Who dat secondary that cheats?

Was this meant to anger someone? I cannot see any purpose in posting this.

Weird how I don't see you making the same reply to all the other posts that are clearly meant to anger others.

 

[Limp Ditka]

That looked like obvious helmet to helmet. Not sure about the complaints

and you're obviously blind

I don't have access to dvr at the moment. If no helmet to helmet, he was hit in the head. Not sure what you were watching that made you think it wasn't a penalty

Penalty or not, it's horse#### and ruining the game

The safety is targeting the chest. The receiver is going to the ground and is less than 1 second from having his hands on the ball. The safety can only get so low so fast and still impact the play.

The rule should be about intention and it should be reviewable every time its called.

They probably don't need to add more reviewable plays.

They should probably focus on getting it right instead of assessing penalites because it looked bad at real speed

 

[mad sweeney]

5 minutes into this game and it shows why Hawks fans are the worst on this board.

 

[RBM]

Saints looking so much more physical. Both sides. Wow

 

[proninja]

Ingram and the run game looking very good

 

[cowboyz1]

Anyone notice the PI the Harvin hit? Something was going to be called. They made the right one though; that was helmet on helmet.

Honestly, i really don' t know how you can control the way you hit at full speed. He either takes out his knees or aims for the middle of his body. Harvin bent over trying to prep for the hit. How can you stop yourself.

 

[ShamrockPride]

I like the physicality of both these defenses so far. Great to watch.

 

[Gargoylez]

This Aint your every day Saints... look like Czonka out there!

 

[valhallan]

Seahawks moving guys into the box. That's what we needed to get anything in the air.

 

[mad sweeney]

And quit with the cheap and dirty talk.

Big stand by the Saints after that horrid series and punt.

Soon as the saints stop making cheap and dirty (and probably smart) hits we'll stop pointing it out.

How are they dirty and cheap? Because they are hard hits?

Laughable coming from a Seahawk fan.

What's going to be funny is when there's a flag on Seattle and you take the other viewpoint.

Again, tell me how they are cheap and dirty hits.

Sorry, no way would that accusation ever be made or stick to the Saints.

 

[Mr.Pack]

Looks like the saints came to play ball today. Some hard hitting going on out there.

Only hard hits when Seattle does it, when the Saints do it, it's cheap and dirty.

 

[valhallan]

But, of course Payton abandons the run on the first stuff.

 

[sho nuff]

Interesting so far...wondering how long the rushing success last.

Huge loss on that screen

 

[ffldrew]

These screens may not be the best calls against this Seahawk D

Now you're getting it.

I tend to agree with his argument about WRs off balance and ducking. Problem is---Harvin was doing neither. That hit was textbook targeting and in college would have earned an ejection.

 

[fred_1_15301]

I would go for it

 

[elbowrm]

Go for it

 

[ShamrockPride]

Fail. Just fail...

 

[Joe Summer]

Hartley makes that.

 

[Doctor Detroit]

Nice drive by the Saints but ZERO points.

 

[phrozen]

oofff

 

[fred_1_15301]

Bad call IMO given the conditions

 

[The General]

Get Hartle

Hartley makes that.

 

[Darryl Talley]

Can Brees throw a 10+ yard pass outdoors?

 

[valhallan]

All that great work for nada.

 

[Eminence]

Gotta like what the Saints are doing setting up the run game, look for Brees to burn them on some Play-Action next series.

 

[SaintsInDome2006]

In it!!!!!!!

 

[TenTimes]

Seattle D starting to hit

 

[The_Man]

This is a very physical game. Love it. Though I think that as impressive as the Saints' effort has been so far, they're playing Seattle's game. They will be some broken down dudes by the fourth quarter at this rate.

When will New Orleans throw to a WR or TE?

 

[Doctor Detroit]

You gonna do this all day?

 

[Officer Pete Malloy]

Welcome to Shanksville. Population: Shane Graham.

 

[proninja]

Shaping up to be a totally different game than the last one. Saints look good and aggressive so far.

So they aren't cheap and dirty hits, or you can't tell why they are, just that, "they just are"?

 

[Statorama]

Well that was an unfortunate miss

 

[mad sweeney]

Bad call IMO given the conditions

The flags on the goalposts were limp.

 

[The General]

How are you going to review "intention"?

 

[Neofight]

you serious Clark?

It's Claude. And yes. They'll call that hit every time; as they should.

 

[SaintsInDome2006]

Graham was wide open on 2nd down!

Once Seattle's defense is all tired out from these smashmouth running plays.

 

[raidergil]

Looked like holder's fault as laces were facing Graham - unless he prefers that for some reason.

 

[CGRdrJoe]

Laces out Dan

Special teams really helping the cause today

Sorry, perhaps you missed the flag.

 

[valhallan]

I guess no concussion protocol for Harvin eh?

When you go after the head of a guy with concussion issues in the past on his first down field target of the game and your franchise and coach have a history of putting bounties on hurting the other teams best player, I don't think it's unfair to point it out. Could it have been accidental? Sure. Did it look dirty? Yup.

 

[Eminence]

Send an all-out blitz Rex!

 

[gianmarco]

Intense game.
