For a moment there I was in a panic
I suddenly realized that Joey Heatherton…I mean, sorry, Harrington…is back in Detroit, but he’s playing for US this time!
Then I saw he was inactive. I hope that removes the gris-gris Detroit put on us without anyone noticing.
This is your second-to-last chance, Gibbs.

Payton is establishing the running game.

whoa Saints scored already? Take that, Baldinky!

That's 1 of 1
They have to score on every possession. Come on, guys.
This is your second-to-last chance, Gibbs.

props to peyton for finally having a positive play come out of one of those damn reverses.

Use them early
and remove the temptation later in the game

Hello Fellow Saints Fans
I hate meaningless games in December, hopefully we can be part of history today.

Johnson is that good.

Johnson is the only threat and yet in single coverage. Why the hell is he not double covered? Gibbs sucks.

I'm guessing, guessing, they've seen enough of PT and know he's RB1 next year

Do you think that Deuce will be back next year
He already re-structured his contract this year, I would cut charles grant over him

We were lucky to have Lance Moore this year. Nobody else really stepped up.

PayLoo had better have another Stecker type back in the development pipeline, that’s all I’m saying.

At least Payton is letting him go out in style

Need to start hitting Calvin Johnson at the line. I know he’s big but he’s too dangerous not to beat him up.

An 85-yard scoring drive
That is shameful. Roman Harper may have played his way off the team.
This is your second-to-last chance, Gibbs.

All of the Safties should be cut
The new Defensive Cooordinator is going to have to revamp this secondary. We are awful

Its going to be a shootout folks
The defense is just awful and really the reason we are where we are this year
by SpindianSaints on Dec 21, 2008 12:56 PM CST reply actions 0 recs
how was that interference
because he lean on him? he was going for the ball
by stujo4 on Dec 21, 2008 12:56 PM CST reply actions 0 recs
Supposedly, with the ball in the air, there is no contact allowed
but they let it slide on that Colston play earlier.
by Steve the fan on Dec 21, 2008 12:57 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs
nfl.com
Actions that do not constitute pass interference include but are not limited to:
(a) Incidental contact by a defender’s hands, arms, or body when both players are competing for the ball, or neither player is looking for the ball. If there is any question whether contact is incidental, the ruling shall be no interference.
by stujo4 on Dec 21, 2008 1:00 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs
I need to see it again. I thought Harper touched the ball.
by stujo4 on Dec 21, 2008 1:00 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs
The Lions entire offense is Johnson and Smith
That’s it. Two guys. And we let drive and score. If there is a God, Gibbs will not be the Saints’ Defensive Coordinator next year.
by Steve the fan on Dec 21, 2008 12:56 PM CST reply actions 0 recs
That would be the only possible positive outcome from this
This is your second-to-last chance, Gibbs.
by MtnExile on Dec 21, 2008 12:58 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs
God, I hope so
I’ve been concerned that the defense has appeared to play well enough at times that they’ll be able to use the “we’ve been so banged up and the D has been improving…” defense
