Nice to see an offensive lineman getting some camera time. Madden is smiling somewhere...

 

[Power Monster]

Why would the Saints give the ball to a rookie with Drew Brees at QB for the last play? Crazy! Welcome to FF 2011- Brees and Rodgers show you why they are the top QBs in the NFC.

You guys can't seriously be saying Ingram was the fail on that play.

What, you mean it's perfectly normal to hesitantly approach the line of scrimmage while standing straight up?

The line was pushed a yard back by the time Ingram had the ball with the back four jumping completely untouched. LOL two Packers legs were practically wrapped around Ingrams shoulders.

I'm surprised by the lack of actual football knowledge compared to fantasy knowledge here

Really? New here on game day?

 

[Statorama]

Biggest play of the game has to go to the refs not ejecting Woodson for throwing a kidney punch. Saints probably spread the field on that last play if Woodson isn't in there.

 

[Raider Nation]

How the HELL are we supposed to kill time until Sunday after a game like that?

Let it go!!!Could and should Woodson have been tossed. Sure, you can say that. But it's football. Saints had chances to win and didnt get it done.Stop crying. The team you root for is too good for that!

Ingram needs to start hitting the running lanes harder. He looked hesitant on that last run..

 

[valhallan]

Damn, knew that Colston fumble in the first half was a killer.

Think all of us Saints fans knew right then that the game would end with us desperately trying to catch up. Seems familiar but I'm too toasted and mad to remember which game.

Crochet the Saints a defense?

Gotta improve significantly on defense. If we continue with that kind of performance we're looking at a sub .500 season.

Did you really just say he needs to hit the running lanes harder and support your claim by throwing that play out there? A play where there is no lanes and if he goes balls out immediately he doesn't even get off the ground?

I should have added that he looked hesitant on other runs aswell

Any word on the Colston injury, @ScottWalker6 said he is going to XRay!

Aaron Rodgers sure does like mentioning that they didn't have offseason workouts.

I didn't see that at all. In fact, Collinsworth commented on how he hts the hole with authority and vision.

Can we rewind tonight? I missed (as well as 1.4 million others) a great game because of some BS power outage. I sure hope this is on NFL network via rewind. This is not how i wanted to open the season.

 

[Neil Beaufort Zod]

I wonder if they'd trust Ingram here.

Guess they did. And it didn't work.

Wasn't ingrams fault. No push at all.

There was a lot of push, and it was all coming at him. Ingram deserves no blame for that play. I can't think of a running back who would have scored on that play except for Christian Okoye in Tecmo Super Bowl.

 

[valhallan]

Upon further review, this game is a massive blowout without Drew Brees. Not a single Saints receiver could get open, forcing Drew to send it on a rope every time. (Lance Moore can't return soon enough.) Meanwhile the Packers targets repeatedly had yards of cushion and the Saints couldn't tackle a girl after the catch. Absolutely no one stepped up for the Saints in any appreciable way except two plays from Sproles. They were worked hard and it's a huge credit to Brees they had any chance at all to tie it.

 

[griff321]

Jordy Nelson seems like he's overthrow Driver.

You didn't notice that LAST YEAR?

I figured he may still be able to fill a bye week hole or something, and I'm sure he still can. However, he at the top of my list to drop if someone emerges on my WW.

 

[griff321]

Pretty disappointing night for us Finley owners. He had 53 yards in receptions, I think all in the first quarter. Hasn't even been a target since then.

I'm looking forward to seeing the coaches tape over on this game to see exactly what was going on. Couple of things I noticed though, he was lined up all over the field and was in for a ton of plays. Rodgers did look towards Finley a few times in the redzone, but it seemed like he progressed to his next read every time. Even though Quarless is #2 on the official depth chart it looks like Tom Crabtree has that job.

 

[Mr.Pack]

Woodson has been very active and made a lot of key plays since the refs refused to kick him out after punching that Saints player earlier.

 

[Mr.Pack]

How can you blame Ingram? His o-line got pushed back over a yard on the freaking goal line.

 

[Mr.Pack]

You guys can't seriously be saying Ingram was the fail on that play.

What, you mean it's perfectly normal to hesitantly approach the line of scrimmage while standing straight up?

When your whole O-line is curled up in a ball with their thumbs in their mouths, yes, yes it is.

They wanted him to run faster into that wall of green, the game would have ended a split second earlier.

 

[Mr.Pack]

Damn, knew that Colston fumble in the first half was a killer.

Nah it was the fact that Woodson wasn't kicked out.Not the fumble, not the 108yd kickoff return,not the goaline standnot the 4th down stand earlier in the game.not the 300 yds and 3TDs thrown by RodgersIt was because Superman Woodson wasn't booted.

 

[Mr.Pack]

Aaron Rodgers sure does like mentioning that they didn't have offseason workouts.
