No Yes No |
| carolinasaintsfan |
1. Reggie gets a much needed TD 2. Sharper gets a big interception 3. Kolb is replaced by Garcia. I know this pick is pretty lame. |
Yes Game changing? No. Very long? Yes No |
| FriarBob |
1. Shockey continues to make hay while the sun shines (4+ catches, 40+ yards) and has at least one play when he lays some wood on an attempted tackler (blocking for a teammate who’s not in the backfield counts so long as he violently knocks the guy over). 2. Both defenses make a fair number of good plays. Both have at least one RB tackle for loss and at least one sack. Total picks between the two is at least three. 3. Iggles fans regret their merciless treatment of McNabb after the game. This can be one of two ways. Kolb plays most/all of the game and looks really bad again (2+ picks, <60% completion), or McNabb plays through the pain and looks at least decent (<3 picks, 2+ TDs counting goal-to-go handoffs, >40% completion rate, >200 yards). |
Close Yes No |
| Bye, Dawk :( | 1. Eagles LDE’s feast all day on Jonathan Stinchcomb, as they get constant pressure on Brees all day. 2. The Eagles intercept Drew Brees twice and recover a Brees fumble 3. Big day for Brent Celek, as he exploits the Saints weak linebackers. |
No No Yes |
| Juncti |
1. Mike Bell continues where he left off creating a silly argument over the RB position (I say more healthy RB’s the better, keep putting fresh legs in there, why are we debating either/or) 2. Defense bends, allows some seemingly easy Philly offense early, but then snaps back and clamps down as the game proceeds. 3. Special teams improves and we see at least one notable play from the re-signed Roby. |
No No No |
| GlackandBold |
1. Eagles defense makes Brees look human, but he gets the job done 2. Saints defense makes Kolb look less than human, rating < 75 3. Saints special teams do not give up a return over 40 yards |
Yes No No |
| SaintsFan-KS |

Alright, I admit I didn’t actually get my #3 prediction correct (not because the iggles fans aren’t regretting their disdain for McNabb right about now, but because Kolb had 61% completion rate which was off by 2%)… but I was pretty stinking close. Shouldn’t I have at least made the poll?
I was told last week that there should be no "close" or "half"
and that predictions are either right or wrong.
If you guys want to adjust the rules, that’s fine with me.

OK I wasn’t aware of that. I doubt that I would have chosen that rule but if that’s what everybody else wants I guess I can understand it.
I mean, it wasn't overwhelming
it was something someone mentioned. I’m not trying to difficult. I think it should be discussed. Just keep in mind I am trying to keep my workload down here.

Oh and Juncti’s #2 should definitely be a yes. I mean, come one, what else do you call an easy TD pass on blown coverage and then squeezing down pretty hard for two quarters? Granted they relaxed a bit in a bend-but-don’t-break fashion late, but he didn’t say whether that say or would not happen at all so it shouldn’t count against him.
Kolb threw for 200 yards in the second half
granted, it didn’t get many points, the defense still gave up a crap ton of yardage. Too borderline. Doesn’t matter, only gives him one yes anyway.

whudatnation
Gets my vote. 57 yards off on the passing total and closest without going over on total TDs (note that he didn’t specify passing TDs). Also, predicting that BOTH Bush and Bell would get rushing TDs is especially bold, considering that the entire team had none last week.

rec'd
even if he doesn’t win the poll, his props still deserve rec
know what you believe in and why you believe in it
Wow
I thought I was the only one who shared that rationale. No offense to bayoumaverick, but I thought the specificity of whudatnation, even if not 3 for 3, was the best. Plus, while the passing numbers weren’t exact, they weren’t really that far off.

I Can't Believe that I'm not on of the choices
But seriously I witnessed first hand the most complete annihilation of the Eagles maybe ever. There never was a time during that game that the Saints didn’t seem in control. Made the post game tailgate a bit of a bummer. Props to the Saints and good luck the rest of the season. Hoping the Eagles get a chance for some payback in the playoffs.
I'm not drunk I'm just drinking.
MY PREDICTIONS!
Hey, You could have put me in there too!I
I was right on the money whan I said that Drew Brees would throw 3 Td’s
I said Reggie would have another poor performance. You said no, but Reggie went 10 for 33 yards. One rush was 19 yards. So before the long run he went 9 for 14 yards…you call that a good perfomance, child please!
I said that the defense gets 2 INT’s and 3 Sacks and Score 1 TD. I was 1 sack short of the trifecta!
So what’s up….Show me some love! N’ respect!!
Reggie had 75 yards and a TD
I wouldn’t really call that poor. A couple of poor plays, sure. But not overall.
You WERE one sack short, and I though that was an awesome prediction but like I noted to FriarBob above, it’s either all right or it’s all wrong.
As far as being nominated for voting, I only nominated members with two or more correct predictions.

Pretty generic predictions
This Mavericks fan that lives near the bayou needs to get a little more creative. Who can’t pick those predictions. My predictions for the Buffalo game. The sun will come up. There will be fat dudes with no shirts in Buffalo and um, I don’t know, Brees will throw for 300 yards maybe. Come on. I think bayou maverick should step out on a limb every once in a while. How bout this for a prediction. Mark Cuban will be fined by the nba a couple of times this year.

Whudat's were bolder,
but bayoumaverick’s were 3 for 3, and not completely givens. Brees barely got 300 yards, and doing that every week is not easy anyway. And the Saints winning the turnover battle by 2+, and outrushing the Eagles are definitely not gimmes.
My trifecta's in the bag this week, folks ...
1. Fred Jackson will have more total yards from scrimmage than Reggie Bush.
1. Terrell Owens will have more total yards from scrimmage than Reggie Bush.
1. Lee Evans will have more total yards from scrimmage than Reggie Bush.

Hopefully
I’ll learn how to count to three by the time the new predictions thread is up.

you couldn’t figure out which one you wanted to be first b/c you think they’ll all be true ;P

I am all knowing of Cajun people and their internet nicknames ;)
So i voted for bayoumaverick both because he made some solid picks and because he is a great member of the saints community and consumer of beer.
None of this post is meant to make any sense.
I don't know bout xen-cuts
but bayoumaverick is a bum!
by saints fan in cowboyland! on Sep 23, 2009 12:13 AM CDT reply actions
What is "cowboyland"?
Don’t they claim to be America’s team? Terrible. If Cowboy land is America I’m changing citizenship. And that new stadium can be nicer than nice but it still has NOTHING near it to do and it can’t be nicer than my living room. Sorry, Jerry.
