Giants 24 @ Saints 49: The View from Section 140 in Pictures

by Dave Cariello on Nov 30, 2011 6:00 AM CST

The much improved flow of traffic outside the stadium.

No more male and female lines.

That is Saturday Night Live's Jason Sudekis in the blue hat.

I don't always go to Saints games. But when I do, I get pre-game sideline passes.

I have no idea who this guy is.

Took this one on my way back from the bathroom.

Rough job. What's a six-letter word for "crappy NY football team?"

This was the dude who wound up trading seats after getting yelled at by the people behind me. Thank you!

I think she may be a repeat from an earlier "View from."

Whatcha got in the bag, Marshall?

Sproles about to return a punt.

Saints special teams ready for the kickoff.

Young adults participating in the punt-pass-kick competition.

Fiddling with the fancy camera during halftime.

Even with the crutches Payton still has that distinctive stride.

Payton watches the action closely.

The Giants about to kick it off.

Drew celebrates with Chase after his diving touchdown.

Why is #88 so wide open?

This guy was very excited to be reading his religious book during the MNF game.

I have no idea who this guy is.

Sure could pass for a twin of George Hamilton back in the day…same profile (without the furrowed brow) and fake tan. Uh, Mr. Dave, we don’t really care about ‘repeats’ when it comes to the ‘tradition’ pics. Just keep sharing!

Judging by the pic of the guy who was sitting in front of you.....

no wonder he wanted to stand instead of sit, lol.

Answer to the Q " Why is 88 so wide open ?"

Because Patrick Robinson is 10 – 12 yards off the line of scrimmage. Momentarily, the receiver will catch the ball, Robinson will dive at his feet and miss, and the receiver will ramble for 10 yards down field.

Anyone know why

P-Rob is always lined up 10 yards off his man, sometimes even on short yardage downs? I assume if he’s not supposed to be doing that Williams would’ve corrected it by now. At least I would hope so.

AND...

He stares into the backfield like Jason M.F. David.

Or, he starts running to the line as the ball is snapped, and the WR is passed him in less than 1 second.

Exactly...

I don’t know why the the coaching staff and most fans are so high on Robinson. I just don’t see it.

I think he's improved some

He’s especially good at reading WR screens and breaking through blockers to bust them. I just don’t understand why we aren’t jamming more at the line since we keep getting gashed underneath. Not to mention the fact that we routinely ignore RBs catching passes out of the backfield.

He improved a bit in the middle of the season so far, but he regressed back to his old ways.

Maybe he’s not getting the practice he needs, now that Porter is back to CB2 most of the time.

You guys are too hard on P Rob....

He’s number 1 on the team in a lot of categories. For instance:

Nobody misses a tackle better than him. He’s the only guy on the team that once the receiver catches the ball, P Rob starts running backward instead of towards the receiver. And does anybody look more nervous out there?

My typing fingers were starting to burn when I read your first sentence…

You got me good.

Same with Shanle.

And you guys probably never will.

I'm not like everybody else

NO WORRIES, BOSS!

You can post as many of her (or the one Stu posted) as you like.

"Have no idea who this guy is"

quite possibly a NYC local sportscaster, covering the Giants.
secondly, (The Plumber’s Butt) Dave, you should’ve dropped some change in his “Coin Slot” just to see what would happen. Always great pics, Dave. Feel like I’m sitting right there with ya. Who-Daaaaat.

In the UK they call it "Builder's Bum".

Hatred strikes me as one of the few signs of life remaining in the world. This is another thing about the world which is upsidedown: all the friendly and likable people seem dead to me; only the haters seem alive.
