Triple reverse againt the best rush defense in the league.....umm, I don't like that call.

As Homer would say, "Deaux!"

 

[CrossEyed]

Looked like a good call there. Gay was clearly molesting Harvin on the play.

Pretty sure this is hate speech, guy.

 

[ArcticEdge]

Rice!!! TOUCHDOWN!!!!!!!!!!

Is Alaska on tape delay???

I celebrated for a bit before the post.

 

[Iwannabeacowboybaby!]

These Refs love TV time. Even when there's no penalty they throw one to say there's no penalty.

 

[bakes]

No foul on the play because the quarter expired before the man touched the ball?

the hell's that mean?!?!?

 

[PlasmaDogPlasma]

WTH was that call? They were going to call illegal touching but didn't because the quarter ran out? The play was still live wasn't it?

Understandable.

 

[ArcticEdge]

Favre is one tough dude. Way tougher than Furley..

ArticEdge! Slap it high!

Where's urbanhack at Woz? He's no true fan..

 

[Goldminer1]

The Cleveland Show still exists?

 

[ICON211]

Do the refs really need to throw their flags 20 feet into the air? Can't just drop it on the ground?

Way to go out on a limb.

You forgot sir.

 

[Maelstrom]

From the Rulebook:

Any member of the punting team may down the ball anywhere in the field of play. However, it is illegal touching (Official’s time out and receiver’s ball at spot of illegal touching). This foul does not offset any foul by receivers during the down.

Think the ball had stopped rolling and they had aleady ended the play.

 

[Iwannabeacowboybaby!]

3rd and semi long, is the Saints defense going to bail them out this time with a penalty?

 

[bakes]

This year's ESPY for the best use of a telestrator goes to... Fox Sports! For the circling of Brett Favre's ear on the sidelines!

Style points.

 

[huskers15]

Should've took off Farve. Cmon.

Big 3 and out. Didn't love that play calling. 2 runs up the middle and a predictable pass on 3rd and long.

 

[ICON211]

Right to the sideline..........in the middle of the field.

Hack is a hack.

 

[Iwannabeacowboybaby!]

He's taken some big shots this game already, that may have been in his thought process.

 

[ATC1]

Brees' accuaracy is not there. Need to settle down.

 

[rzrback77]

defense both sides showing up now

 

[parasaurolophus]

Or maybe the trick play last year where he got caught up to by a woman in a walker

 

[rzrback77]

Reggie free and running hard at the end of the play

 

[Otis]

Reggie Bush is an ANIMAL these days.

 

[Iwannabeacowboybaby!]

Heck of a route by a RB right there, that's just not fair to a defense.

 

[IDrinkyourMilkshake]

Just give the ball to Reggie dammit

 

[GroveDiesel]

Some impressive defense in this game.

 

[Goldminer1]

d-fense. *clap-clap. d-fense. *clap-clap

Arena Football has started early this year.

 

[huskers15]

No pass rush whatsoever.

 

[McJose]

COPENHAGEN SAINTS!

 

[rzrback77]

Henderson's first catch is a big one

 

[Matt_The_Fantasy_Master]

No pressure whatsoever.

 

[ArcticEdge]

Looked like they were holding Hoss..

And you were expecting...?

 

[McJose]

Shocked face baby rules.

 

[Iwannabeacowboybaby!]

Whatever happened to the best teams having defenses, I don't know. I know seeing a lot of points is exciting but at some point I like to see balance, that great defenders can stop great offensive players, at least their fair share of the time. The rules in the game just are so overwhelmingly in favor of the offense when you have talent like these two teams have on offense, it's just so ridiculously hard to stop a team. Creating turnovers is just so big because forcing the traditional 3 and out against these teams just seems hard to do.

 

[IDrinkyourMilkshake]

Devery Henderson looks like Dave Chappelle!!!

 

[BobbyLayne]

On pace for a combined 800+ yards.

 

[Iwannabeacowboybaby!]

No pressure whatsoever.

It really is the key to so many things. Just look at the kind of pressure they got on Dallas, they never had a chance on 3rd and long.These QB's and WR's are just too big and fast in today's game, you can't touch them after 5 yards so if you don't get pressure on a QB, forget about it.

Looks about right. I'm actually a little surprised that the Vikings are passing so well. I thought they'd struggle a little more because of being on the road, they seem to be handling that well.

They are using the huge cushions by Saints DBs.

[FreeBaGeL]

Peterson does not look happy that he's coming out on 3rd and 4.

 

[Otis]

Prediction: Saints score a TD before the half and the Vikes implosion begins shortly thereafter.

 

[Zow]

Prediction: Saints score a TD before the half and the Vikes implosion begins shortly thereafter.

Prediction: Oat loses his bet.

This is what happens when you have money on the game.
