I'm not a fan of either team...But come on, NO, have a little pride here.

 

[MSULions]

man aaron brooks is stupid. got bailed out by an even dumber play though.

 

[HomestarRunner]

Let me see if I have this straight (I never knew this rule, admittedly) - The ball can cross the goalline - even outside the pylon - as long as a body part crosses inside the pylon, and no other body part is touching the ground out of bounds.

Somewhat similar to a routine sideline catch...the ball can cross the sideline, and it's still a catch as long as the feet are down in bounds and no other body part is touching the ground out of bounds.

 

[my man otis]

Why must teams insist on thinking a draw on 2nd and 16 is a good play?Aaron, you're running ont he wrong play buddy.

What's goofy about this is that I could swear that prior to Ducket's TD, that Griffith did the exact same thing on a little flare pass from Vick. Am I crazy?

 

[Acme CEO]

Brooks looks ####### lost and scared when he scrambles.

 

[Keys Myaths]

And what did a QB scramble on 3rd and 16 hope to accomplish?Well, at least Levin got a point out of it.

 

[phrozen]

Brooks looks ####### lost and scared when he scrambles on every snap.

Fixed.

Brooks is a stupid quarterback, it's frustrating to watch him play. And no, I'm not a Brooks owner, I'm pulling for New Orleans so the Skins can stay in the playoff hunt.

Q: What's worse than a fantasy owner having Brooks on his roster?A: Having to start him.Q: What's worse than that?A: Having to WATCH Brooks' game.

That's always been his knock - I pray I never see him in a Dolphion uniform.Didn't they draft a guy with Brooks' skill set but a lot more football brains?

 

[Keys Myaths]

HOLY CRAP.

 

[jeff_eaglz]

That was ugly.

 

[Dynasty]

Plays like that do not make a good quarterback.

 

[valhallan]

Such a typical Saints play

 

[Fla\/\/ed]

I LOVE IT

 

[MSULions]

sometimes it's better to be lucky than good.

 

[jeff_eaglz]

I saw that play in my back yard Thanksgiving.

 

[delusional]

vick got whacked too

 

[dickey moe]

Lucky freaking TD, thanks to an inept Saints secondary.

 

[phrozen]

Such a typical Saints play

yeah blown double coverage - there is no way White should have caught that ball with 2 Saints covering him

 

[Big Score]

LOL you have to be kidding me.  No way was that a a TD.

NFL TDs have taken on a legal minutae atmosphere.How Vick gets a TD - legally wihtin the rules - and Coles' TD catch againstthe Saints a couple week ago gets overturnd is BEYOND nme.

Vick never gets the ball actually across the GL - only the invisible magical goalline that extends "around the world" and then gets his fingertips barely over the pylon and gets a TD.

Coles makes a catch in the end zone, has control of the ball, gets both feet down, turns and makes a "football move" theball gets juggled AFTER all that, he falls down andhis shoulder falls out of bounds - the ball never hits the ground - and the head of officiating said it was the right call to overturn the TD.

I can't trust the rules on any questionable TD calls in the NFL anymore.

The TD for Vick is not anything new here guys. Earlier this year Jacksonville won in OT on the only catch Jimmy Smith had in the entire game, where he hooked the pylon with his right foot, while the rest of his body was well out of bounds but still airborne.

 

[Keys Myaths]

That was ugly.

What the announcers aren't telling you is how bad the Saints' secondary was on that play. They literally ran into each other.

 

[Marc Levin]

If Vick had thrown that ball accurately, it woulda been picked or incomplete.

 

[my man otis]

Well gentlemen, that puts a close to the 2005 season for my man otis. Good night, good luck, and may you draft 1st round value in the 10th round.

 

[fierce_corgi]

I LOVE IT

But do you also like it?And do you want more of it?

Didn't say it was news and/or not a legal TD.I'm saying that NFL TD rules that validate Vick's TD and invalidate Coles' TD are FUBAR.

you only have one league?

 

[phrozen]

yeah Saints lets not rush to the line and get a play off while the clock is ticking

 

[Fla\/\/ed]

Of course! Anything to make this game exciting and material that drives Vick haters nuts!

 

[Keys Myaths]

Donte' Stallworth sighting!

 

[Burning Sensation]

So much for my Saints/under parlay.

 

[Marc Levin]

I should get some good barbage points froBrooks here and in the fourth Q.

no, two. I have the honor of the RB duo of Jamal Lewis and JJones in a dynasty league, so needless to say my season was over before it began. I'm looking at Bush for next year so it's not so bad.This league I survived the Bulger injury bug as long as I could but Brunell did me in this week. That and starting Bruce over Shockey.

I did three leagues last year and it was too much (plus commish in one), so two is the limit for me.

Oh well, there's always 2006.

 

[Marc Levin]

that should read "garbage points from Brooks"Glad to be slightly prohetic - now if I can accurately predict Brooks RUNNING a td in here, I'll be happy.

 

[Marc Levin]

OMG - never friggin' mind.BONEHEAD!!!

 

[satch]

at a roughing the passer call taking away a TD.

Yeah, I'm laughing so hard I almost threw a lamp through the freakin' window. What an F'ing idiot. Your teammate is scoring a TD on an interception and you simply can't resist the urge to hit the QB. Freakin' jerk. I hate him.Oh yeah, and what's with the F'ing Saints D? The Falcons can't do anything until they ge into field goal territory at which point they're unstoppable. Thus, eliminating any chance for a field goal.

If you haven't figure it out, my playoff hopes are hanging on the Falcons D and Peterson.

 

[Marc Levin]

I did three leagues last year and it was too much (plus commish in one), so two is the limit for me.

I did "only" six this year - usually I am between 7 and 9 leagues.

 

[Acme CEO]

He's outside the tackles. If a defender's grabbing brooks, its still intentional grounding?

LOL.Guess that means your odds are good to have a couple of teams playing now. Good luck.

Brooks ain't no Samkon Gado. on Brooks

 

[Acme CEO]

wow

 

[Keys Myaths]

Aaron Brooks is a beast. Heh.

 

[phrozen]

TD BABY

Ball has to go past the line of scrimmage, too.

I'll take it. Now I need some big garbage numbers inthe fourth and I might actually make my game competitive - I wanted 100 yards passing and a TD out of Brooks in the first half to make my game competitive and I got it.Even if I lose, I'd like to make my opponent sweat and have to watch the entire game.

 

[Keys Myaths]

TD BABY

Not bad...Atlanta might just give your boys this game.
