Saints / Pats Monumental MNF Faceoff Thread? (1 Viewer)

How can you not put the ball in Brees hand on 3rd and 4? No time to be cute Payton.

 

[timschochet]

What a weird third down call. Almost a wasted drive.

I loved the first play call, as it was like, "Okay, we are going to attack you all night," but then they got all cute with short dinks and dunks. Sean Payton definitely has some Mike Martz in him, where he wants you to see how clever he is with odd play-calling at the expense of doing what works.

 

[towney]

Hartley one step closer over Carney.

 

[Green and Gold]

If the Pats win by 2 touchdowns are they the best team in football?

No.

 

[cubbie5150]

Why doesn't Brees ever throw a jump ball to Colston in the end zone??

 

[timschochet]

Anyone think the Saints win 3-0?

 

[cubbie5150]

Anyone think the Saints win 3-0?

Yep...3 pts might be enough to win this one

 

[Green and Gold]

Over/under on the number of Brady delay of games: 2.

 

[ATC1]

Terrible Will Smith.

 

[bostonfred]

The demise of Laurence Maroney has been greatly exaggerated

 

[The Ref]

For what it's worth - the local radio pundits seem to think that Maroney was going to get a lot of work this week.

 

[PizzaDeliveryGuy]

Tom just didn't see em?

 

[Big Rocks]

Surprised that Sharper wasn't called for a penalty there.

 

[Morton Muffley]

Tom just didn't see em?

I used to think that Gruden made Jaws look bad...now I think Jaws makes himself look bad

 

[bostonfred]

Love how Faulk has that extra gear for the last few steps out of bounds

 

[timschochet]

Faulk is just ageless out there.

 

[PizzaDeliveryGuy]

I think the Patriots can pick up 5 or 6 on the ground all night long.

 

[certificate]

Sedrick Ellis is back, I've been hearing for weeks about how he's the only reason behind the Saints run stopping woes.

We'll see tonight I guess....

 

[timschochet]

That drive took what? 8 minutes?

 

[PizzaDeliveryGuy]

Gonna be a bad night for people depending on the Pats passing game.

 

[Ghost Rider]

Impressive drive.

I think the Patriots are gonna show tonight that if you don't turn the ball over, that Saints defense is more than beatable.

 

[bostonfred]

I love this team.

 

[ATC1]

Defense Rula numba one - Tackle the guy with the ball!

 

[cubbie5150]

Gonna be a bad night for people depending on the Pats passing game.

Yep... They're gonna be able to run all night long from the look of it

 

[MCguidance]

This the game thread?

 

[cr8f]

I sure don't want to recreate something already started (could have sworn there was a thread, just could not find it).

BUT, what are people here thinking on this game? Would love to know.

Because this is the biggest regular season game in New Orleans Saints history.

Bigger than the Katrina game?

 

[Ghost Rider]

This the game thread?

Apparently. Biggest MNF game of the year and no mod is around to sticky it?

 

[Jewell]

This is a pretty nice start to a game. Even the doinked field goal made it more interesting.

I love the Belichickian confidence.

Maybe, but Brady was looking deep 3 or 4 times on that opening drive before dumping it off.

 

[BRONG]

I'm on a slight dvr delay here, but on that Pats TD, a false start should have called. The TE in motion moved forward. I thought I saw it in real time, so I went back, and he definitely moved. That would've been a field goal instead.

I bet the Patriots so what do I care...

 

[bostonfred]

Another drive like that and I might just do it myself.

 

[Knobs]

Ouch, Shockey just got crushed. Nice job on Brees' part moving around in the pocket.

In that case, Maroney would have been a nice start this week. What is his rank over the last 5-6 weeks?

[Green and Gold]

I don't get why the Saints keep trying these little gadgets, they're gashing the Pats with normal plays.

 

[parasaurolophus]

he is gonna wish he had that back

 

[timschochet]

The Saints are trying too many trick run plays, when Brees should be throwing.

 

[Green and Gold]

Look, a gadget punt...and a big return.

 

[Knobs]

If Meachum had run at full speed the entire time that was a touchdown.

 

[Green and Gold]

Well, that gives them a do-over.

 

[MCguidance]

First TO.

 

[lyon812]

Rar, welcome back Mr. McKenzie.

 

[Big Rocks]

Oops

 

[PizzaDeliveryGuy]

I appreciate them trying to get the ball to Moss but they should probably be running it every down.

 

[joffer]

this is like a 3-hour commercial with some football breaks

 

[Knobs]

Suck it, Brady! Another Saints interception...they lead the league in those.

 

[theplayer11]

5 wide when they can't stop the run?..don't even have to worry about it

 

[timschochet]

I appreciate them trying to get the ball to Moss but they should probably be running it every down.

NO! THROW THE BALL TO MOSS! Again and again.

 

[shadyridr]

Im actually shocked how many people are picking the Saints. I just dont see how the Saints cornerbacks can stop the Pats passing game. Ill say Pats by more than 10.

Have you watched them much this year?There defense is better than you think and their running game is better than the Patriots, nevermind the fact they're playing at home, which is a huge advantage for the Saints.

of course ive watched. you do realize theyve had a ton of injuries on the defensive side of the ball recently?
