| FriarBob |
1) Brees has 3+ TDs, over 400 yards, but more combined Sacks+INTs than TDs. 2) We give up a special teams or defensive TD (not FG) and lose the turnover battle, but win the TOP game thanks to having the better running game in at least two of #carries, YPC, and total yards. (CP is happy that at least we won the TOP game, the rest of us are not.) 3) We manage to mostly shut down Calvin again with <= 2 TDs, <= 2 "explosive" (i.e. 40+ yards) plays, and at least two Saints have as many run+catch TDs as he does, but other Kitties step up and make us pay for over-covering him. |
