(Special thanks goes to Sean Yuille over at Pride of Detriot for letting me use this awesome open thread graphic. You didn't think I actually could create something cool like this did you?)

It's finally here! The Saints return to the Superdome for the first time this year! And CSC's second open game thread!

Of course, yours truly will be at the game in person, so I will not be able to partake in tonight's open thread, but I do expect some of the regulars to step up and lead the way. Judging from the poll I took the other day, there are some of you who won't be able to watch the game but may like to get your information from this thread. I really look forward to coming home from the game and seeing what all of you guys had to say about the game.

I will try to get my recap of the game by tomorrow morning.

Geaux Saints!!

Jason David

How is he still on the roster?

Did David give up that touchdown?

by stujo4 on Aug 16, 2008 7:38 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs

Yep

The touchdown and the previous plays for first down.

Knocking the helmet off!!

Where's Deuce?

I’m here just following the play by play at NFL.com and it sucks. DirectTV doesn’t show live preseason games in their Sunday Ticket package, so I’ll have to wait until Monday to see this on NFL Network. That long drive just completed for a TD by the Texans is not a good sign for the Saints D. I see they’re giving up a lot of big pass plays. NOT Good!I saw that Deuce only took one snap. Is there any word as to his status?

Go Saints!!!!

by satchmo26 on Aug 16, 2008 7:55 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs

No word on Deuce. I’d like to see more of him, at least a couple more snaps.

Bush just hurdled a guy into the end zone. the defender looked confused afterward.

by jjwest11 on Aug 16, 2008 7:58 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs

Ugh

I just read the post from this afternoon with the free ticket offer! I can’t believe I didn’t look at this blog all day today. I could be at this game right now.

by jjwest11 on Aug 16, 2008 8:08 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs

Deuce

He’s starting to look good. Getting his 5 yard gains, which is what reggie can’t seem to reliably do. Let’s hope he stays healthy.

by jjwest11 on Aug 16, 2008 8:14 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs

DEEEEEUUUUUCE!

I just hope he doesn’t have a setback injury.

Go Saints!!!!

kick that texan’s ass. throwing deuce leg in the air. he should be tossed out the game.

by jjwest11 on Aug 16, 2008 8:19 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs

COLSTON!

NICE!

by jjwest11 on Aug 16, 2008 8:19 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs

Give it to Deuce!

I’d love for him to score a TD here at this 1st and goal from the 5. Oh well, I just heard Colston scored. I’ll gladly accept that.

Go Saints!!!!

by satchmo26 on Aug 16, 2008 8:20 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs

That catch

Was awesome. A one handed catch over the shorter CB on a fade type pass in the endzone.

by Steve the fan on Aug 16, 2008 8:32 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs

Can't wait to see the game

Go Saints!!!!

Wow!! Great. Thanks!

No problem

Was this live??

Please tell me yes! Being in Memphis with bunny ears kills the # of Saints games I get to see.

Drew Shaved

EXCELLENT! No more ugly quarterback. He is the face of the franchise after all.

by jjwest11 on Aug 16, 2008 8:21 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs

At least I can listen now

Just signed up for NFL Field Pass radio. Listening to Bobby Hebert is nice. He’s currently pointing out the woeful continuing problems of the Saints D. He just called out Jason David and said he was having “overwhelmingly bad play.” Sorry Jason, you gotta go!!

Go Saints!!!!

by satchmo26 on Aug 16, 2008 8:31 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs

The defense

Getting run on badly. The problem is not stopping them on third down. Again all Schaub did was look at the WR covered by number 42 and throw to him for an easy reception and first down.

Jason David is completely useless as an NFL CB.

by Steve the fan on Aug 16, 2008 8:35 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs

god

we’re getting run all over.

FIRE GARY GIBBS

by Steve the fan on Aug 16, 2008 8:45 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs

The D must be fixed!

Still, I’m thinking that the three joint practices between these two teams last week must have helped the Texans tonight more than the Saints. The Texans are shredding the Saints D and further exposing weaknesses that must be fixed before September 7.

Go Saints!!!!

by satchmo26 on Aug 16, 2008 8:50 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs

Exactly

Unless the Saints are sandbagging. (which I doubt)

by Steve the fan on Aug 16, 2008 8:54 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs

Deuce must done

I’m glad. I think he had a pretty good night considering. My worst fear didn’t come true—Deuce injuring a knee.

Go Saints!!!!

by satchmo26 on Aug 16, 2008 8:52 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs

Deuce

Looked good out there.

by Steve the fan on Aug 16, 2008 8:55 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs

Finally!

A Houston punt!

Go Saints!!!!

Awesome catch!!!

Brunell to Moore!!

Go Saints!!!!

by satchmo26 on Aug 16, 2008 9:09 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs

Great catch

Lance Moore. Devery would have dropped it.

by Steve the fan on Aug 16, 2008 9:09 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs

Moore, Stecker, and Brunell

Glad to have them!

by jjwest11 on Aug 16, 2008 9:09 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs

Yay Dudley!

Go Saints!!!!

by satchmo26 on Aug 16, 2008 9:11 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs

One thing is for sure

Brunell is much better than Jamie Martin was last season. Still, I hope Brees stays healthy.

Go Saints!!!!

by satchmo26 on Aug 16, 2008 9:13 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs

Tracey Porter

has got some problems.

by jjwest11 on Aug 16, 2008 9:14 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs

Yeah,

but this is his first game so I’m willing to cut him some slack. Jason David needs to be traded to a team that incorporates the Tampa 2 scheme. He’ll never be a good man-man coverage CB.

Go Saints!!!!
