yeah it was pretty much well within thier reach for a while there. Heck if they actually capitalized on some of those turnovers they got, actually picked a few balls off that they should've picked off, and that dumb ref hadn't blown the whistle on that fumble so the Lions guy could have returned it for 6 it may have been quite the different game.
But hey when you don't capitalize on opportunities against a team like the Saints they'll hurt you.

The fact the Saints never had to punt all game says something. Detroit's tackling was pathetic and their corners were utterly destroyed. They had 3 golden opportunities to get interceptions on Brees and they spilled them all. You can't do that when Brees is in the form he is. Stafford and Johnson were valiant, but when Brees has an OL with three Pro Bowlers, then Colston, Graham, Sproles and Meachem to throw at - you have to take the 1-2 chances Brees gives you to burn him.
Well, Saints-49s next week will be huge. I'm expecting a fair war of words between two certain people on these forums. As for tomorrow - please beat Atlanta, New York...

Yeah, I'm the one spewing a truckload of ignorance. You made a sarcastic comment in which you exaggerated, tongue-in-cheek style: "Penn State has decided to cancel its athletics program, but not immediately. To oversee the cancellation, Penn State has hired New England offensive coordinator Bill O'Brien, who will systematically run Penn State's football program into the ground over the course of several sub-.500 seasons with abysmal fan attendance. The resulting financial losses will necessitate the closure of all Penn State athletics programs after a few years. The plan is expected to be fool-proof and have a 100% chance of success." Yet my reply, obviously exaggerated based purely on what I said, you interpret as 100% serious? If you want a contextually interpreted reading of what I said (since you're incapable, apparently ) "I wouldn't mind if the NCAA penalized Penn State, and I wouldn't care if you're correct in predicting that Bill O'Brien brings them a losing record next year." Happy? No one has to burn to the ground, don't worry. Quote:

For the record, I hate what I perceive of this organization and what the irrational passion for football drove these men to do, helping to ruin those children's lives. It doesn't mean I hate you. I think you could live without the program for a few years. Those kids don't get a few years back, and the program, whether by only a few people's hands or otherwise, was unfortunately a direct player in the continued suffering of these kids. Like Dilla said, he's just riding the Brady-Belichick train like all the other coaches that have left here. The only notable thing he's been involved in was an argument with Brady following a rare pick by Tom. |

I think you back-pedaled nicely there, actually. Yes, you did say "not everyone is to blame," but a lot of the language you used strongly suggests that the entirety of the University is blameworthy (for example, the "sleazeball college alum," thanks to the powers of unclear grammar rules, says to me that you think the entire University is a sleazeball factory, but it may also mean that sleazeball refers only to Sandusky).

I was hoping the Lions would knock the Saints off, you gotta give it to Brees, he has a ridiculously accurate arm, and one of the best O lines in the NFL, so he usually has a nice view down field despite being below average height as a QB.
Also weary of the Giants, who seem to be in their typical playoff form. Now to see if Tebow can rekindle the spirit of god for a win over the injury ridden Steelers. i doubt it, but what Seattle did knocking off New Orleans last year, it's not entirely impossible. |
