The Saints just won me a ton of money today. I bow to them.

I can't imagine how Tony, the guy who was just a mega, awesome, amazing, genius last year allowed his team to roll over like that. Least of all how are they this far into the season with only 2 wins? That can't be possible for a guy who was just the second coming of greatness just a few months ago.

How do you blow a 24-3 lead?
Keep this man away from your football team.

Yeah.....Sparano and Singletary are tearing up the league with their coaching abilities.... 
Who needs a QB when you have them coaching.......
I guess when they lose....its because they dont have the players....but when Dallas losses....its because our GM and coaching suck.
Funny.....Big Bill the Genius....took a OL instead of a QB....

yeah I love how they blame it on not having their QB. Well that same QB, prior to getting hurt, was what 0-3? And it's the same QB who had them 11-5 last year.

Pennington has been done for a couple of weeks.
Ahh, now I see. I misread his post. I thought he was saying Pennington was still playing.

Miami's play-calling and clock management late in the fourth quarter was absolutely horrific.
When they were down by six points with 3:23 remaining, they called seven consecutive passes. They're the No. 2 rushing team in the NFL, they had two timeouts and had plenty of time left to mix in a few runs, and they decide to have Chad Henne throw on every play.
After Henne's interception was returned for a TD, they were down 12 points with 1:53 remaining and still had two timeouts. Obviously, they had to score a touchdown with enough time remaining to recover an onside kick and score again. So what did they do? THEY RAN THE BALL ON THE FIRST PLAY. Then they threw short passes into the middle of the field and let the clock run down instead of using their timeouts. They finally started using their timeouts in the final 40 seconds -- but they used them on downs when they could have spiked the ball to stop the clock. They didn't even TRY to score a touchdown (throwing a pass into the end zone) until 17 seconds remained. So the BEST CASE SCENARIO using their strategy would have been to recover an onside kick with 16 seconds left and attempt a couple of 55-yard hail marys. But of course, they mismanaged things so badly that they ran out of time before scoring even one TD, let alone two.

Their offense has been quite good. Their offense scored 27 points (7 extra points came from a pick). QB ain't the problem with that team, defense is. That's what happens when you have Pasqualoni coach your defense. I should know I watched almost every single Syracuse game under his coaching for 13 years.

The fact that NO is a much better team caught up with Miami....and the Dolphins peaked too early.

How about that idiotic timeout before the end of the half. Let them kick the FG. But, no, Sparano calls a timeout. New rleans then goes for it.
Why would anyone call a timeout in that situation?
Also, if the refs don't blow that call by calling it a TD, the clock would have ran out, only 5 seconds left.
Another screwup by the refs!!!
