Game Thread W6 - Atlanta V New Orleans (1 Viewer)

[Fresh Prince]

What's wrong with the Atlanta Defense today? Besides 2 big plays, they have been driven on all day long.

A. Smith, 2nd TD on the day

 

[Sand]

the Saints suck.

Referees suck - cheap call on Hakim leads to the blocked FG. Saints should be up by 7.Call was beyond putrid. As a Saints fan, though, this type of call is pretty typical.

I can't see the game, was this a Randy Moss type of cheap interference call?

Hakim had his hand out. CB trips over goaline. Referee threw the flag after the TD catch. AWFUL.

Of course the flip side to this bad call was the earlier bunk pass interference call against Hall when playing Hakim down the sideline. That one kept alive a drive which led to an Saints TD. So it all evens out.

Missed that one. Saints are definitely the better team today so far, though. Not even close.

I started Thompson over Antowain because I'm a FF genius.

 

[LordHusker]

Boy, Atlanta is really exploiting that weak NO run D.

Okay, Horn is playing ... but anybody know:

(1) roughly what portion of the team's offensive plays has him on the field, and

(2) if/how often he's been targeted on passes?

but you've seen him? cuz i haven't..

Played early - haven't seen him in a while, though.

 

[Big Score]

Good Lord, how many balls can Dez White drop today?

 

[Sand]

Another terrible call. Illegal contact? Puhlease.

 

[EdwardCat]

Crumpler isn't seeing the ball because the OC has lost confidence in Vick's ability to throw the ball. Look at the stats. He can't complete a simple pass. All they do is run the ball like it's 1930.

Thank you. Schuab! Schuab! Schuab!

 

[Vykng]

I know many will argue otherwise but Schuab can win more games than Vick.

 

[Fresh Prince]

Was that just an 18 play, 10+ min TD drive the the Falcon O?

 

[Big Score]

Just looking at the stats, it indeed seems like Vick can't complete a pass to save his life. However only going by the stats, can be VERY missleading. If you were actually WATCHING the game, you would be seeing that Atlanta's WR's are dropping easily catchable passes left & right.Don't get me wrong now, Vick has thrown a coupla stinkers for sure. But I've counted 5 very catchable balls dropped by the WR's so far.

Dez White being the worst offender.

No, I haven't seen him ... I'm relying on comments made by others in this thread that THEY have seen him playing.

 

[Lobar]

Any updates on Horn?

 

[Vykng]

Any updates on Horn?

who?

I think hes the Chiefs #1 TE.

 

[Lambert]

Hakim, Stallworth, Henderson, Hilton, Poole, Stecker ... all with receptions from Brooks now ...Joe Horn still is on the Saints roster, isn't he??

 

[my man otis]

I hate stallworth. I really do. he's teh most useless WR on the planet.3 good games, 2 games with a zero. Guess the two games I've started him?????

 

[NYG Endzone]

Stallworth. Every other week stud!

 

[Vykng]

I hate stallworth. I really do. he's teh most useless WR on the planet.

I am going to guess the 2 games I started him also.

Stallworth! Ha! I should've known to start him. Ok, here's the deal. Don't start him next week. Do it the week after. Don't start him the week after that. Start him in 4 weeks. Got it? Good.

it's terrible, isn't it? i mean, the guy is OK enough not to cut and just terrible enough to not start. WR pergatory.

Join the crowd. I started him those same two games and left him on the bench the other three. The week I started him, I lost by 2 points.

 

[togo]

If anybody is watching the game is Horn playing is he on the sideline??

I'm extremely close to cutting him just so i'm not tempted to ever start him again.

I called this one last week, even though I benched him this week.

Made a trade last week that made him my 5th WR. S.Moss R.Moss and Holt are my goto guys now.

Decoy!

 

[MGD Destroyer]

Where the flying eff is Finneran? Had to start him today out of desperation.....

 

[Carter_Can_Fly]

Vick's leading WR has 2 catches for 24 yards against the powerful secondary of NO. This is ridiculous.

 

[Carter_Can_Fly]

Where the flying eff is Finneran? Had to start him today out of desperation.....

Same here, that is why I am demanding Schaub in, hell I would settle for R. Leafs passing stats right about now.

 

[scott72]

I knew I should have started McNair over Vick...

 

[Fresh Prince]

D gets the INT and Dunn cashes in from 21 yards

 

[fflnut]

Woo nice TD run by Dunn!

Finneran didn't want Dez White to feel bad about all of his dropped passes today, so he's dropped a couple of passes himself today. Seriously guys, for those of you who can't actually see the game and are calling for Schaub thinking he'd be completing passs. Forgetaboudit!

Falcons WR's are playing with hands of stone today.

For those asking about Horn. I haven't seen him on the field so far in this 2nd half.

 

[EFD]

Thank God I swapped out Drew Bennett for Joe Horn at the last second....
