NFL Week 15

[NOLA]

The "non-touchdown" that would have put the Saints ahead late in the game. They actually reviewed this with this exact same angle and said he didn't cross the plane. For those who didn't see it, after he thought he was across the ball was stripped and recovered by the Falcons. Even Mike Pereria was stunned.

Seriously, how do you feel about them not making the playoffs? The consensus walking out of the Dome was that they are better off with a top 10 pick than losing in the 1st round. I really am about ready to trade Jimmy Graham. His effort was abysmal this season. We could use the cap space and picks for the OL and a CB, not that I trust this regime to draft well. Heads had better roll soon with this roster.

Not trying to troll you here, but I don't see where the ball itself crosses the plane. I see it in his right arm, but I don't see it on that yellow line or beyond it. I suppose if we made his hand invisible I might; is that what the argument is?

Look at the Atlanta defenders hand. It is on the tip of the ball (because he was about a second away from stripping it). That's across the plane. It's a bit of a blurred image because what you are thinking is the ball has a black line across it and is actually the right arm of the defender that is below Graham.

Yeah, that's pretty much exactly how I feel. Brees was also a bit off this year and I don't know if that is a combination of poor line play or the fact that he is getting older. I think it's probably both. I hate to say it but I think our window with Brees is very close to closing. That's what pisses me off so much about the BountyGate garbage. It took a prime year away from our Brees window.

 

I don't know if it was Graham acting out because he was pissed about being franchised or what, but his effort this year definitely sucked. You didn't see the same emotion from him this year that you had seen in the past.

While I see your point, from that view it isn't certain that the ball crosses the goal line. I cannot clearly see the ball cross, even if I think it does. Since the play was called a fumble on the field, the call stands- which means there isn't enough to overturn. I could care less who wins between Saints and Falcons, but I think, while the refs may have missed the call on the field, once it was called a fumble, the replay got it right in the way the rule is stated.

We actually have some pretty decent talk radio guys down here (3-6 pm on WTIX 106.1 if you want to stream) who disected the team pretty well today. They seem to think that Rob Ryan will be back next year but the roster will have some big changes. They pointed out that J Graham hasn't been the same since that illegal hit by Everett Ghoulson in the TB game last year and he's been scared of contact since. Also, you know how many total tackles Cam Jordan has had the last 2 games? ONE. Perhaps a coincidence, but the guys we've awarded new big contracts recently (J Evans, Jordan, Graham, Gallette) have been the most disappointing.

 

As for Drew, I do think he is slipping a bit, but a decent line he'd be fine. He is barely 5' 11" after all.

Could it be that after Graham got paid, he lost his hunger? It wouldn't be the first time that has happened with a player.

Yes. He has been a basketball player most of his life, remember. He has gotten the reputation for being easier to unhinge when he gets popped, and maybe after his payday he's reevaluated how much he enjoys football. It came pretty easy for him his first two seasons. He has to adjust.

I got like three solid weeks of fantasy action from Sexy Rexy in 2011. It was great. Also I don't blame him for turning down that one week gig. If you're already in vacation mode, you gotta do better than 50k. That's probably like $500 in normal person money.

Yeah, not to mention it's a meaningless game. If the Browns weren't eliminated from the playoffs, he probably takes the money for the chance at playing in the playoffs. Then again, he basically admitted tanking against the Packers because it was New Year's Eve and he was ready to start drinking, so who knows?

Alex Smith out with a lacerated spleen. YAY

Chase Daniel now to start...

 

Same [expletive] new name.

[Derwood]

lacerated spleen is no joke.
