Game Thread W3 - New Orleans V Denver (1 Viewer)

[the spanker]

That's what I'm talking about BUSH! You can take your helmet off any time on the sidelines as far as I'm concerned

 

[OC Zed]

Great game going on here.

 

[two_dollars]

Reggie just CONTINUES to produce from the RB position!

 

[fluorescent walkway]

Saints defense just can't get stops.

 

[OC Zed]

Has any of Denver's opponents this year been able to get pressure on Cutler? If he can sit back in the pocket he will slice up any defense in the league by throwing to those receivers.

 

[the spanker]

This game is a fantasy GOLDMINE!!! Marshall and Bush are ripping it up for me

 

[njxbean]

that ball never stopped moving. should be incomplete.

It makes it easier when Denver fumbles.

 

[Vykng]

that ball never stopped moving. should be incomplete.

That's kinda what I was thinking, questionable though.

 

[the spanker]

Did Schef just fumble?

Looked like had control of it when he started to turn around. I don't see how they overrule the ruling that it was a fumble.

It could go either way IMO.

He definitely had possession. The rules are so ambiguous about how long they have to have possession for it's hard to tell what's complete and what isn't.

 

[Vykng]

Fumble.

 

[the spanker]

Schef back in the Shanny dog house

 

[Ghost Rider]

That safety is going to come back to kill the Broncos. Without it, it would be 34-31 right now. With Denver having no TOs now, the Saints can run it down and kick the FG at the end to win. Bah.

 

[Vykng]

Good stop there.

 

[Ghost Rider]

Huge stop. If NO hits the FG, they'll have a little under two minutes to get down into FG range. Not having Elam anymore makes me nervous.

 

[fluorescent walkway]

Heads up for Sean Payton: that play doesn't work.

 

[valhallan]

Well, Payton still sucks at playcalling. Couldn't get 3rd and 1 last week, so hey let's try 4th and 1 this week.

 

[MCguidance]

Awful kick, never had a chance.

 

[Ghost Rider]

Awesome. NO has one TO. One first down clinches the win.

 

[the spanker]

Will NO get the ball back?

 

[valhallan]

That's two games in a row that were basically squandered by the same idiotic 3rd and 1 call. What a joke.

 

[OC Zed]

Wow. New Orleans not going for the field goal at the end of the first half really cost them here. If they get the 3 points there, then they would not have been forced to go for the 2-point conversion on the last touchdown and we would be tied.

 

[Ghost Rider]

Will NO get the ball back?

With probably 20-25 seconds left, if they hold Denver.

 

[fluorescent walkway]

This sucks.

 

[the spanker]

They held

A lot of bad decisions cost them the game. Must be frustrating for the players.

Haslett all over again

 

[Ghost Rider]

Phew.

 

[Pygmy Marmoset]

Christ.

 

[Afro Samurai]

That's the second game Sean Payton has cost his team this season with his idiotic playcalling.

What a ######.

Yep.I may not watch another Saints game this season. The mere sight of Payton's face makes me want to throw up. Just like Haslett. I wouldn't be surprised if he's lost half the team already.

 

[Courtjester]

Man, if Denver just had a sort of bad defense we could do something. But this terrible, terrible defense is going to cost us when it counts.

Having to put up 32+ each week is nice fantasy wise, but is a recipe for a disaster.

Okay, we get the gift call last week and then the only reason we win this week is because NO pulls Bush at the goal line, when he could have easily just jumped in from the 2, and allows Thomas to get stopped. I would be pissed if I was a NO fan.

I will take 3-0 but I feel that our record is built on a house of cards right now.

Cutler--great

WR--Beyond great

TE--Fair but get your head out of....

Defense---wow...just wow,,,Pop warner teams could score a point on this team.

We need some big time changes or we are going to have a great regular season and a short post-season,

i don't necessarily blame payton for this. we haven't shown the ability to convert on the 3rd and short this season. the difference between week 1 and 2/3 is that we had a lead in that crucial call versus tampa. so thomas isn't able to pick up the tough yards. we should have been able to punch in a touchdown on 4 tries and didn't. we didn't convert a 3rd and i again. deuce anyone? 2 missed field goals cost us the game.

 

[Afro Samurai]

i don't necessarily blame payton for this.

He hasn't shown the capability to learn from his mistakes. He keeps doing the same thing over and over, and it keeps failing over and over.I can only draw two conclusions from this:A) He is stupid, on a child-like level.B) He is too selfish/arrogant to understand that he is a major part of the problem and that he needs to change the way he does things.Either way, he reminds me a whole lot of Jim Haslett.

How long have we been saying "if they could only get a pass rush?" They are stopping the run pretty well this season... If they could only get a pass rush.
