I have to admit I was no fan of Garcia when he came to Tampa... but I am going to eat hat and say i was wrong, the guy is a gamer and can run this offense VERY well.

 

[Ike Turner]

Saints fans, you may not want to hear this, but this is exactly what your team needs. It's understandable if you suck vs the Colts, who are an incredible team. But to lose to a bunch of scrubs like the Bucs will really lead the Saints to pull together.

GEEZ!! This reminds me of Michigan's first 2 games.

Really? Reminded me more of Notre Dame.

Well....either one really.

 

[Arnold. S]

well it's official, start receivers against the Saints

I've always been a fan of Garcia. Very underrated qb. Everyone sucks in Cleveland.

If the Saints were playing Appalachian State next week the Mountaineers would be a decent favorite.

Simply terrible.

 

[Mister CIA]

Thoughts on Caddy anyone?

16 attempts + 33 yards +2 TDs = Sell high.

 

[MarshallRob]

My God the Saints are bad. If your a Brees owner, start to get real worried..If your not a Brees owner, might be a nice buy low candidate..

I gotta say, this is nothing about how well their opponents have played, it's all about how badly the Saints have played.

I don't agree. Saints are making mistakes but the Bucs are dominating. Hard-hitting defense and perfect strikes from Garcia.

 

[Mister CIA]

Which Tennessee WR do you want to start next week?

 

[Mister CIA]

Patten to the 11.

Saving the TD for somebody on my roster.

 

[MarshallRob]

David Patten = Unstoppable

 

[Mister CIA]

Colston to 5.

 

[Mister CIA]

Colston to about 1.5.

I'll stick with the "Saints would make Charlie Batch look like a Hall of Famer" theory.

 

[Ike Turner]

If I'm the Saints coach here, I call back to back plays in the huddle. If 3rd and 1 fails, we go right back to the line with play #2 in a hurry up offense.

 

[Mister CIA]

Brees sneaks for first down, to the 1 yard line.

 

[Mister CIA]

Karney TD. ####

 

[FreeBaGeL]

Looked like Bush was in on 1st down. I'd imagine that if it weren't 1st and goal they would've challenged.

 

[MarshallRob]

Bush stopped at the one. Carney vultures TD on next play.

 

[Hellfire Snail]

Karney TD. ####

F'ing figures.

 

[wilked]

lmao

 

[Anonymous Internet User]

wow, Deuce doesn't even sniff the ball in the red zone ... and not even on 1st and goal from the 1 !

they give it to Bush ?!

and then Karney ?!

Yep, horrible coaching.Oh, wait.

Everytime they've given it to Karney this game they've had some measure of success. Let's see if they learn something from that.

 

[Ike Turner]

At least it gets easier next week against the Titans...oh wait...

 

[Sand]

OK - last straw. Refs just took 5 full yards off of that punt. Landed out of bounds at the 25. Should be marked at the 26 or better. The 22? OMFG you have to be kidding me.

 

[Ike Turner]

WTMFF? Brees could have run for 20 yards there on that incompletion.

 

[FreeBaGeL]

Wow on that 3rd and 5 Brees was rolling out and had a guy wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiide open literally right in front of him rolling with him. How did he miss that?

 

[WookieBooger]

Are you saying the Refs are calling the Game in favor of the Bucs?

 

[Ike Turner]

This is incredibly frustrating. The Saints coordinators have to be able to see what I'm seeing, so I'm incredulous that they won't take what the defense is giving them. The Saints have convinced themselves that they are the Colts, and other teams have to bow down to their awesome offensive gameplan.

Not that the Bucs need any help, but the awful missed holding on the last Buc TD was a game changer.I think it has more to do with incompetence. Shame the Saints are the ones getting jobbed, though.

 

[MarshallRob]

Brees misses another wide open WR.

Then he hits Patten who drops it on 4th down.

Patten's body language leads me to believe he feared taking a hit.

 

[the spanker]

Guys where is Eric Johnson? Is he hurt????

 

[shakeybarn]

Laughable... not meant to be Saints. At least this half.

Nor this whole game... TB wow. And given Indy's performance... so much for the "statement" Indy made on the opener... looks like anyone can whack the Aints.

 

[shakeybarn]

One more to Galloway would be nice, but unrealistic.

 

[Gargoylez]

Caddy news... is he done for the day?

 

[Ike Turner]

"hello....hello...hello"

My impression of me on the Saints bandwagon

 

[MarshallRob]

Caddy news... is he done for the day?

Looks like it.

 

[shakeybarn]

Well.. the Saints will always have 2006 to look back on. Remember that year... good times.

 

[WookieBooger]

Is tampa in a prevent D?

 

[MarshallRob]

Colston gets the cosmetic TD on a quick out. Bush had a carry on first down but got tackled from behind.

 

[MarshallRob]

Caddy news... is he done for the day?

Looks like it.

Guess not. Caddy running out the clock. Not sure what Gruden's thinking is here.

 

[Capella]

best win in two years.

 

[Doug B]

best win in two years.

Nah ... Saints might go 5-11 this season. Your Bucs will be touchdown favorites when they come to the Dome.Too many press clippings and commericals. The Saints are lost and done for 2007.

Interesting stat - teams that start 0-2 have a 1% chance of making the playoffs.Time to start putting young guys in to learn the ropes - season over.

 

[Ike Turner]

No matter how bad the Saints are, the Bucs still had to execute. Great game for them and something they should be able to build on going forward.

 

[gump]

:( best win in two years.

I saw a lot of positive things last week v Seattle. The line is getting better, and Garcia is certainly 3 times the QB that Grads is. It's an improving team...I see 8-8.
