NFL Week 1 (Sept. 8th-12th)

[ELCABALLO45]

Wow that is a pretty big missed call

[ELCABALLO45]

This is unreal...

[bcl412]

Basically have to keep them out of the end zone twice since they have to go for two.

[sneakypower]

man i love [expletive] like that

[OleMissCub]

great game

[NonProfitCow]

That was fun.

[Magnetic Curses]

this is the script for every single packer game.

[chuckywang]

Packers let off on the gas a bit at the end. Should never have been this close. Great game though.

[OleMissCub]

Shows how good the Saints offense is to come back like that.

[bcl412]

Those two could easily be the best in the NFC. At the very least tonight did little to indicate they weren't.

[OleMissCub]

Should never have been this close.

 

Why? Y'all are infinitely better than the Saints or something?

 

I think the teams were pretty evenly matched going in and I think they still are.

[UMFan83]

God Dammit. Great pickup that Ingram. Touted as the guy to solve the Saints goal line issues, gets stuffed several times during the game, makes Payton pass on 4th and 1 from the 7 that completely changes the game, and then gets stuffed on the final play of the game from 1 yard out. I realize it was more the Saints blocking and Packers D on that particular play but still. Not very impressive at all.

 

Packers lucked out. Offense won't be that good every week and if their D plays like this they aren't gonna win the division much less the Super Bowl.

 

Yes I'm bitter.

[Flames24Rulz]

That was [expletive] ridiculous. That was full blown Cub-mode at the end of that one.

We won't play Drew Brees every week either.

it's ok, he was trying to give your team a compliment. he only considers you scum next to the packers.

Uhhh...neither defense looked like the best in the NFC, that's for sure.

How about complaining to Sean Payton for calling that play? Ingram didn't have a prayer on that play.

I was cringing at all the running plays Packers were calling when they were up 15. Passing is what the Packers do best, and they got away from it with that kill-the-clock offense they wanted to do.

[sneakypower]

Ingram fixed their goal line issues until they signed Kreutz to negate it all

It was a 15 point lead with 5 minutes left and the Saints were a yard away from tying it. I think that's all he meant by that post.

Agreed. A Colston fumble, a Payton playcall on 4th and 1 from the 7 and a goal line stand were the differences in the game. Saints gained more yards, had more first downs, had less penalties, etc. Should have won the game despite the Packers offense looking great most of the game.

[Magnetic Curses]

That was [expletive] ridiculous. That was full blown Cub-mode at the end of that one.

 

what? they won, right?

[Soul]

Those two could easily be the best in the NFC. At the very least tonight did little to indicate they weren't.

 

Uhhh...neither defense looked like the best in the NFC, that's for sure.

 

Certainly the Saints didn't make a very good case for their defense.

 

Of that much, there can be no argument.

I'll agree with that. Was thankful y'all ran the ball so much.

I would have called that play if I was Payton. If he calls a pass and it ends up like the 4th down earlier in the game, he is crucified for the play call. If you are an NFL team and you want to beat the douchebag champions, you have to be able to run it in from 1 yard out.
