Game Thread W6 - New Orleans V Tampa Bay (1 Viewer)

[Doug B]

Barth was short on that 55-yarder? Dude's got a cannon.

Saints have to take advantage.

 

[Premier]

I'm not sure how much worse the Bucs are than the Saints.

Whatever. This is far and away the Bucs' best performance of the season to date. I don't think this represents TB's true level ... but it is the way a cornered team with heart plays after a blowout. Saints are playing their third consecutive on the road ... they can't match the Bucs' intensity.

Doug,Ok.

Graham is just a ####### beast

 

[Kilgore]

Payton has a broken knee, broken tibia, and tore his MCL.

The knee is a joint. How do you "break" it. Did he break his knee-CAP?

 

[GoBirds]

Graham is just a ####### beast

The guy fell in my draft to about the 9th round, figured he was worth a shot. Way to luck out.

Same here.Did he just make another great catch?

Center false starts are maddening

18 yards, didnt see it though.

 

[Walton Goggins]

Would love to get a Graham TD

 

[Doug B]

Mora Jr. pointing out that the Bucs defense has a read on one of the Saints' formations :(

 

[NCPanthersFan]

Meachem have any targets?

 

[Doug B]

Meachem have any targets?

I haven't noticed any....Terrible PF call. Jeez. GG, TB.

 

[Tiger Fan]

Meachem have any targets?

yeah, he dropped one IIRC. It might have been the one that ended up an INT

 

[Tiger Fan]

as bad as the Saints are playing, it's dangerous to keep them within 1 score in the 4th quarter

 

[Stryker]

Lance Moore sucks. Mark Ingram can GFH> I hate fantasy football. haha

The Niners' MASH-unit WR corps smurf-walks through the TB defense, but no one on the Saints can do anything except Colston?

Football can be a weird game bro.

 

[Doug B]

Would love to know what the Bucs have done to stymie the Saints' WRs 2, 3, and 4. Usually, Brees can spread the ball around a lot better than this.

 

[Doug B]

FINALLY, a flag.

 

[Tiger Fan]

very lucky with that PI call there

 

[Tiger Fan]

Ingram!

 

[Doug B]

Ingram TD ... long-ish run, too

 

[Doug B]

very lucky with that PI call there

Make-up call, I wonder?

 

[Tiger Fan]

no clue, but i'll take it

 

[Doug B]

Saints falling asleep again

 

[Mr Rodgers neighborhood]

Ingram TD ... long-ish run, too

People are going to look at his YPC and not know about the 5 yard loss he took when he was met by the Bucs D line the instant he got the ball. He's a good. Some blocking, or playcalling to put him into better situations wouldnt hurt.

 

[Kilgore]

I don't understand...

 

[Doug B]

Saints need a turnover for once.

 

[Doug B]

No catch here ... bad miss by the officials.

 

[ffldrew]

Saints D on roller skates

 

[Rovers]

No catch here ... bad miss by the officials.

That call gets over turned 9 times out of 10.

 

[cubbie5150]

Saints are goin' nowhere w/ this crap defense

 

[Premier]

Very good win. Clearly the Bucs don't deserve to be on the field with the Saints, who should stop mucking it up with us common folk. Still, I'll take it and pray Brees has mercy on all of our souls next time these two teams meet (going for 3 in a row).

Nice game and a big win for the Bucs...see you again in a few weeks in the Dome

 

[Doug B]

The Saints have to quit rolling around in the mud with lesser teams. Haven't really seen them quick-throttle a team since the 2009 playoffs.

You mean the team that lost to a horrible Seattle team last year in the playoffs?I'm not sure how much worse the Bucs are than the Saints. New Orleans has no defense.

Now that I have my notebook updated, nothing but respect.But the Bucs don't give the Saints a game if they played right now. That Wk 6 was the Saints' third consecutive on the road. Shouldn't have mattered, but I guess it did. Payton's injury, same thing.

How does this Bucs win look in retrospect? Pretty clear aberration, I would say. Hate to harp on a two-month old game, but this exchange got in my craw ... the Bucs ARE who I thought they were. And they are not in the Saints' league.
