Tennant?

Why is De La Puenta starting over Tennant now if Kreutz doesnt play? Tennant was primed to be our starting center, now he is third string? What happened?

What in the HELL just happened!?

Have no idea

was really looking forward to seeing Tennant get a shot

from Michael Jackson's Estate Sale

I think he used to keep the elephant man’s skeleton and the Beatles’ Catalog in it when he wasn’t sleeping in it.

Colston will get a token play or two and that’s about it. He will NOT be a factor in this game…it’s just a bunch of Payton smoke and mirrors.

WIN NOW

-Colston shouldn’t play, same goes for Vilma. Divisional games ahead, give them time to properly heal.
-Gleason earned the right to be one of New Orleans greatest sons.
-Tennant, De La Puente or my mom, as long as Kreutz is off the field…
- Come on Aubrayo!
-I also like Duncan’s weakly breakdown. Wait, did he call Payton “brilliant”? Trying to get on Sean good side Jeff?
-Eagles…

I agree Colston shouldn't play this week.

If he gets hurt, I am storming the training facility…..Idk what I am gonna do after I storm…..but by god I’m storming!!!

In terms of tiebreakers,

Jags, Texans, Colts, and Titans count almost as much as divisonal games, because the other divisional opponents play them. Every game matters.

"Almost".

OK I’m laughing my butt off at this. The Saints are the least pass-happy team in the NFC South? CP must be dying. Not sure whether it’s of laughter or rage, tho.
