Week 15: Saints (7-6) @ Bears (7-6) 7:15 PM NFLN/WPWR LOCAL

[Cynosure]

Good defensive play almost turned into a disaster.

[E.J.]

I have to say, it's pretty boring watch the Bear's offense.

[Handlebar McSkullet]

I got Joniak rocking now.. I am so mad!!! NFL.com feed is garbage.

What the hell, Hester.

 

He's driving me nuts doing that crap. Every game he does it. In all seriousness, he's hurting the team with that awful decision-making.

 

I could live with it when he had the explosion to break a few the last two years. Now it's inexcusable.

 

His running backwards is inexcusable... BUT...

 

How much of his lack of returns this year do you blame on HESTER? And how much of it is the other team has figured him out and he doesn't have the same blockers?

 

I'm not defending Hester at all, just wondering about those factors.

 

Hester looks like he's lost a step and special teams blocking isn't as good this year (Manning KO return being the exception).

[Soul]

Just get the feeling we won't be able to stop 'em forever.

Moreover, Hester's broken most of his return TD's by making the first tackler miss and blowing past the rest, NOT by running around them. It's just silly to think you can outrun NFL coverage teams side-to-side. You can't. So stop.

Maybe instead of piling on Hester some scorn should be directed at Orton for air mailing two easy throws on that drive.

 

Certainly, the first throw to Hester shouldn't have been incomplete.

[Hall7810]

The sloppy field with an assist.

[Outshined_One]

Nice stop.

[Guest]

Nice to see Graham make a nice play and Tommie Harris get some pressure.

[Cynosure]

I cannot believe how terrible it is out there, and I am just seeing it on TV... and in NON HD.

[brinoch]

Graham made a nice play there. I like Tommie Harris's idea there on the delayed blitz.

The field's been horrible all season. I don't know what the hell's going on with it, but the field has been an issue in a number of home games this year.

[Cynosure]

Forte coming back!

[Guest]

Woo, Forte is alive!

[Soul]

Collinsworth just grates on my nerves. He thinks everything he says is sacrosanct. If you listen, he says a lot of pretty questionable crap.

[Cynosure]

Brees better step it up if he wants to even have a chance at a shot of Marino's record.

Orton's accuracy remains an issue, and will probably always be a liability.

He's nowhere near as bad as most announcers, especially the ones on Fox.

It hasn't been much of an issue in past seasons, though. This year it's been particularly bad.

[Guest]

Brown gets that sack he deserved on Graham's penalty.

[Cynosure]

3rd and 16 isn't enough apparently.

[brinoch]

Horrid pass defense there. Ugh.

[Brian]

well that was great nothing like a guy wide open on a 3rd and 16
