Accountability Index Update

by stujo4 on Sep 28, 2010 9:24 AM CDT

Settled a couple, added a few.

Date	Name	Assertion	Remarks	Resolution

Sep 17	Mike Singletary	"We will not try to stop Drew Brees, we will stop Drew Brees. We will not try ... we will move the ball and we will score. Alex (Smith) will be fine Monday night."	Whistling past the graveyard bluster does not score points. Neither does scaring the ref with time out requests.	He got 2 out of 3 unless he meant holding Brees to under 300 passing yards. So why didn't he guarantee a win??
Sep 21	Coldpizza	Predicts a Bucs win at home over the Steelers in Week 3	I don't know where that came from.	Steelers 38, Bucs 13. And it wasn't that close. Except in the 1st quarter.
May 19 July 7 July 15 Sep 7 Sep 7	Dan, jray MtnExile WhatIfSports Jabbadahut99 SaintsFanInIraq	Carolina Panthers are not in steep decline in 2010	Carolina already in panic mode, and that was BEFORE the 0-3 Panters lost 20-7 at home to the Bungals, @Saints next. Does anyone now not agree with "steep decline"? Ask these guys.
Sep 25	coldpizza	Prefers Wynn over TUSK! Implies Wynn is less injury prone than TUSK!	Maybe if he's less fumble prone.
Sep 24	saint-sly	Reggie: Lance Moore can do the same thing in the passing game. TUSK! will make Reggie obsolete.	Looking good on the Lance part. Need more time on the TUSK! part. Time and Jesus1000 intervention.
Sep 22	coldpizza	CP demands vindication for proposing LT2 as the Saints' RB2-3 based on his performance for the Jets.	Rotoworld: The old man simply looks like the better option than the youngster right now. It's clear that we've underestimated how much injuries slowed LT the last two seasons, because now that he's healthy he looks terrific. This will be a committee, but Tomlinson is the clear leader right now.
Sep 21	Saint for life	Hopes Clint Ingram will add stability at LB	Rotoworld.com: He's eligible to return in Week 7, though the Saints won't be counting on Ingram after a slow recovery from what was initially characterized as a "small" microfracture procedure. He many not have much left upon return.
June 28 July 6 July 19 July 19 July 19 Sep 8	Dan Northfan MtnExile Satch Jon08ban Northfan	Questions about Mike Martz's ability to improve Jay Cutler's performance	Rotoworld.com: Jay Cutler completed 16-of-27 passes for 221 yards and one touchdown and one interception to lead the 3-0 Bears past the Packers in Week 3, 20-17. It was vintage Cutler, as he had two interceptions negated on Packers' penalties and made some throws even Brett Favre would question. Cutler's decision making was not enough to lose the game however, and he threw a beautiful 21-yard pass to Greg Olsen on the team's final drive to set up a Robbie Gould game winning 16-yard field goal with four seconds left.
Sep 8	Northfan	As for Matt Forte, you're going to say he's back to his rookie form based on a performance against the RAIDERS?	Rotoworld.com: Matt Forte gained just 29 yards on 11 carries and had only 14 yards on two receptions against the Packers in Week 3. Forte had the same amount of running yardage as he did Week 2 on one more carry. He did look good running the ball early, but was never given a chance to establish a groove on the ground as the Bears had the ball on offense for just 24 minutes. He was targeted only twice in the passing game, and failed to punch the ball in on three straight goal-line carries.
Sep 27	stujo4	Garrett Hartley keeps his active roster spot with the Saints in 2010	Payton likes the fat punk kicker. Me too.
August 4	Frenchie	Malcolm Jenkins will start 13+ games at FS	3 down, 11 to go
Sep 7	John Clayton	Preseason power ranking for Saints: 5th	I thought he was a journalist. Where's the objectivity?
June 28 Sep 7	FriarBob mississippisaintsfan	Falcons more likely to have losing record than Panters	Was this dumber on Jun 28 or Sep 7?
June 16, 18 Sep 7 Sep 9	jeff FriarBob skinnykinney Cajun in CA	Chargers win the AFC west in 2010	1-2 Bolts got beat by the Chiefs who are now 3-0
June 28 July 19 July 20	MtnExile AJG FriarBob	Matt Ryan is a middle of the pack QB	Mooch on NFL Network picked him as his player of the week after beating Saints
June 16	Hans, Dan, Satch	Not too worried about losing Bell. (Hans: PJ Hill not a replacement) Split Bell's carries between all RB's:	TUSK! looking more like Mike Bell, and not in a good way
May 14	VAsaintsfan	Condemned Ricky Williams draft day trade, applauded Tebow draft day trade	As if Tebow had more potential than Ricky. As if.
May 3	Satch	Objection to rotoworld opinion (Jenkins stays at corner) after Sharper's signing for 2010	Depends on Sharper making the team. I agree that Jenkins moves to S as soon as Sharper is off the roster. He's on PUP for 6 weeks. Week 7 resolves this: Cut, benched, or starting at FS.
July 8 July 19	jeff coldpizza Jeremy	Saints will finish as 3rd seed in NFC in 2010	Saints' problems stink worse than Jeremy's baby's diaper pail.
May 17	Frenchie	Believes Payton was addicted to Vicodin and Loomis aided cover-up	Forty Creek fueled raving, but not yet retracted; waiting to be served libel suit papers
July 20	Patrick @ AGH, LLC	2010 Saints running game will fail, causing team to collapse	Probably a Steelers fan; I didn't ask
August 24	VAsaint	Rookie Matt Tennant will be the starting center by midseason	Goodwin's contract is up after this year. He'd have to really suck to lose his job before then.
September 4	stujo4	Roethlisberger will end up in jail	Could be rape, could be DUI. I like my odds.
June 11	Coldpizza	CP thinks PT and Reggie both gone in 2011	Outrageous at first, now looking prophetic. But as long as Payton is coach, Reggie's NFL career is with the Saints.

The July 20th prediction about the run game

seems to be coming true. We haven’t collapsed though so that is good news but our run game is failing badly

Superbowl bound!!!...I know! do you?! Go Saints!!

Ranked 32nd out of 32 teams is pretty darn bad in the run.

Please round up all the Chicken Littles who were convinced that Adrian Arrington is “too good” to clear waivers and flog them unmercifully.

Honestly, I thought Arrington played at LSU! LSU! because of all the fawning. Cat o’ nine tails.

Are you going to add gothicpurple’s comments about Brees to this in your next update? He’s really running his mouth a lot this week…especially for a fan of a team that could be staring at a 1-6 record with their upcoming games, while we are looking very good for 6-1 going into the game with Pittsburgh.

Wait a minute Stu

I think you are going too easy on yourself with your own entry on the list. You said:

Hartley is the Saints’ fat punk kicker for all of 2010.

To me, that implies starting, and not merely an active roster spot. And that was right after you said:

Neither Carney, nor Kris Brown, nor Garrett Lindholm can out kick Garrett Hartley In practice. It won’t happen.

Come on Stu, that’s a prediction of Hartley keeping his starting job for every game.

by VAsaintsfan on Oct 1, 2010 11:12 AM CDT reply actions

I'll amend it

My intention was that he would not be Mehlhaff’d. (cut) He’ll stay on the roster throughout the year but he’ll have to sit a game or two while Carney helps get his head straight.

Carney can’t outkick Hartley. But that doesn’t mean that Carney won’t start as kicker for a game or 2.

Well hell, that’s what I said on the list. Implied. He WILL be the fat punk kicker for 2010. Carney will be the skinny old man coach kicker.

I could partially accept that

But when you say

Garrett Hartley keeps his active roster spot with the Saints in 2010

to me, that means staying active for every game. Not just active on the 53 man roster, but active on the 45 man game day roster. If FPK is declared a gameday inactive, then to me that would be a big red X on your prediction.

pusillanimous pedantry

If that’s what it means to you, then I hope you feel very gratified. You are dismissed.

seems like someone needs to put the Accountability Index

on an Accountability Index.

Just like the line from the awesome graphic novel by Alan Moore/Dave Gibbons…

oh Stu

I wasn’t helping after Week One, and now I’m not helping again, after Week 3.

What’s wrong with me? I helped you name the Darn Thing, after all.

And Stu here’s my “nice guy” aspect kicking in. Just checking in here…That’s twice that you’ve said that to me, and I’m really just playing along, chuckling as I type these comments in the spirit of good will and levity. I hope that’s how they are being received on your end, because if they’re not received that way, I won’t continue them.

Are we good?

It's gonna be a great year.

No more mister "nice guy"!!!

I say we team up against that bully and break him. How about every reply sent his way contains at least one of the following: “Lito Sheppard”, “screwed up retirement plan” or any joke about diapers.

You go first….
