  1. Add that to the apparant rule that made Worrell's risky move to go after the ball just as the opposition was about to down a punt not as risky as I thought, and you've got a couple situations where I was screaming at the TV only to realize I was wrong and the player was not as dumb as I thought. What rule was that about Worrell's play? I don't know if I heard the justification for that.
  2. What's that quote from? That sure sounds like it's taken from Lou's comments during the winter meetings, but I could be wrong. I'm hoping that spring training will change Lou's mind on a few things...
  3. I seriously just got a cold shiver when I read that. Oh my god he is so awful. He's worse then awful. I don't really have words to describe it. I like Collinsworth though (assuming you were talking about Gumbel) I've always really enjoyed Collinsworth. I haven't heard any of the NFL Network games so far, but I can only imagine how bad Bryant would be. Well he called the playclock the shotclock this past week. That was fun. That's high comedy.
  4. I guessing they'll put out half the starters this week and half next week or something like that...so they can get guys rested but try to keep the rythm for others.

  6. Any word on Thomas Jones? From the Trib article about Cedric: EDIT: I should have read the whole article:
  7. Yesterday, the defense allowed one actual offensive drive, and got burned for 2 big plays. 10 points were scored on a turnover and a stupid coverage penalty where the Tampa offense managed to move the ball a grand total of 9 yards combined. My only real concern was a lack of focus on defense after they got the big lead, and that the Mannings got burned twice on plays within 2 mins of each other. Good post. Couldn't agree more.
  8. Here's my list: 1. Saints 2. Cowboys 3. The field The Falcons would be my favorite team to meet, so I can agree with you there. I think the Bears would do a good job sniffing out Bush, but Brees scares me a bit. I think he could have a good time shredding our secondary depending on how healthy we are. The Cowboys don't scare me a lot, just more than the rest of the possible opponents.
  9. Peter King last night spend about 5 minutes before the game talking about Drew Brees's contract. He said that while everyone thought he signed a 6 year deal, it was actually a 1 year deal with an option for the other 5, and that in order to exercise the option, the Saints have to pay $12 million. He did a nice job of trying to scare the crap out of Saints fans with this, before saying that the team knows they'd be dumb not to exercise the option, and that they will. Then why mention it Peter? Why spend 5 minutes of airtime on it??
  10. Did they draw the birthmark on his face? Ya know....for realism's sake? At least a small measure of respect from Clark Judge on Sportsline. From his 5 thoughts at the end of his "judgements":
  11. Agreed. The Saints will be the only real NFC competition, and I'm not convinced that they'll be as tough as they've looked at some points.
  12. Peter King also says Drew Brees is still the MVP right now, which I think is just ridiculous. So he's obviously got some kind of love for the Saints right now.
  13. So why would Lovie go out of his way to state the Tank is still a member of the Bears yesterday? I was just coming to post this quote. I think we've learned that we can't believe anything Lovie says. Last year "Orton is our quarterback" turned into Grossman replacing him. This year "Grossman is our quarterback" was reportedly a bad half away from being untrue. This week he said that Hester was too busy with special teams and defense to play offense, but he was on offense for a play this week. And now this... I'm sure there's more I'm missing, but I think the point is that Lovie isn't always truthful in the media. I don't think that's necessarily a bad thing, since I'm sure a lot of it is gamesmanship, but I think we need to consider that when evaluating his quotes.
  14. How about win a playoff game? The Saints haven't done that recently, and were being touted as the best in the NFC last week.
  15. Um...hello? The best team in the NFC has to either be in the NFC East, or been recently ravaged by a natural disaster. It's a rule.
  16. God, the NFL really needs to drop whatever crap they are holding against the Bears and start calling a fair game. Christ. The NFL doesn't have a vendetta against the Bears. I can understand you claiming an announcer (Joe Buck) doesn't like the Bears but to claim the NFL has something against the Bears and instructs the referees to favor the other team is just stupid. It was a freak'n joke. Somehow I doubt that. There's word I want to say to you but this is a family board, so instead, why dont you just shut up, jerk. Thank you for editing your post...but both of you need to drop this.
  17. Lots of running and didn't get much.
  18. Man Alstott can get about 3 yards on every play if he needs to.
