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.

by stujo4 on Dec 21, 2008 12:05 PM CST reply actions  

whoa Saints scored already? Take that, Baldinky!

by stujo4 on Dec 21, 2008 12:08 PM CST reply actions  

That's 1 of 1

They have to score on every possession. Come on, guys.

This is your second-to-last chance, Gibbs.

by MtnExile on Dec 21, 2008 12:10 PM CST reply actions  

Of course

set up by a fantastic kick return by the recently activated Skyler Green

by BayouRebel on Dec 21, 2008 12:11 PM CST reply actions  

yay

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

by fruly on Dec 21, 2008 12:11 PM CST reply actions  

Use them early

and remove the temptation later in the game

by BayouRebel on Dec 21, 2008 12:17 PM CST up reply actions  

Well, anybody?

Was it a catch? I don’t have the game.

This is your second-to-last chance, Gibbs.

by MtnExile on Dec 21, 2008 12:19 PM CST up reply actions  

Yep

another unsuccessful challenge

by BayouRebel on Dec 21, 2008 12:21 PM CST up reply actions  

Hello Fellow Saints Fans

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

by SpindianSaints on Dec 21, 2008 12:20 PM CST reply actions  

you mean AVOID being part of history

we did our part, breaking the Rams’ 0-8 streak

by stujo4 on Dec 21, 2008 12:21 PM CST up reply actions  

Defense

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

by Steve the fan on Dec 21, 2008 12:22 PM CST reply actions  

yay

howwwww are we not going to keep safety help over the top of calvin johnson on ever play?

by fruly on Dec 21, 2008 12:22 PM CST reply actions  

Bad news is, Lions are the kind of team that Payton’s trick plays work against, more often

by stujo4 on Dec 21, 2008 12:25 PM CST reply actions  

Deuce

just ripped one for about 20

by BayouRebel on Dec 21, 2008 12:25 PM CST reply actions  

yea

probably trying to decide to cut or resign deuce for alot less

by fruly on Dec 21, 2008 12:27 PM CST reply actions  

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

by stujo4 on Dec 21, 2008 12:35 PM CST reply actions  

PT = “Little Deuce”??

by stujo4 on Dec 21, 2008 12:37 PM CST reply actions  

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

by stujo4 on Dec 21, 2008 12:38 PM CST up reply actions  

i want

a HUGEEE back. like 250+ lbs

by fruly on Dec 21, 2008 12:41 PM CST up reply actions  

It seems that back is Mike Bell. 6-0, 225#

by stujo4 on Dec 21, 2008 1:12 PM CST up reply actions  

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

by stujo4 on Dec 21, 2008 12:44 PM CST reply actions  

I thought JD was going to cover C Johnson.

by stujo4 on Dec 21, 2008 12:47 PM CST reply actions  

Whoever it is

we need more than one guy. And I thought I saw a LB on him once.

by Steve the fan on Dec 21, 2008 12:50 PM CST up reply actions  

“Nice open field tackle by Josh Billicks….”

by stujo4 on Dec 21, 2008 12:47 PM CST reply actions  

I think if I was in the booth, I’d go over the rosters before hand.

by stujo4 on Dec 21, 2008 12:48 PM CST up reply actions  

That Kevin Smith is pretty good too

by stujo4 on Dec 21, 2008 12:51 PM CST reply actions  

the audio is really good, that was quite a grunt at the snap

by stujo4 on Dec 21, 2008 12:52 PM CST reply actions  

keep that damned clock running

by stujo4 on Dec 21, 2008 12:53 PM CST reply actions  

nice cutdown by Lake

by stujo4 on Dec 21, 2008 12:54 PM CST reply actions  

crap

My fantasy football opponet has Smith – that penalty really costs me

by SaintBevo on Dec 21, 2008 12:56 PM CST up reply actions  

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.

by MtnExile on Dec 21, 2008 12:56 PM CST reply actions  

All of the Safties should be cut

The new Defensive Cooordinator is going to have to revamp this secondary. We are awful

by SpindianSaints on Dec 21, 2008 12:57 PM CST up reply actions  

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  

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  

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  

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  

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  

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

by SaintBevo on Dec 21, 2008 1:01 PM CST up reply actions  

Fucking Billy Miller would have made that catch. MARK CAMPBELL would’ve caught that.

by stujo4 on Dec 21, 2008 1:03 PM CST reply actions  

ground can’t cause a fumble anyway idiot refs

by stujo4 on Dec 21, 2008 1:08 PM CST reply actions  

Knee hit

way before the ball was loose – not even close

by BayouRebel on Dec 21, 2008 1:08 PM CST up reply actions  

they’re relying on replay too much, getting careless

by stujo4 on Dec 21, 2008 1:08 PM CST reply actions  

The refs suck out loud

Everybody in the f-ing country knew he was down but the ref 4 feet away didn’t see it.

by SaintBevo on Dec 21, 2008 1:08 PM CST reply actions  

We won one!

This is your second-to-last chance, Gibbs.

by MtnExile on Dec 21, 2008 1:08 PM CST reply actions  

how far ahead are you M-E? time is 4:48

by stujo4 on Dec 21, 2008 1:11 PM CST up reply actions  

When it's that obvious

the Ref’s aught to apologize for being idiots.

by Steve the fan on Dec 21, 2008 1:10 PM CST reply actions  

That's what wrong with NFL replay system

We have to waste a challenge to get that reidiculous call overturned

by SaintBevo on Dec 21, 2008 1:11 PM CST up reply actions  

When it's first and goal at the 1

wy do we pass?

This is your second-to-last chance, Gibbs.

by MtnExile on Dec 21, 2008 1:11 PM CST reply actions  

looks to me

like we could name the score on offense

by SaintBevo on Dec 21, 2008 1:11 PM CST reply actions  

M-E Heatheton is dressed! Thought you said he was inactive.

by stujo4 on Dec 21, 2008 1:13 PM CST reply actions  

stuck watching updates on NFL.com

how much yardage does brees need for the record??

Football is about glory, it is about doing things in style and with a flourish, about going out and beating the other lot, not waiting for them to die of boredom.

Check out that kick!!

How long since we’ve seen a touchback/

by SaintBevo on Dec 21, 2008 1:14 PM CST reply actions  

yeah he put the last one 2 yds deep in the end zone

by stujo4 on Dec 21, 2008 1:15 PM CST up reply actions  

Why do we pay Will Smith so much money

when it’s Jeff Charleston who gets the sack?

This is your second-to-last chance, Gibbs.

by MtnExile on Dec 21, 2008 1:16 PM CST reply actions  

Why ...

are you here? Why are any of us here? I believe it was John Paul Satre who said…How do you spell Satre?"

by SaintBevo on Dec 21, 2008 1:20 PM CST up reply actions  

Hoodie put up 28 points on Arizona in a snowstorm

by stujo4 on Dec 21, 2008 1:23 PM CST reply actions  

another touchback, Hartley is very competent

by stujo4 on Dec 21, 2008 1:28 PM CST reply actions  

I think

we may have the kicker for the future

by BayouRebel on Dec 21, 2008 1:29 PM CST up reply actions  

Harper

you gotta knock that ball down

by SaintBevo on Dec 21, 2008 1:29 PM CST reply actions  

Fuck you Baldinker and Sharpe

by stujo4 on Dec 21, 2008 1:30 PM CST reply actions  

and The Wichita Eagle

by stujo4 on Dec 21, 2008 1:30 PM CST up reply actions  

I think everyone picked the Lions

by stujo4 on Dec 21, 2008 1:30 PM CST up reply actions  

we’re 7-7, and I’m pissed. Getting too old for this.

by stujo4 on Dec 21, 2008 1:32 PM CST up reply actions  

no one recognizes our potential, they only dwell on the flaws and assume they’ll prevail

by stujo4 on Dec 21, 2008 1:33 PM CST up reply actions  

Well...

…Saints may had earned that from the past two years, no?

by FrenchFreak on Dec 21, 2008 1:34 PM CST up reply actions  

Fuck off Michael Strahan

by stujo4 on Dec 21, 2008 1:38 PM CST reply actions  

How about we interview your ex-wife

by stujo4 on Dec 21, 2008 1:38 PM CST up reply actions  

Gibbs is retarded.

Their offense is Smith and Johnson. Stop them and let the other guys get whatever. Not that hard.

by Steve the fan on Dec 21, 2008 1:48 PM CST reply actions  

Skyler Green can’t handle punts, only kickoffs?

by stujo4 on Dec 21, 2008 1:51 PM CST reply actions  

anybody watching the NE-Arizona game too?

Warner looks absolutely horrible – 30 yards passing in the 3rd quarter

“Here ya go, ladies…”

by stujo4 on Dec 21, 2008 2:00 PM CST up reply actions  

Can someone just explain what happened on the last two plays?

NFL.com is, I think, screwed up.

This is your second-to-last chance, Gibbs.

by MtnExile on Dec 21, 2008 2:00 PM CST reply actions  

1-15-NO 30 (10:32) 9-D.Brees pass deep right to 19-D.Henderson to NO 6 for -24 yards (21-T.Fisher).
2-39-NO 6 (9:37) 9-D.Brees pass short left to 12-M.Colston for 94 yards, TOUCHDOWN.

by stujo4 on Dec 21, 2008 2:02 PM CST up reply actions  

should be 69 yard pass to Devery

by stujo4 on Dec 21, 2008 2:03 PM CST up reply actions  

6 yd pass to Colston

by stujo4 on Dec 21, 2008 2:03 PM CST up reply actions  

You're not watching?

Go here http://www.homertv.net/ and wait for the link on the right side.

by Steve the fan on Dec 21, 2008 2:02 PM CST up reply actions  

I don't even SEE the Saints on either of those sites

Most websites are absolute shit. It’s not worth it to deal with them, even to watch the Saints.

This is your second-to-last chance, Gibbs.

by MtnExile on Dec 21, 2008 2:08 PM CST up reply actions  

You are such an impatient old man, M-E. These young guys wait and wait for the link to come up in the chat. I’m reaping big rewards here. Get to see all the 24 commercials and the promo for Hunny Bunny’s new show which is another Fox ripoff of CBS’s the mentalist.

by stujo4 on Dec 21, 2008 2:09 PM CST up reply actions  

??

yeah, it had devery herderson deep for minus 24 yard reception and then colston td for 84 yards

by Philinwood on Dec 21, 2008 2:01 PM CST reply actions  

nice, Billy

Took a shot and got up too, bonus

I wouldn’t want to cover Colston either, pal.

that’s 6 for 6, bitch.

by stujo4 on Dec 21, 2008 2:15 PM CST reply actions  

Hard to justify

Brees being in this game too much longer

by SaintBevo on Dec 21, 2008 2:17 PM CST reply actions  

WHAT?

“Don’t you realize how important this record is to me…. uh, I mean, to Drew?” -Payton

by stujo4 on Dec 21, 2008 2:18 PM CST up reply actions  

Not really

he could get all 750ish yards in this game

by Steve the fan on Dec 21, 2008 2:22 PM CST up reply actions  

I am so sick of hearing about that meaninless record

Mens sqaut. ask Marino, Russell… our Drew in 2 weeks

by FrenchFreak on Dec 21, 2008 2:20 PM CST reply actions  

Yep, Bell is that back.

by stujo4 on Dec 21, 2008 2:22 PM CST reply actions  

Drew Brees is only 5’ 11.28"

by stujo4 on Dec 21, 2008 2:24 PM CST reply actions  

ouch
but the video does not lie

Like to see a pass competition between him and Chad Pennington

by stujo4 on Dec 21, 2008 2:26 PM CST up reply actions  

Love that Billy Miller

by stujo4 on Dec 21, 2008 2:27 PM CST reply actions  

any chance of an update on yards needed by brees from right now?

merci mes amis

Well, there goes my prediction

But that’s okay…it was beginning to be downright cruel.

This is your second-to-last chance, Gibbs.

by MtnExile on Dec 21, 2008 2:31 PM CST reply actions  

He loves Da Chronic

by stujo4 on Dec 21, 2008 2:34 PM CST reply actions  

I think that would be best. He should be able to walk after retirement, it’s only right.

by stujo4 on Dec 21, 2008 2:51 PM CST reply actions  

Don't gloat too much

He’s sure to bring up that thing called “record.” But if they lose next week and we win, THEN I’ll help you.

This is your second-to-last chance, Gibbs.
