Sweet flea flicker.

 

[( . ) ( . ) and (_!_)]

The anthem thing was stupid. Just stop already. It's football

 

[Marciano490]

Nice stiff arm by Freeman. And hopping.

 

[Marciano490]

I've never seen that before. Oops.

 

[Ale Xander]

that was the anti-Gleason. Saints player hit the Saints PR. Dirty Birds get the worm.

WTF

 

[MB's Hidden Ball]

That was crazy.

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

That was Patriots playoff hero Sterling Moore he threw aside like a discarded candy wrapper.

 

[Ale Xander]

Harris, let it go, moron.

 

[Ale Xander]

Throw to Sanu please.

 

[Gorton Fisherman]

I kinda hate to say this, because I generally like Sean McDonough. But so far, I don't know if he's right for MNF. Somehow he manages to make MNF come across as some random crappy college game. A bit too subdued, perhaps.

Funny, I was just thinking that I liked him for basically the same reason -- he's competent and never gives you the impression that he thinks he's bigger than the game.

Brees is a joy to watch. Thankfully, Miami passed on him and has yet to recover from it.

 

[One Red Seat]

Just getting opportunity to check in on game now. Did Julio Jones get hurt or something? No catches? Has he been targeted?

 

[mauf]

Nice job by the Saints getting 4 yards on the penultimate play of the half. That 57-yard FG wouldn't have been good from 61.

 

[dcmissle]

Have no idea how they held the NYGs down last week -- Saints are defenseless.

 

[Doug Beerabelli]

Kuhn is German for "vulture."

 

[Dahabenzapple2]

A stop!!!

 

[Ale Xander]

cmon throw it to Cooks. Why are you running it down 20 in the 4th?

 

[Ale Xander]

Brees you suck anyway

 

[Ale Xander]

Hits Coleman and Fleener, misses Cooks.FML

 

[Ale Xander]

Since Drew Brees entered the league, only the New England Patriots scored more points than the New Orleans Saints.

 

[Conigliaro's Potential]

The Falcons had two sacks against the Saints...and tripled their season sack total from 1 to 3 in doing so. Their defense is not good. Luckily the Saints defense is horrendous, and/or Matty Ice has finally figured out Kyle Shanahan's offense. Having a competent offensive line definitely helps; Alex Mack was a big offseason signing. And the two-headed rushing hydra of Devonta Freeman (152 yards) and Tevin Coleman (3 TDs) is working beautifully.

(I figured someone ought to post something about the Falcons at some point - sorry.)

That's a really strange statistic. Does that count when he played for the Chargers?

Pretty sure he meant to say since Brees joined the Saints; that's the stat they quoted on the broadcast.
