I just saw the Saints inactive list for tonight’s game. Aaron Stecker’s name was NOT on the list. For the first time in a long time. Mark my words…I think Payton will use him as a secret weapon tonight.
Go Saints and WHODAT!!!!!
I don't like all this Brees asskissing.
He’s great—probably the best. But this is just going to jinx us!
Just do what I do when watching from my house in Louisville KY...
Direct your yells and energy at the TV. They WILL hear you, oh yes, they will.
interesting...
I thought us saints fan’s were more ________ then to write out “FIRST”… with nothing else….
Ok, sorry… Just think it’s SLIGHTLY GAY when people do that….. I’ll check back in a bit, cause I can’t post on the open thread n watch the game at the same time, cause I’m not on Andromeda tonight… I’m actually getting to watch, with ALY!!!! (newborn) in HD!!!! be back later…
PS…. xen, don’t take it personal, that’s why I didn’t throw out a direct insult, just think the “act” is slightly gay….
beer thirty!!! saint’s thirty!!!!!! WHO DAT!!!!!!!
Dell must think I am REALLY gay
I was going to type THIRD
Night time on the City of New Orleans
Changin’ cars in Memphis, Tennessee
Halfway home, we’ll be there by mornin’
Thru the Mississippi darkness rollin’ down to the sea
Don't be a hater
Hey, I know saints fans are used to not being able to write first, but this year is different!
According to ESPN
Us Saints fans are “just average”. They rank Saints fans 15th.
Here’s the excerpt:
“Bourbon Street is close by and that means the tailgate parties start Saturday afternoon. The party atmosphere fuels the Superdome. When the Saints are playing well, this can be one of the league’s loudest venues. Before Hurricane Katrina, there were rumblings the Saints could be a candidate for a move. But the team became a rallying point for the entire Gulf Coast in the aftermath of the storm and the fan base is now stronger than ever.”
— Pat Yasinskas

espn is dumb
they also think Bobby Hebert is the best Saint of all time when he wasn’t even in the top 10 on his own team.
Port of Call
Should put better TVs. That would complete my place as the best bar to watch a saints game! I also enjoy ACME.
I hope
saintsational doesn’t tailgate. I saw where a car jumped a curb and ran into a group of people tailgating, sending some to the hospital.
why can we not ever get a call? EVER??????????????????????????/
Other teams have the advantage in the dome.
what the hell
Was that first play an end around? I was typing. NFL.com shows DH with 1 carry, 1 reception
Tonight's FF action.............
I need Brees and Moore to make up 7 against Reggie.
Tony offends me by making fun of saints fans.
The crowd sounds LOUD tonight!
With WhoDat cheers already going on, I anticipate a lot of TO’s for the vikes….
watch the Saints O-line on shotgun plays
it seems to me that Brown is very close to false starting FYI
definitely
but they let these go against the other team.
Bottom line is the Vikes need to make a tackle and an extended arm shouldn’t be the difference.
Stupid ref is messing with our momentum!
yeah, just rewound it on TIVO - good call by ref
but Karney didn’t need to block like that – he should have just run through the dude instead of diving at him
Tony
making fun of reggie’s “warning track power.”
I think tony can’t even bunt a decent MNF color commmentary.
we need to find another kicker anyway
martin can’t kick under pressure. That is why TB got rid of him.
I think that's right
it’s in his head now. Hey, Carney should be available again soon and he is hot as hell.
and Tony is right
We were 5 yards from a TD and that bullshit holding call screwed us huge. 14 point swing.
wow ouch
two times we shoulda had a first down and we murphed it both times and then the BLOCK! hang tough saints
that leads me to think back to the post that saintsational wrote earlier today about Morton Anderson...
That woulda been a chipshot for him!!!!!
Looked to me
Like he led into Steckers head with his helmet. But of course they didnt see or call it
remember
the philly playoff game with bush getting lit up

I don't know about this head butting incident
Frerotte is not that bad. That incident was not that exciting. What about the dood from Jax who chopped his leg with an axe in the locker room? That seems like the dumbest thing ever.
hey bayou rebel
try pausing your TIVO feed until you synch up the radio and Satellite feeds. It takes an effort but it could work – my brother in law has made that work
that was a -3 point onside kick, lucky the damage wasn't more than that
How about them Falcons? Thought they’d be 0-4 right now.
yeah, too bad we're not taking care of the ball too well
the DEFENSEis doing GREAT, but the offense needs to get its head back in the game. Fundamentals – throw, catch, block, convert third downs. And PT is our MVP
Convinced
The refs are out to get the Saints
by Steve the fan on Oct 6, 2008 8:40 PM CDT up reply actions
Hell since Payton can't rip the officials post game....
He should’ve chewed his Ass til he got a 15 yard penelty during the game…. What the hell is pointing to the Jumbotron gonna do…….
This game is really getting me pissy….
Time for another bud light..
need to rise above it
Getting screwed, but D needs to stand tall. Too bad, since Reggie actually looks really good so far
there's a difference
1 or 2 missed or no calls is OK, but this is getting ridiculous
by Steve the fan on Oct 6, 2008 8:43 PM CDT up reply actions
lets keep a cool head
this game is still within our reach – if we lose our cool now, it won;t be that way for long
Man I hope you guys crush the Viqueens!!!
They way too arrogant at the beginning of this year!
GO BRONCOS!!!
Not surprising!!!
Shanny is 3-12 now at Arrowhead.
That’s how bigtime rivalries work…it’s never an easy game!
GO BRONCOS!!!

that was risky as hell
nice play Reggie
3rd and 22 became 1st down
I think the Saints are more in control of this game if they can settle down and quit making mistakes. Half time adjustments needed.
Tony K: “The vikings are going to go in at halftime, and they’re going to giggle. They’re just going to giggle. How are we winning this game??” Moron.
BS that ball was coming out before his knee touched. That’s a fumble and Hochuli blew the play dead AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GET HIM OUT OF THE NFL>>>>>>>!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
BULLSHIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
BULLSHIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
BULLSHIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
BULLSHIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ed Hochuli did not sound very convincing.
the ball was out on replay
The refs are conspiring to cost us this game
by Steve the fan on Oct 6, 2008 9:13 PM CDT up reply actions
Ugh
Alright, I don’t get to see too many games living in DC (now in Baltimore actually) but this is an insanely frustrating game. Little to no Deuce (despite him being effective) and an uncharacteristically bad Offense. This game is killing me and I think I am driving my neighbors crazy.
No team can win...
…with that many turnovers and penalties. The Saints have looked good on both sides of the ball, but they need to be focused and disciplined if they want to win the game.
oh wow. It's THAT ref.
This hockalee (i don’t know how to spell it) is reffing. That guy is a moron. He can’t even get calls right on instant replay.
Hochuli kind of mumbled that nonfumble call and switched off his mic real quick. Less confidence than Frerotte.
More BS than the tuck rule
The ball was coming out but it was in his hand so no fumble?
by Steve the fan on Oct 6, 2008 9:34 PM CDT up reply actions
seriously! It's like Benson is the only one not in on the deal.
Remember when we got a couple calls? We almost made the superbowl.
expect
a heavy does of peterson in the 2nd half. Keep stopping him like we have and we’ve got a chance.
Only a guess
Payton is saving him for the long haul supposedly.
by Steve the fan on Oct 6, 2008 9:36 PM CDT up reply actions
Harper
is a beast, but I’m worried that Peterson is going to run wild in the second half
Hey, it's a Honda
with some extra accessories! I like the MDX a lot but I can’t decide if it can be a manly enough car.
man that's a crock
of shit. Deuce is READY to play. Watch he goin somewhere else next year and have a pro bowl year
our D is getting tired
and they could grind us out in the 2nd half. We need a STOP and then a TD drive by Brees and Co.
Reverse Psychology
Maybe if we can talk negative the Saints will get upset and prove us wrong
dude is pressing
Coach must of been riding that ass at the half
by Steve the fan on Oct 6, 2008 9:40 PM CDT up reply actions
dood, the refs are AWFUL!!!!
They are paid off or something. The Saints will NEVER get a call like that.
They need to give Payton his money back
for the whole criticizing the refs thing. They deserve it!!!!!!!!
I love Deuce and all
but he is no threat and Vikings know it. Bush has got to be on the field. O is totally different without him out there.
You can put Bush on the end and use him as a distraction and run it up the middle with Deuce. Deuce has what, 2 carries? He is a back that will wear you down. Hopefully he is not done (due to the surgeries) but he has been effective this year when given the ball. Maybe the Payton sees something I don’t.
I think I read
something that Peyton said during the week where the Vikes have one of the better run Ds in the league and one of the worst pass Ds, so they were game planning for more of a passing game. May be why they haven’t been pushing the run.
By the way, I am assuming this is an adult, male forum that we are in
Sorry about the profanity but I am pissed
nice stiff arm, Reggie. He pushed that defender BACK
TonyK: Bush is no faster than other NFL players. IDIOT
good point and nicely put
Drew went over just to check in with Goodwin, rather than chewing his ass out. Where are the half time adjustments????
seriously
Kornhole doesnt know crap. Bush can freakin boogy.
Goodwin kind of sucks. We need to replace him.
Master...
of puppets I’m pulling your strings…
I'm surprised
hochuli didn’t call that an incomplete pass
If Drew Brees were 6'4''
he would be the next Messiah
Hate those IBM commercials
You’re out of the woods
You’re out of the dark
You’re out of the light (?)
Wizard of Oz. Probably in public domain now.
I know
It was like jump, BOOM to the House, no chance even with an angle.
by Steve the fan on Oct 6, 2008 10:29 PM CDT up reply actions
you mean, kick it out of bounds short? That’s the only way to stop him from returning it. Either side of the field, he’s under it.
Pretty ballsy throw
he knew he was going to get lit up
What can be said about my boy Reggie now???
Seriously, I’ve been hearing sooo long about how he’s a bust and this and that, I don’t wanna hear it anymore. The guy is sick every where, satellite, wideback, receiver back or running receiver or what. watch him score the winning TD.
Now our offense needs to start, and then finish a drive with a TD
And give the D a well-deserved rest
Berrian is really fast
porter had decent coverage. there was zero saftey help.
JD would have been 5 yards back
Why does sean p
forget about DEEEEEEUUUUUUUUUUUUCE
I bet he gets more action in later games.
Our Oline kind of blows and they have 2 of the top 10 DT’s in the league. Deuce isnt going to be effective tonight.
That
is what we missed in the first 3 games
SHould have done this in Denver. Run Deuce. He’s tough in short yardage and does not fumble. And let that clock run.
The only thing I can think
is that Martin has money on the points and needs it be exact so he can cover.
by Steve the fan on Oct 6, 2008 10:54 PM CDT up reply actions
that hurts - he was trying so hard to not miss it the way he did at Denver
wide right, that he missed it left
if you let them score on the first play, you have 1 minute and two timeouts
by bayoumaverick on Oct 6, 2008 11:01 PM CDT up reply actions
I can't believe the mistakes tonight
the refs were awful. The saints fucked up every good thing they did. This is another thow away. This is the 2nd season of multiple throwaway games that we lost. How could we waste this?
oh well
another year of being a Saint fan. I guess I should be use to this type shit, but for some reason, I always think it’s going to be different
I feel like
Charlie Fuckin Brown trying to kick that damn ball. Waisted two Reggie Bush kick returns
brees has 330 yards
without his two starting recievers and tight end.
their kick coverage does suck..
some positives
this game doesnt affect our playoff chances (unless some goofy tiebreaker)
bush looked great and is getting in his groove
devery looked great
dline looked great
if we play this well in future games we are going to win, this kind of snakebit bad luck cant last
Too many penalties, too many turnovers, too many bad calls by refs, and an offense that went
scoreless and punchless for too long in the middle of the game. Such a shame to waste those TD returns from Reggie. WOW. This one is tough to swallow. I’m not sure what to do about Gramatica. I just think it’s too much in his head now. Reminds me of Russell Erxleben who kicked for us in the late 70’s/early 80’s. He was just AWFUL. If we can’t count on him to hit the clutch ones, he’s no good to us, I’m afraid.
first impressions
Porter took a nasty fall on his arm and I’m wondering how bad that might be….he was looking like a very reliable corner.
The Saints simply put themselves in an unwinnable situation, basically spotting the Vikings 17 points in the first half.
They need to seriously think about Grammatica. He’s old, he’s basically missed field goals that account for 2 of the saints 3 losses.
It’s early in the season, but now the MUST win most if not all of the remaining division games to have a shot.
if we win ALL of the remaining divisional games that put us undefeated in division....
Highly unlikely, even for the most optimistic of saints fans
looks like we better finish better then washington & minnisota....
cause we’ll be on the outside looking in, when the end of the season comes….Those were two very brutal & winnable games that we’ll have to look back at when or if we blow it & choke away our playoff hopes…
Regardless of our divisional foe’s records being all over .500% I still think outside of the west, we’ve got the weakest NFC division…which will hurt us later on… The greenbay game is gonna be highly important….
Last note of the night…
This team needs to get healthy if we’ve got any bit of a shot of making the playoffs..
gotta get better kicker...
I’m hurt, again we gave up this game. I got emotional about Reggie and thought it we had enough momentum to carry it through. Some of you guys need to chill out on the insults too, get emotional but don’t start insulting fellow saints fans. We all get excited, win or lose show some respect. To the rest of you guys, it was great watching the game with ya, I didn’t post much but followed. We got the Raiders next week…see ya then
No White Guys At Safety
Kaesvaharn sucks anus, he is slow, he got burned on the touchdown from Taylor, and that retarded “rape” of defense on a uncatchable ball at the end. WOW. The best offense in the league always somehow shoots itself in the foot, INT here, fumble here, Dropped pass here. WHY O WHY.
