was frustrating… i think it had to do with play calling as well as execution. i think reggie and pierre in the backfield at the goal line would present match up problems for the defense, but payton never seems to do it. wonder why?

“Excuse me, sir, I’m going to ask you to move over a little bit. We’re trying to get some footage of Gregg Williams.”

“Aww, it’s okay, sweetheart, you can have 400 yards and 40 points from passing next time. You’re still the big winner! Is that a smile I see?”

“Gimme that! You can have the challenge flag back at THE END of the game. IF you can show me you can be trusted with it.”

“You see, this here is the thirty yard line. Now traditional football wisdom suggests that from this point on, you can trust your field goal kicker to get 3 points for your team on fourth down. In fact, that’s pretty much the only reason you have a dedicated field goal kicker on the roster. Of course, three is less than seven, but it’s also more than zero.”

it’s his team, his offense did what it needed to do to win. It was obvious the defense was the big story, it outscored the offense and played awesome, but he defended the defense when the offense was off the charts and now he is doing the converse. And I liked that he went for it on 4th down- just called a bad play. It was better to have Sanchez with his back to the wall than get the 3 points. But I really thought we would convert there. We can and we will next time.

Reggie is ok. He played poorly, but as long as Payton uses him the right way, he’s ok. We won, we are winning, don’t shake it up. Use Reggie like you have been and hope he doesn’t fumble. Oh, and somebody get rid of his sleezy woman, tht might help too.

I feel everyone’s concern with Reggie, but I don’t think anyone was questioning his abilites on that Monday Night performance against the Vikings…2 punt returns for TDs, almost 3…We also need to make sure we never discount the decoy factor that Reggie allows us…Yeah, it may be an expensive one, but it is an huge attribute to our success..I am not a Reggie apologist, just wanted to point out how quickly we forget

“We also need to make sure we never discount the decoy factor that Reggie allows us”

It’s kind of difficult to discount something that’s brought up so frequently. “Ok Steeler fans, let’s not forget what a great downfield blocker Hines Ward is, even when he’s dropping everything thrown in his direction.” Nice sentiment and all, but how many other fans around the league are looking at the zero receptions stat line and thinking “wtf is wrong with Hines Ward?” Bring the entire package consistently and there’s no need for reminder Post-Its.

that they really mean it when they say things like “all that matters is getting the W,” etc.

If we win more games like this, with no real offensive fireworks, I do not want players to start forcing things and messing up our streak.

As we know from Bull Durham….“don’t f&^% with the streak!”

Give credit to the Jets defense.

Why? They had no sacks and no interceptions. I don’t believe they stymied Payton or the Saints. Take away the 2 defensive scores and it would have been a different game. It sure would have. Payton would’ve had to unleash hell. We haven’t seen the whole 2009 playbook yet, fellas. Until the Saints lose, we don’t know yet what this offense can do.

Oh, but of course. Because a lack of two defensive TDs scores would automatically lead to two additional possessions by the Saints. How much more high-powered football action can you cram into 15 seconds, dreamer? And you forgot the best part. You’d walk over, but you’d limp away. Every good story should carry a moral.

i miss that “moron” guy. let’s get him back!

“Is that his wallet sticking out”…. “yes it is”……“is the cop looking”…..“no he isn’t”….“yes”…..“time to move in for the the pick” (pocket) lol

I think that was my 8th grade english teacher in the 1st shot. lol. The hardest part of yesterday’s game wasn’t the Jets D. It was listening to Dan Dierdork. Thank goodness Pierre finally shut him the %$#@ up!

“Yes, Coach, your red flag is right there and ready to toss at an (in)appropriate moment.”

This game is over as I’m concerned we need to focus on the Giants in 2 weeks. Good win for our defense You win SB with Defense

(I would have added this to the earlier comments, but that was too long and too personal.)

Their defense played very well, but hardly at an elite level. They had 0 sacks, 0 INTs, only 3 negative plays (2 TFLs, one FF), barely got pressure on Brees and when they did he made them pay for it. They also allowed 153 yards rushing. Holding Brees to 190 yards passing and no TDs is pretty damn good, but ultimately useless if you give up that much on the ground. They did come up with some big stops, but not nearly enough to stop the Saints offense. Everyone points out that the Saints offense only scored 10 points, but anyone that watched the game knows that could easily have been 20 (field goal instead going for it on 4th and goal, and kneeling on 1st and goal with 1:25 left to play).

It makes me feel better about our offensive effort yesterday. Maybe I needed to see those stats again to reflect. But, I also must add that it sure did seem like a pretty good defensive effort- they bent a lot but didn’t break and, as we saw last year many times, it’s very hard for a defense to play its best when the offense is sabotaging the effort like Sanchez and his boys did.

All in all, I think both sides are right. The Jets defense played well, our offense played better than 10 points indicates, and although I doubt it will happen, if we ever played the Jets again this year i think our offense would probably put up more like 28-35 points.

Are those photos taken with your camera phone? If not what kind do you have and how the heck did you sneak it into the dome?

“that’ll cost u fin” ($5)…or a cold beer. Did he get an upgrade to his costume, is he now charging for $$ for photos? ..As far as game play, would have been OK with a FG to make it 13-10 Saints, but then the sack/fum/recover wouldn’t have happened. T O on downs, thought that was on Payton’s playcalling, Jets D IS Good and i thought they were ready for a run inside. Was thinking Reggie wide, WR screen, or bootleg, Nesbit on 4th? But hey Paytons the coach I’ll take the Win. K did a great job with Touchbacks ,no chance for Leon W.
