Hardly, loss to the Giants was mostly on shitty kicking.

Hmm, well, you can hope he's picking up on the coaching then at least, cause that was not an easy kick.

[draynay]

He has leg strength but its all low line drives from him no matter where they are on the field.

[xskarma]

Sheesh. Okay maybe I was wrong about rather seeing 2 teams that can't defend.

[draynay]

I really like Thomas, that dude is pretty awesome.

[Grube]

4 defensive stops combined between the 2 teams in 2.5 quarters feels like a PAC 10 game. This is what I expected from the Saints/Giants game.

Stephone Anthony has been really fucking terrible today. ...and Byrd fails to make a play for the millionth time.

Matt Ryan is still slow, haha.

That was not the smartest playcall, what was I saying earlier about hubris?

[xskarma]

Saints hanging on there, that's the stop they needed. Now if they can build on that, they might still get somewhere this game.

There is a difference from a shootout and two teams that can't defend. One is enjoyable, the other is like taking candy from a baby. Though ypu could say the same for a defensive game as well.

[draynay]

I have mostly seen games that either had offensive ineptitude or defensive ineptitude. The Rams/Seahawks game had some good defense but mostly it was offensive ineptitude again.

With as bad as the Saints o-line looks, Brees might not make it out of the Denver game.

[xskarma]

Trouble is, the Saints need the ball back quickly to make this a game, and I very much doubt the Falcons will let them. Just run the ball over and over and drain the clock, and Saints won't have the time to get back.

Matt Ryan is slow they said. Just outran most of the Saints front 7 to get a first down.

[draynay]

Oh good, managed to field a punt without some guy fucking it up and getting himself released.

Have to give them a break, they don't get many punt return opportunities.

2nd and 1, empty backfield (SIGH) near interception...

hate this empty backfield shit, at least make them think you might run the ball in short yardage, instead they sit on short routes and almost force a turnover.

Theres been some trouble, but starting LT is out today.

[xskarma]

Yeah, that's the ball game. Too many drops and inaccuracies at the end there (and no protection).

Okay that was the most hilarious thing this week-end. Matt Ryan's survival instincts kicking in.

Honestly? Your talking like that is a challenge. He's able to out run the worst defense... Give him a medal.

[xskarma]

Patriots not signed a back up QB yet. Both QB's were at practice, but apparently Garoppolo still doesn't have full range of motion in his throwing arm/shoulder. Patriots playing dangerous games again it seems, banking on at least 1 of their injured QB's to be ready, even though they seemingly are both still ???'s.

[Grube]

Edelman throwing to himself (I mean Favre's first completion was to himself, why not) or running spread option stuff is a better bet that any of the non signed QBs. Clipboard Jesus and Mettenberger are on teams, that shows how little is available.

Colts put Tent Cole on the IR. At the rate they are going I might be able to get a roster spot by the end of the year despite not being good enough to play above DII.
