MNF: Patriots - 17 vs Saints - 38 Game Thread

[Rampage]

this should be a good one. prediction: Pats 38-24

[Doomsday101]

this should be a good one. prediction: Pats 38-24

I agree and think the Pats win in a high scoring affair

[Cover 2]

I too think the Pats win. I'm interested in seeing Belichick's defensive game plan. It could help us out when we play them later if Belichick finds something to exploit.

[cowboyjoe]

this should be a good one. prediction: Pats 38-24

yep should be a shootout

[Vintage]

Saints don't make mistakes.

Or so I hear.

[poost]

Jeez why can't we play these guys on primetime instead of NFL network.

[CliffnMesquite]

This should be...Interesting.

[kmp77]

C'monnnnnnn Mannnnnnnnnn!!

WTH was that FS lineman doing not moving?? Weird.

[sacowboysfan513]

I am hoping for a pats win.

[kmp77]

I hate Shockey. That is all.

[Cover 2]

Not a good start...

[sacowboysfan513]

geez lol, nice throw and catch

[Viper]

I expect a good football game tonight.

[Rampage]

Brees got lucky that he didn't get picked off by Merriweather from DA U!

[Vintage]

Pats stop the Saints to a field goal attempt. Soon to be 3-0 NOLA.

[kmp77]

Am I the only that thinks the saint's field is ugly? Weird green and the endzone is bland...always looks weird on my tv.

[sacowboysfan513]

good job holding them to 3

lucky that kick bounced in

[Bob Sacamano]

the Saints just look fast

[chip_gilkey]

Is everyone rooting for the pats? i know that the saints are in the nfc so it would be better for us if they lose i guess but i dont care i hate the pats and i want them to lose and lose hard.

[gmb85]

Let's see what the Cheats...er Patriots do.

[casmith07]

Is everyone rooting for the pats? i know that the saints are in the nfc so it would be better for us if they lose i guess but i dont care i hate the pats and i want them to lose and lose hard.

No. I can't root for Shady Brady and Bill Belicheat.

[casmith07]

Good run. The Saints run defense has been suspect this year.

Felix scores on that run :o:

[kmp77]

Best run I've ever seen Barber Light ever run.

[Bob Sacamano]

Laurence Maroney is the new Barbarian? :eek:

[casmith07]

Good check down by Brady.

[kmp77]

Late hit?

[casmith07]

Randy Moss saw Sharper in the corner of his eye!

[casmith07]

Belicheat has no confidence in his defense :lmao:

[Cover 2]

I love Belichick's fearlessness.

[DallasEast]

Good run. The Saints run defense has been suspect this year.

Felix scores on that run :o:
I was about to post something similar. New Orleans run defense is one of their weak links. It's still early in the game, but hopefully, more Cowboys fans here who are afraid of the Saints will see this as well.

[Rampage]

Belicheat has no confidence in his defense :lmao:
don't you think it's more of confidence in his offense?

[reddyuta]

why are they not blitzing brady?

[casmith07]

one thing about New England's offense that I wish our offense had more of - they have excellent check-down routes and they aren't afraid to play the dump-down/YAC game all the way down the field.

Sometimes a short pass is just as good as a run.

[kmp77]

Maroney is running like Barber tonight.

[Bob Sacamano]

how is Vilma getting more votes than Keith Brooking?

or Bradie James?

[DallasEast]

Laurence Maroney is the new Barbarian? :eek:
Maroney and Barber were Barbarians A & B while playing together at Minnesota.

[Rampage]

bad spot for the Pats

[casmith07]

good spot for New Orleans on that one, wow...I thought he got it.

[newera]

Agreed

[DallasEast]

how is Vilma getting more votes than Keith Brooking?

or Bradie James?
A: Saints 10-0, Cowboys 8-3

[newera]

See what happens when you run in the red zone?........

[casmith07]

New England's offensive line just blew the Saints off the ball on that play.

[Rampage]

Belicheat is out for blood tonight

[DallasEast]

If your team has the speed and size, you can run at and around this Saints defense.

[Bob Sacamano]

A: Saints 10-0, Cowboys 8-3

what do rhetorical mean?

btw, is it me, or are alot of Pat O players getting a great jump at the snap? it's the 3rd time on this drive where it looks like someone has left the line early, whether it be Oline or an extra blocker

[mgcowboy]

Pats are executing their plan...short gains..run..run..run
without looking for big play and that way
keep the ball
keep NO offense off the field
make the NO defense tired

good game plan....good reciepe to beat the saints
:cool:

Completely agree. A prime example of that was when Moss went deep, and Brady checked down to Welker. He got 5-6 yards off that instead of nothing, because there was a checkdown receiver.

New Englands kicker usually booms em kickoffs. I wonder why he's kicking so short in a dome.

[casmith07]

they tried for the big play twice on that drive

What game are you watching?

[mgcowboy]

they tried for the big play twice on that drive

I would assume they did it to set up the saints defense

I think NE will continue the same rhythm
:cool:

[Bob Sacamano]

Chris Berman is getting way too much airtime these days

1st he advocates losing weight by eating healthy with Nutrisystem

and then he's encouraging you to pig out on the cheap with Applebee's

[kmp77]

Please hit Shocky like that 10-11 more times please :)

[casmith07]

3:29 left in the first...New England chewed up almost the entire quarter.

Surprised Shockey didn't drop that, and I'm not just being a Shockey hater.

[Rampage]

What game are you watching?
the deep incompletion to Aikman than the playaction intended for Moss but Brady checked it down. what game are you watching?

[Temo]

I love Belichick for going for it on 4th down. That's the way football should always be played.

[CowboyFan74]

3:29 left in the first...New England chewed up almost the entire quarter.

Surprised Shockey didn't drop that, and I'm not just being a Shockey hater.

Were they pounding the rock?

[Bob Sacamano]

New Orleans is the perfect city for Shockey

redneck-ville plus drinking is a way of life there

hmm, that's my idea of heaven too

[casmith07]

Vince Wilfork is a large, large man.

[kmp77]

Wilfork killed that guy!!!! Lol...

[kmp77]

This just in, Welker is good.

[Section444]

I know it's wrong of me, but I still view the Saints as being well.... the Saints. I don't think they are a team that wins when it counts in the playoffs.

[RCowboyFan]

Man, why did I pick Saints to win this game?? This game, unless Brady has brain cramp, NE seems like will blow out Aints.

[casmith07]

Were they pounding the rock?

Running the ball and throwing checkdowns, giving their receivers a chance to run after the catch. Perfect way to beat the Saints.

And that is PITIFUL coverage on the punt. Crayton wouldn't score on that one without some extra blockers but with Newman on the field he could run with him.

[Rampage]

big return by Welker. Pats bout to start raining on the Saints

[Bob Sacamano]

Wes Welker is the illest white boy alive

[Vintage]

LOL at Saints special teams giving Brady great field position.

[Aikmaniac]

New England...getting ready to open up a lead.

[RCowboyFan]

Vince Wilfork is a large, large man.

In other words he is a Fat A........ :D

[reddyuta]

if the saints sit back on defense then brady will roll them over,they should go for broke.

[Temo]

Saints don't go for it on 4th down, Payton shows why Belichick is the better coach.

Then extra long return. Lol.

[Rampage]

Wes Welker is the illest white boy alive
fo sho my brotha

[WoodysGirl]

Please hit Shocky like that 10-11 more times please :)
Ditto this..

[gmb85]

Wes Welker is the illest white boy alive
Ain't that the truth.

[Cover 2]

If Welker had good speed he might have taken that one to the house.

Yep short stuff works well...

[casmith07]

Brady picked off!! Terrible throw what was he thinking!?

[Vintage]

If Welker had good speed he might have taken that one to the house.


He showed some decent speed on that return.



BRADY WITH THE INT????????????NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[CowboyFan74]

Interception!!!

[newera]

Brady not so good when on the move

[Cover 2]

Brady is not good when the play breaks down.

[RCowboyFan]

And BRady has a brain cramp indeed.....

[Bob Sacamano]

haha Brady tried to copy Romo and failed

what a pansy *** throw

[gmb85]

Brady with a pick! HAHAHAHAHA!!!!

[trickblue]

Love that...

[Rampage]

Brady picked off by former cb signed off the street a week ago Mike McKenzie! that was huge for the Saints

[WoodysGirl]

Horrific int ret by McKenzie. Just go down if you gonna dance with the ball.

[DallasEast]

Good old Brady. Get him out of the pocket and he will give up the rare INT.

[Cover 2]

He showed some decent speed on that return.



BRADY WITH THE INT????????????NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I always viewed him as being more quick than fast.

[casmith07]

Brady's never been good on the move. He's like Peyton Manning, though, absolutely lethal from the pocket.

[Temo]

Horrible throw.

[Hoofbite]

Wow. Brady never knew he was there and Moss wanted no part of tackling.

[Aikmaniac]

Brady picked off!! Terrible throw what was he thinking!?

It is December, ya know.

[casmith07]

Saints need a TD here to maintain momentum. They were almost back-broken on that drive.

[Bob Sacamano]

Gruden you idiot

Sharper was right there for the pick anyways

Brady had nothing and he forced it

[casmith07]

Patriots safeties playing RIDICULOUSLY deep...our WRs and TEs would chew that secondary up with the safeties playing that deep, especially Austin!

[chip_gilkey]

This damn play 60 comercial is too long.

[DallasEast]

That run is typical of the Saints' strength running the ball. Their offensive linemen are quick of the snap and put hats on your linebackers in the blink of an eye. Olshansky, Ratliff and Spears will have their work cut out for them in a few weeks.

[casmith07]

This damn play 60 comercial is too long.

not too long at all - they save the best for last in Demarcus Ware! :starspin

[fffiasco]

saints run d is poor...

[Rampage]

I think Mike Bell just got a concussion

[Rampage]

what a play by Wilfork

[casmith07]

Patriots defense is really outdoing themselves this game so far, after some of their performances early on.

[chip_gilkey]

not too long at all - they save the best for last in Demarcus Ware! :starspin


Its the anticipation that kills me, im like "wheres obama throwing the ball too!!!" then i have to wait another 2 minutes to see where its going.

[Hoofbite]

Holy ****. Did you guys see Wilfork going crazy?

Pretty sure I head some things you don't want to hear on the air in you are ESPN.

[Cover 2]

How was he able to get in?

[thssanders]

poor tackling there....

[viman96]

Great TD run!

[DallasEast]

Piss poor pitiful tackling by the Patriots.

[kmp77]

No one touches the Shaqtus.

[Bluestang]

saints run D is still terrible. el gato better be ready!

[Vintage]

saints run D is still terrible. el gato better be ready!


Hopefully he gets more than 6 carries in the game.

[thssanders]

is anyone here rooting for the saints? I hate the patriots but i am hoping they beat the saints.... always have to root for the afc when playoff positioning is on the line. But i don't really see us catching the saints anyway, especially with our tough schedule.

part of me wants the saints to win so we can be the first to beat them. What about you guys

[Bob Sacamano]

Hopefully he gets more than 6 carries in the game.

doubt it

[Bob Sacamano]

I like how they're bringing back the old cartoons

It just depends on the series, Felix's touches are less than any other back because he has that ability to take it to the house on ANY run.

I just hope he gets more series' than usual.

[Vintage]

Seems to me, that would be worthy of giving additional carries to... someone who could explode on any given play.

On the otherhand you expose him to more potential for injury...you don't want to "LT" him either.

[kmp77]

Anyone wore the new style of helmets?? Wonder why some people still prefer the old style when the new ones have better protection.

[Cover 2]

Felix has had nowhere near the carries of LT.

[Vintage]

On the otherhand you expose him to more potential for injury...you don't want to "LT" him either.

I'm not saying you give him 350 carries.

But he's on pace for 100 or so this year. I'd like to think you'd want to give such an explosive player more than that.

I can't wait until Jordan Shipley hits the NFL, talk about a guy who can do everything....PR/KR, WR, and Kick Holder. Whoever picks this kid up is gonna get their money's worth and then some.

You misunderstood me...when I said "LT" him...I meant we don't use him to the point that he gets chronically injured.

[Vintage]

That INT really killed NE's momentum.

[Bob Sacamano]

that's more mileage catching up to LT than anything else

Yeah. Almost all runningbacks hit a wall when they turn 30.

[kmp77]

Game.Over.

[casmith07]

Patriots defense imploding.

[CowboyFan74]

Wiiiiidddddddeeeeeee open!!!!:lmao2:

[zeroburrito]

drew brees and the saints are insane.

[kojak]

Wow!!!

[casmith07]

to their credit, New England probably comes right back and scores.

[Bob Sacamano]

Devery HEnderson and Robert Meachem is alot of speed

damn dude, noone had him, wow

[Kangaroo]

Patriots defense imploding.

The defense has not been that good all year

[Bluestang]

I'm not saying you give him 350 carries.

But he's on pace for 100 or so this year. I'd like to think you'd want to give such an explosive player more than that.


I know man, it's frustrating to say the least. Felix has been banged up since OTAs...remember the thigh bruise? He's a good runner but the type of runner he his with the speed he has that's tough on the body to take hits.

[Rampage]

does Roy Williams play ss for New England?

[DallasEast]

wow. just give them the game, why dontcha?

[StylisticS]

Our secondary will have to be very disciplined when we play New Orleans.

[Bob Sacamano]

at least Ken Hamlin would have been back there

[Bluestang]

Somebody dropped the ball on the corner blitz, NO SAFETY HELP!

[DallasEast]

does Roy Williams play ss for New England?
Just had to say it, didn't ya?

[dadymat]

Jaws and Gruden should have brought knee pads to this game.....

[Bob Sacamano]

Our secondary will have to be very disciplined when we play New Orleans.

dont' worry, Ken always plays 40 yards off the ball

[FLcowboy]

We are looking at a Super Bowl team here folks. Only they can stop themselves.

[Bluestang]

And then the saints run D comes alive!!!

[Rampage]

Just had to say it, didn't ya?
that td brought back memories

[Vintage]

Yeah...... I dont want to play Nawlins.


edit: not counting out the Pats. They can get this corrected with a score on this drive.

[casmith07]

Our secondary will have to be very disciplined when we play New Orleans.

Obviously, but our defense won't have a breakdown like that. That was ridiculous. The safety bit on nothing because there was a LB right there to cover the right seam.

[Bluestang]

We are looking at a Super Bowl team here folks. Only they can stop themselves.


Same thing was said about the Saints last year and they collapsed....

[DallasEast]

:muttley:

the Pats needed that baaaaaaaad

[casmith07]

And just like that, the Pats convert.

Brady. Just. Converts.

[CowboyFan74]

dont' worry, Ken always plays 40 yards off the ball

50+...

[viman96]

Great play on the ball!

[casmith07]

Missed call or not, Brady needs to lay that one into the endzone.

[thssanders]

wow... can't believe the defense is playing this well without their best corner greer. Playing two guys they just signed off the street...wow

[DallasEast]

Bad reffing. It's a theme for 2009.

[kmp77]

Wouldn't be an NFL game without crappy officiating.

[Rampage]

oh snap!

[Bluestang]

wow... can't believe the defense is playing this well without their best corner greer. Playing two guys they just signed off the street...wow


Refs are helping NO...welker got held.

[Dash28]

Wouldn't be an NFL game without crappy officiating.
Exactly, it's quite sad.

[casmith07]

Maroney's running like the better Minnesota player right now.

Almost every game I have seen this season there has been a bad call.

Pats D has been on the decline for a while, they shoulda paid what's his face at corner..

I find it intriguing that on a NE corner blitz someone blew their assignment and didn't help the blitzing corner...not a typical Belicheat coached team right now.

[thewireman]

Jeez does ESPN love commercials or what

[Bob Sacamano]

wow... can't believe the defense is playing this well without their best corner greer. Playing two guys they just signed off the street...wow

I'm glad we're not the only one that that has happened to

[kmp77]

It's a run....It's a run...........*pass*.....missed tackle....1st down.

[casmith07]

Pats D has been on the decline for a while, they shoulda paid what's his face at corner..

Samuel is not the answer. The Patriots problem is they continued to keep Bruschi, Seau, and guys like Rodney Harrison instead of getting some younger players ready. Now they have over half of their defense starting for the first time in their careers and not seeing the field much before that.

This is why I'm glad the Cowboys are drafting starting-caliber depth, but I'd wish they see the field more.

[Bob Sacamano]

Belichick is flipping through his playbook

trying to dig up Goodell's number

[CowboyFan74]

The S-AINTS are earning the "S" tonight...:eek:

[kojak]

Billicheat getting owned so far

[Rampage]

man I don't want none of the Saints. how the heck are we gonna stop that offense?

not sure these 2 teams belong on the same field.

The more and more I see it I realize now that the Cowboys have the right approach to drafting and developing players these last few years. It's like baseball in the sense that young players develop in the minors first then they prove themselves when they get the call to play in the majors.

[Clove]

we are so screwed when we play the SaintsWe have corners.

[casmith07]

Well, I'm not going to slurp the Saints like some Cowboys fans, however, it's clear that Newman and Jenkins will need to wear their big boy pants when we play them - I caveat this by saying that this doesn't change REGARDLESS of the opponent...we've played quite a few top-flight receivers this year and they've done very well. I'm happy we have a guy like Jenkins stepping up and Newman still able to move with good speed. Patriots defense just looks lost - that's what happens with inexperienced guys.

[Vintage]

man I don't want none of the Saints. how the heck are we gonna stop that offense?

Pray?

[Chocolate Lab]

Okay, I was going for the Pats, but if the Saints are going to win... Run it up. Give Hoodie some of his own medicine.

BTW, have you guys noticed Belicheat loses when he doesn't wear the gray hoodie? Super Bowl 2007 season, Colts game, this game.

[Biggems]

So anyway, I have pierre thomas who i started....TD

I then had to decide between Maroney and Meachem. I started Meachem.....either way I would have been ok since both have a TD so far.

Unless Brady completely goes off during the rest of this game, I should win this week and go into the playoffs as the 1 seed.

[soccerbud]

would trade red for sean peyton

[Achozen]

Meachem was my pet cat in the draft a few years ago.

[Cover 2]

New Orleans is playing like the best team in football tonight. Let's hope this is a fluke, but judging by their record they are for real! Just like Houston Alexander.

[zeroburrito]

horrible turnovers are the only things that will keep the saints from the trophy. getting rid of season payton was one of the biggest mistakes of all time.

[dadymat]

man I don't want none of the Saints. how the heck are we gonna stop that offense?


our D is light years better than Pats.....they are putting no pressure on Brees

[Biggems]

The Saints D, aside from Sharper, doesn't scare me. The Saints special teams are not all that if Bush is sidelined. The Saints offense is downright nightmarish.

[Rampage]

I can think of another Boston area team that did this in the late 80s and early 90s and cost them to be a mediocre team up until 2007-2008.

Oh and we do know that the Pats will come back.

[Vintage]

Well, I'm not going to slurp the Saints like some Cowboys fans, however, it's clear that Newman and Jenkins will need to wear their big boy pants when we play them. I'm happy we have a guy like Jenkins stepping up and Newman still able to move with good speed. Patriots defense just looks lost - that's what happens with inexperienced guys.

I'm not worried about Newman and Jenkins.

Its when they go 3 WRs..... 4 WRs... we're in trouble. Scandrick better show up when we play them.

And our LBers in coverage..... I'm worried about that too.

[Rampage]

The Saints D, aside from Sharper, doesn't scare me. The Saints special teams are not all that if Bush is sidelined. The Saints offense is downright nightmarish.
our o-line is average at best.

[zeroburrito]

The Saints D, aside from Sharper, doesn't scare me. The Saints special teams are not all that if Bush is sidelined. The Saints offense is downright nightmarish.

they have an incredible playmaking defense.

[mgcowboy]

We should not put much pressure on ourselves when we go there. Our guys should take it as a practice. A way to have a feel of the dome, crowd, their offense, their defense.....
Chances are almost certain we will go there again if we make a run
to the superbowl and that my fellow fans it the battle that counts.
:cool:

[Gemini Dolly]

Anyone scared of the Saints? Just me? Okay then.

Look at the pass protection he has. There were 4 DB's with nobody to cover and the WR was one on one and beat his man.

Most NFL QB's will win like that, with that much time.

Meachem was my pet cat in the draft a few years ago.

I was hoping we'd get him, too. Didn't look like a good pick at first, but it looks pretty good now.

I love me some Spencer, though, so it's okay.

[dadymat]

So anyway, I have pierre thomas who i started....TD

I then had to decide between Maroney and Meachem. I started Meachem.....either way I would have been ok since both have a TD so far.

Unless Brady completely goes off during the rest of this game, I should win this week and go into the playoffs as the 1 seed.

ive got Brees, Maroney and Gostkowski----started the night 30 points down..now lead by 9

[Bluestang]

I'm not worried about Newman and Jenkins.

Its when they go 3 WRs..... 4 WRs... we're in trouble. Scandrick better show up when we play them.

And our LBers in coverage..... I'm worried about that too.


Patriots D is the problem...someone said it before that they are inexperienced right now.

[Gemini Dolly]

If we dont get a consistent pass rush on Saints, its going to be one long brutal night.

[Dash28]

we are so screwed when we play the Saints
We have a pass rush/coverage in the secondary, unlike the Pats. But what does that matter to you, we have already lost.

[casmith07]

Brady being Brady...as much as I hate him he's doing his thang on this drive.

[theogt]

I honestly can't wait to see our "new and improved" defense against a team like the Saints.

[Chocolate Lab]

would trade red for sean peyton

:yathink: x100

[viman96]

I'm surprised so many here are not taking the Saints seriously. They are legit. Even if you question their D, their O can score on anyone.

[Hoofbite]

Moss' mustache is looking pretty serious.

[kmp77]

I keep having flashbacks to the 2006 game against the Saints :(

[Vintage]

I honestly can't wait to see our "new and improved" defense against a team like the Saints.

Its gonna be a helluva test, that's for sure.

Romo has to be on point this game. If he doesn't take care of the ball....

[Biggems]

faulk just got blew up

[casmith07]

We need to make Tashard Choice our Kevin Faulk. Way to hang on to the ball.

[Rampage]

Faulk got JACKED UP!

Anyone scared of the Saints? Just me? Okay then.


I've never really understood when people say this, not trying to be rude, but you don't play for the Cowboys so what is there to be scared of. I doubt the players are scared.

[newera]

I can't say that i'm scared of any team. I respect all of our opponents, but I also have faith in our team. We know that our team is capable of getting up and beating anyone in the league. OTOH we have also shown that we are capable of playing down to, and losing to any team.

[CowboyFan74]

Sharper just cracked open the month of December:eek:

[Bluestang]

LOL at you people...we haven't played them yet and you guys are already ready to hand them the win and even more you the Lombardi...get a grip folks...one game at a time.

[Hoofbite]

Sharper is to the Saints what Brooking is to Dallas.

[casmith07]

I keep having flashbacks to the 2006 game against the Saints :(

if I recall we turned the ball over quite a bit in that game.

[thssanders]

i bet they would have flagged us for that hit... anytime we get a big hit we get a bs flag

[zeroburrito]

steinbach!

[viman96]
