How do you say "long night"?

Found this little tidbit in the "Notes" section of this post on Blogging The Boys:

The Chargers pass offense played at a faster speed than any opponent I've seen this year. How many times did a Cowboys rusher get within an arm's length of Philip Rivers, only to see him release the ball -- and release it accurately -- before he could be sacked?

Oh, man...wait'll they play us. Drew Brees is like a ghost--you think you have him, and suddenly the ball is 40 yards downfield in Meachem's arms, speeding toward the end zone...and you're being flagged for roughing the passer, because that ball is long gone.

Then again...there was also this:

Romo this December: 60 of 85, 71% completions, 5 touchdown passes, 0 picks, and a 112 passer rating. He has just three picks in his last nine games. The Cowboys are losing this month, but he's the least of the team's worries right now.

We used to have the best pass defense in the league in terms of passer rating allowed...but over the past few weeks we've given up the top spot to the Jets, and our PRA has risen from 57 to 64...thanks to Jason Campbell (111.9 vs. the Saints) and Chris Redman (93.1). What could Romo do if the secondary plays as badly as it has been playing?

Someone is in for a long night.

Romo is not as fast as

Drew Brees when it comes to releasing his passes. I see this game being no different than the last game and we all know how that game came out. Dallas is not as fast as our Saints and we will also have the game in our dome this time

7 or 17 pts won't be enough

to beat the Saints at home. Crygirls avg. 15 ppg. last six including, 7 @ GB and 7 v. Redskins, and beat terrible Russell lead Raiders. Now Ware likely out for Sat. its a long evening for Romo and crew.

Saints are Like a Box of Chocolates!!!!

Never know which team will show up, just knowing that every piece in the box is good makes it worthwhile watching them!!!!!!

I look for a good game, the cowgirls will try & run it down our throats, and keep the Cool Brees off the field. So be it, takes the Saints 5 plays to go 80 yards, and let them march down for another field goal attempt!!!!!

GEAUX SAINTS GEAUX!!!! RAZOOOOO deir A$$!!!!!!!!!!!
