now by Fox as a catch

 

[Statorama]

Refs made the right call. Smith's knee landed out of bounds.

 

[Statorama]

Saints line opening up some some good holes for the running game.

 

[Statorama]

Pretty bad spot on the ball for that Stecker run. I'd challenge this if I was Payton.

Edit: from another angle, they would have lost the challenge.

 

[Statorama]

Both teams with costly illegal formation penalties (OL not lining up on the line of scrimmage)

 

[Cowtippers]

Put Matt Moore in PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He can't be worse than Carr

 

[bollocks28]

I'll get this out way... paging Mr. Colston???

 

[Tiger Fan]

Not news to anyone, but Jason David is AWFUL. He looked like a little girl running from a swarm of bees trying to defend that last pass.

 

[The_Waterboy]

Put Matt Moore in PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!He can't be worse than Carr

amen to that!fox is way too conservative...he needs to give moore a chance

 

[Statorama]

Does he fall down on EVERY play?

 

[jamil]

How long until Carr gets his 1st completion?

 

[Onions]

How long until Carr gets his 1st completion?

Week 14.

 

[Bad_Mo]

what's up with colston? any targets?

 

[The_Waterboy]

How long until Carr gets his 1st completion?

miracles can happen....sooner or later smith will catch it no matter how bad the throws are

usually just for an excuse for getting burned I think

 

[Statorama]

what's up with colston? any targets?

Not that I've seen, and they've been spreading it around.

 

[Statorama]

That Aaron Stecker sure has a nose for the one-yard line.

TD Lance Moore!

 

[awesomeness]

why is stecker getting the majority of teh carries? That guy has nothing on bush i dont get it.

 

[The_Waterboy]

shocker..

carr int...

overthrown, not even close

 

[togo]

Put Matt Moore in PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!He can't be worse than Carr

Does Carr look as bad in live as it seems on sportsline??

 

[McBokonon]

I'm beginning to think this David Carr fella might not be very good.

 

[swirvenirvin]

Smith out on sidelines walking around

 

[omally]

I'm beginning to think this David Carr fella might not be very good.

I have no idea who his target even was on that interception.

 

[omally]

Does Carr look as bad in live as it seems on sportsline??

yes

 

[The_Waterboy]

Put Matt Moore in PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!He can't be worse than Carr

Does Carr look as bad in live as it seems on sportsline??

yes..he holds on to the ball too long...passes are not accurate...and he doesn't even attempt to allude a sack, he crumbles at the sound of a defensive player within 5 feet...its a shame, i thought it was a good pickup this offseason b/c houston's o-line was horrible...not the case..he's terrible

I think anyone watching Carr this year has been watching the end of a career.

 

[swirvenirvin]

Steve smith back in

 

[Young 8]

Smitty back IN

 

[FavreCo]

I'm beginning to think this David Carr fella might not be very good.

I knew it 4 years ago.

 

[FavreCo]

I think anyone watching Carr this year has been watching the end of a career.

When did it actually start? This game is fun to watch.

 

[omally]

its a shame, i thought it was a good pickup this offseason b/c houston's o-line was horrible...not the case..he's terrible

Amen to that

 

[Carr 2 Smith]

Smith needs to learn how to catch.

 

[omally]

Smith needs to learn how to catch.

He just looked pretty good to me.

 

[Young 8]

Smith needs to learn how to catch.

what the hell are you talking about ???

 

[Young 8]

CARR is the worst QB ever.......EVER

WHAT A JOKE

a 5yds old kid could throw better.......ARE YOU KIDDING ME ???????????????

 

[Tiger Fan]

What was the crowd chanting before the FG? Something about Matt Moore? I couldn't make it out.

 

[mbuehner]

As lousy as Carr is, they are running plays inside the 10 that dont target guys in the endzone. What is Smith doing a drag across the formation at the 5 for? Thats bad play calling. You MUST take a shot at the endzone.

 

[The_Waterboy]

i think the crowd is finally letting fox have it...i think i just heard a very loud matt moore chant from the crowd..

lets hope someone puts eyedrops in carr's water during halftime...

 

[Young 8]

What was the crowd chanting before the FG? Something about Matt Moore? I couldn't make it out.

"we want Moore"

 

[Statorama]

Patten doesn't drop many of those, but that was an ugly drop.

 

[Lord Lucan]

Is that "We want Moore" the Panthers fans are chanting? Fox seems to think it's "we want more" and is keeping Carr in...
