think brees is now simply in there to go for the record?

He's slinging it out there. Up 35-7, I'm not sure how classy this is.

Who cares? Keep slinging it, Drew!

 

[Warhound]

Another Brees TD. the fantasy football gods are showing me some love now.

Hard to tell, considering it's not even the 4th quarter. We'll see if Brees is done at 310/2. Good thing so many gave up on good numbers from him early on this game, huh?

 

[PatrickT]

Another Brees td. If only he'd stop throwing to Colston and start throwing to Thomas Moore.

Fixed

 

[AnonymousBob]

Definitely stat-padding now.

I'm all for it. Just don't do it with Colston.

 

[Mt. Man]

Nice work by crew: announcers where talking about Detroit's QB (or lack thereof) situation, and cameras panned to Stanton, Henson & Culpepper.

 

[KingEl]

Brees could get 400 yds easily at this pt-- 310 3rd quart and completing passes with ease... They are up so big--- will the Payton pull Brees back now- or let it fly with the yardage record getting set up to be in reach next week??

Seems like if they continue to throw- it's the Patriots style of blowout from last year that got so much criticism.. Might make them look bad..

On the other hand-- it's a major record- and Brees and Payton say they want it.

 

[WiDDoW_MaKeR]

So, I guess they are definitely resting Thomas for next years preseason then.

 

[bluesclues]

Get Pierre back in the darn game!

 

[King of the Jungle]

Is Calvin done?

 

[AnonymousBob]

Just throw jump balls to Calvin.

 

[PlasmaDogPlasma]

Down 35 and punt on 4th and 3. Marenelli should be banned from coaching at any level ever again.

You can tell this is a fantasy football board solely based on the fact that the saints and detroit thread is 2 pages longer than the titans and steelers one

 

[Mt. Man]

Heh. I almost forgot that Joey Harrington is still with the Saints. NO should definitely bring him in during the 4th, just to rub salt in the wound(/womb).

 

[Man in the yellow hat]

So, I guess they are definitely resting Thomas for next years preseason then.

Yes, WTF? Mike Bell? Give me PIERRE!

 

[brutha]

Heh. I almost forgot that Joey Harrington is still with the Saints. NO should definitely bring him in during the 4th, just to rub salt in the wound(/womb).

So they finally pulled Brees?

 

[Anthony Borbely]

Unreal.

 

[Desert_Power]

NO is really killing Pierre's long term value today.

 

[AnonymousBob]

Down 35 and punt on 4th and 3. Marenelli should be banned from coaching at any level ever again.

And why is he not throwing to Calvin?

 

[King of the Wolfies]

i need some Moore love....pun intended

 

[Mt. Man]

Heh. I almost forgot that Joey Harrington is still with the Saints. NO should definitely bring him in during the 4th, just to rub salt in the wound(/womb).

Not yet. Since this game was over well before halftime, it's easy to forget that they're just starting the 4th quarter.I wouldn't be surprised at seeing Brunell, unless the passing record does matter. And maybe Stanton, though, you know, he might be embarrassing....

Math down? We're about to double the page count.

 

[Mt. Man]

Detroit actually stops one of the Saints' drives due to a Thomas fumble.

 

[Anthony Borbely]

The Saints are 10/10 on 3rd downs.

 

[Mt. Man]

Stanton in the game.

 

[Anthony Borbely]

Calvin is injured.

TEN/PIT thread = 3 pagesNO/DET thread = 5 pages3+2=5

 

[brutha]

More embarrassing than Culpepper or 'ski? Anything is possible w/the Lions but I don't think he has enough time left in the game to prove that.

 

[Ripleys]

Calvin is injured.

F U D G E!!!!!!!! Not returning? What happened?

 

[Mt. Man]

Calvin is injured.

Announcers said it might be "an executive decision". However, you'd have to trust that announcers who've struggled to get names right are correct, and that the Lions' brass is capable of making such a choice.

 

[Woogie Lee]

Calvin is injured.

 

[Mt. Man]

Kevin Smith breaks the 100 yard mark for the 2nd time this year (and thus his career).

ETA: Sideline announcer says Calvin is sitting due to "coaching decision", but also wonders if Johnson's right ankle isn't bothering him.

 

[Anthony Borbely]

Calvin is injured.

F U D G E!!!!!!!! Not returning? What happened?

Ankle injury, unlikely to return.

[Mt. Man]

Brees & Thomas still in. Stay classy, Saints.

 

[BobbyLayne]

Brees still throwing passes with less than 6 minutes left (screens, but still...).

 

[Ghost Rider]

Very stupid of the Saints to still be throwing the ball all over the place when leading by 35 this late in the game. And all for a record that isn't that special.

 

[HornedOne]

Geez, Deuce getting the garbage carries too. This sux.

 

[King of the Wolfies]

NO = NE west

 

[QuizGuy66]

C'mon Lions call time out so NO gets mad and kicks a FG!

 

[protoslacker]

.... And all for a record that isn't that special.

Tell that to Marino.

 

[Mt. Man]

And Detroit sets the record by going 0-15! History should be made next week, even if the Pack will only be playing for pride.

 

[QuizGuy66]

Okay Brees is finally out of the game...

 

[Maik Jeaunz]

why stupid? it's a record that's 20+ years old, and they have a legitimate shot to break it. if anyone feels sorry for the Lions, well maybe they should try fielding a competitive team.what's stupid is that if they were gonna go for the record, then just go for it. Drew could easily have had 450 yards if they just would have stopped running in the second half. the Lions weren't coming back no matter what, so if they really wanted the record, they should have gone for it. Sean Payton's curious playcalling strikes again...
