[Pygmy Marmoset]

Wow. That's a who's yer daddy, eh? Kneeling when it won't even run out the clock. Ouch.

 

[tipsy mcstagger]

You know what's more embarassing than losing 49-17? Having your opponent down the ball with 3 minutes remaining.

 

[ATC1]

BP is saying, oh now you kneel. Should have done that a quarter ago.

 

[Marc Levin]

Fall of the Romo Empire is a great sign!

 

[bentley]

Quality "Who Dat?" chants. I think I'm about to start.

The cat was unimpressed by my effort.

 

[FantasyGuru#1]

so do they limit colsten next week as well.. or will he be back to his old self again!

 

[Xenopax]

RUN UP THE SCORERUN UP THE SCORERUN UP THE SCORE

I just need one more karney TD to win my playoff game, common!

i agree, that would piss me off more than being scored against again

2X

 

[Statorama]

I wouldn't mind running up the score in one of my other leagues and I have Carney, so I'll take the garbage FG.

Same here.

It was built on sand by the media. It was going to happen soon enough.

I'd agree with that. If Dallas cant stop them when they're running out the clock, you're showing them up even more by taking the knee.

 

[BGP]

I'm actually rather unimpressed with both of these teams tonite. With Dallas giving up 40+ points, it moves their defensive grade from good to questionable. For the Saints, their offense was never in question. They have strong offense. The question mark with the Saints has been their defense. They really don't shut teams down enough. They give up too many points. And that won't change by giving up another 17 (at least) here. The Saints stand a good chance of coming away from this game with worse defensive statistics than when they came in.

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.

Yes but you would agree that a reasonable margin for error when looking at statistics is to say that if you've given up more points than almost any of the 80 clubs that made it to the super bowl in NFL history, your defense should be questioned.

Same here.

I wonder if they'll kick the FG.

 

[redman]

Geez, guy, give him some time to see how it reacted to game one and maybe to see if he can PRACTICE this week before asking for guesses on next week.

Maybe parcells will send in Romo to Pass deep to ....fargin TO ETA Completely dethroned tonight,,,,,,,, :(

Nope. Carney owners are pissed.

I didn't need the 3 from Carney anyway,. but I like running up the score on my playoff opponents..

 

[Cowboys#1]

this was an embarassment

congrats to the saints though, they played great, whopped our ##### hopefully parcells can rally teh troops down the stretch and lead the team to the playoffs.. we'll need to play A LOT better, especially in the secondary to be successful but im optimistic.

 

[tipsy mcstagger]

Just giving it back to them...LOFL

 

[flapgreen]

LOL @ Michaels/Madden dismissing the Bears as the best team because "it's all been defense" even though they have at least 2 and soon to be 3 more wins.

 

[Statorama]

I'd agree with that. If Dallas cant stop them when they're running out the clock, you're showing them up even more by taking the knee.

You know, if I were on the other side of this equation, I'd appreciate the knee.

 

[Lambert]

so do they limit colsten next week as well.. or will he be back to his old self again!

I'm guessing Colston would have stayed in longer tonight if the Saints hadn't wrapped up the game so quickly. Unless there's something we don't know about, I'd expect Colston to be back at close to 100% next week.

 

[harvnlenny]

Playoff game in my league:

Team 1 has Deuce and Team 2 has Brees

Team 1 is trailing by .2 when NO decides to start kneeling the ball. Brees kneels an entire series for a total of -6 yards and Team 1 takes the lead by .3

Neither team has anyone left so kneeling the ball will end up causing Team 2 to lose. Anyone else have a playoff game decided by this.

 

[ATC1]

So what does Parcells do now, kneel and take the whooping, or try to air it out?

 

[tipsy mcstagger]

I heard screaming from Cooters at the restaurant earlier.

 

[bentley]

My league's been around since 1995, and I'm having trouble finding a bigger game in the record book than Brees had tonight. Can anybody else think of one?

 

[dgreen]

 

[cowboyz]

wow, someone actually had a mike karney sign

Huh? This is a dominating performance by the Saints. Calling it anything else is simply foolish.

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.

Now you've got him started. If you ignore BGPs once a game driveby, he'll go away.

Whatever dude. I really don't care if I have an ounce of credibility with people that post crap like that. Like I say, if I ran this place, I'd just start permanently banning people like you for that sort of crap until it stops. Period.

QB for the Dallas Cowboys is one of those jobs that the media folk look for reasons to pimp. I have Romo on my dynasty team and respect his abilities, but he was already overexposed after only five weeks on the job.

 

[Couch Potato]

I wonder what the league record is for consecutive kneeldowns by two teams? This 5 in a row might be it!

Too little too late for my interests (after that Deuce run).So, I'm back to thinking TO suz.Talk about coming up small - and in the same week you blow off a champ. speech from your coach to go get f'ed up in L.A. for your B-Day.

 

[tipsy mcstagger]

Clinton Portis scored our league high a few years back. 60 points for the guy WHO HAD HIM ON BENCH

 

[Jeff Pasquino]

are they limiting colsten tonight.. Iv'e seen him in and out fo the lineup...

Yes, they are limiting Colston.I think they were just letting him test the ankle in a gametime situation

and they are limiting him, but about his ankle. He's been limited since his cramping up just before halftime, unrelated to the ankle.Good news is that he's likely to be a full go for next week.

Parcells told Payton- "Good Job."That was classy. Wonder what he'll say to his team???Sean Payton = Coach of the Year!

Most happy I didn't allow myself to be sold on Romo during his hot streak - made a key trade for Hass to offset what I felt might be Romo's crash.

Sure thing. The "BGP Effect" is well known by a bunch of folks. If one guy say a hundred people have a problem or if a hundred people say one guy has a problem, what's the most likely scenario?

Gonna be a great flight home for the black and gold.

I forgot about that game. I was just looking at QBs. Sucks for that guy.

 

[Statorama]

I don't want it to get lost in all this, but I just wanted to echo something that Michaels said. Having a fireworks halftime show indoors is just stupid.

Good call. Although Texas Stadium technically isn't indoors.
