Carolina Panthers 14 @ New Orleans Saints 16: The View from Section 140

I remember him grimacing after the play.

I love the pictures and comments, although I think you have too many don’t have enough Saintsations photos….

There, fixed that for ya! j/k… :-)

It nice for those who can’t be there to have a different perspective, sort of an insider. I appreciate you stopping what you are doing to take pics for us Dave!

Chase would mess his jersey pants if he had to run a fake field goal play. He’d make that Mark Brunell abortion last year look like the Verizon Play Of The Week.

I think you’re probably right, but I wouldn’t be totally shocked if they’ve lost some faith in Morestead as holder as well. I’m also not convinced Kyle is doing as great a job on accurate snaps either.

None of this absolves Hartley. He’s got plenty of skill but his mental state is off in weirdoville or something. A smart kicker will still do his kick the exact same way every time and not rush it and pull it like he did in all three of his misses. For example, there was a flat out horrid snap in the Bengals Browns game this weekend and Nugent still drilled the kick by just waiting an extra half second for the ball to get in place and then doing everything else exactly as normal.

all of our opponents have game film on our championship run
i’m sure everyone is out there doing what they can to mitigate what made us so successful last year
the saints just need to find another way to win and so far they have been

cant wait to see the injury report this week

Newsflash: Any real injury will be glossed over, minimized, covered up and obscured unless they have to put someone on IR. Unless you’re assuming that more detective (guess) work must be done after the injury report is published.

But yeah, it does have a feeling of more PR than substance. Someone commented on some other blog that the NFL could do a lot better by simply donating the money that is used to buy all the one-off gear. I have to agree.

It’s distracting and annoying. And does it really do anything for the cause? My husband and I were saying the same thing: one pink ribbon stitched on the jerseys would be just fine. And more sincere, as you said.

My first thought was more money to be made by auctioning off game worn apparel. Hopefully with the proceeds going to the Susan G. Kobra uh what’s her name fund thing for cancer research. But yeah, who wants to own Sed’s pink gloves for $500?

It should have been Fat Pink Kicker.

The NFL doesn’t pay for all that stuff, the companies (Reebok, Gatorade, etc.) do. But I get what you’re saying and THOSE companies should just donate the money used instead.

He said he was just trying to mix things up.

Seen him twice I think. There are a few seats around me that always seem to have different people. The two directly to my write I’m almost positive are owned by WWL. Alex Brown’s wife has been sitting regularly in the first of the section over from me. The Voodoo Man sits in front of me just to my left. A very fun family sits directly behind me and are there every single game.

Dave trying to give people some scents of what it’s like to be where he is.
