Pats vs. Saints

Shaun Sullivan · 11-30-2009, 07:44 PM

I rarely make predictions, and (full disclosure) I grew up in Mass, but I just had a vision...

Pats 38 Saints 27

Call Vegas, call your bookie.. I saw it!

DaddyTorgo · 11-30-2009, 07:46 PM

woooo!

jbergey22 · 11-30-2009, 07:57 PM

I like it!

DaddyTorgo · 11-30-2009, 07:58 PM

i'd be very very happy with that as a final score. i think it'll be closer

jeff061 · 11-30-2009, 08:02 PM

I'm just happy I'm a fan of a team that some people pick over a team like the Saints. Lots of Pats fans are spoiled, I'm still enjoying the ride.

Looking forward to tonight.

Abe Sargent · 11-30-2009, 08:13 PM

Saints by at least 7

Masked · 11-30-2009, 08:26 PM

Both of the Saints starting corners are out which is going to make slowing down the Pats offense very difficult.

Galaxy · 11-30-2009, 08:27 PM

Go Saints!

yeah that's going to be an issue.

wow - all the espn talking heads picking the saints? wowsers

Tigercat · 11-30-2009, 08:29 PM

Will be hard for the Saints to stop the Pats tonight with the Saints missing the two starting CBs. Pats by 10. If the Saints win tonight, it will mean something big for the Saints. If they lose, it won't mean the end of the world, this defense is much better with Porter or Greer playing, even moreso with both in there obviously.

You're saying "wowsers" to people picking a 10-0 team to win at home? I don't see that as anything remarkable.

jbergey22 · 11-30-2009, 08:29 PM

MNF has had some great games this year - the Browns/Ravens stinker.

i dunno...the talking heads don't pick against the patriots all that often these days.

Galaxy · 11-30-2009, 08:38 PM

Alex the Great is a pretty cheap player. Glad he got hurt. Of course, the NHL will do nothing (along with Crosby).

DaddyTorgo · 11-30-2009, 08:41 PM

Pats defer to the 2nd half...standard sorta decision by them...let the Saints take the ball first too while the crowd settles in

DaddyTorgo · 11-30-2009, 08:42 PM

bad play by bodden...it was there for him to break up

DaddyTorgo · 11-30-2009, 08:45 PM

damn -almost picked

DaddyTorgo · 11-30-2009, 08:46 PM

held them to a FG in the redzone...that's a good start.

ohhhhhhhhhhhhh he almost missed that! doinked off the upright and made it through

DaddyTorgo · 11-30-2009, 09:00 PM

TD Maroney

Pats ran and ran and ran. Maroney looking good, and Sammy Morris being back will be a big help.

SirFozzie · 11-30-2009, 09:01 PM

Damn, Billy with two fourth down conversions. So much for "Will he change his ways after Indy"

jbergey22 · 11-30-2009, 09:02 PM

Paper mache run defense on that drive. Great drive for the Pats. Saints will have to worry about the run game as well as the pass game it appears.

Gotta love aggessive coaching.

I cringed the other day when North Carolina played conservative and kicked a FG to go up 6. Of course NC st came back with a TD. Being up 3 and 6 isnt much difference in a college game as the FG kickers arent real accurate. So dumb conservative coaching cost the Heels.

DaddyTorgo · 11-30-2009, 09:09 PM

<3 Welker

Fierce man-crush

jbergey22 · 11-30-2009, 09:11 PM

WTF Brady! Terrible pass.

SirFozzie · 11-30-2009, 09:11 PM

bad throw by Brady there.

jeff061 · 11-30-2009, 09:11 PM

He pulled a Sanchez.

DaddyTorgo · 11-30-2009, 09:11 PM

bah. bad throw by Tom. He just never saw McKenzie cutting underneath i guess.

jbergey22 · 11-30-2009, 09:14 PM

Im not cheering for the Pats out of spite for the Saints. I am cheering for the Pats because I want that home turf advantage and I dont see the Saints losing too many more on their schedule.

jbergey22 · 11-30-2009, 09:19 PM

Anyone else think a holding call is too harsh in the NFL? The 10 yards pretty much stalls a drive and most holding calls are questionable at best because pretty much every play it could be called.

In college it seems fine because offenses seem more capable of getting out of that 1 and 20 hole.

jbergey22 · 11-30-2009, 09:22 PM

Nice answer by the Saints.

DaddyTorgo · 11-30-2009, 09:22 PM

ugh - defense much?

jbergey22 · 11-30-2009, 09:23 PM

I wouldnt feel to confident right now in a close game the way Carney is kicking the ball. WOW

DaddyTorgo · 11-30-2009, 09:25 PM

hehe - yeah he almost missed that one too

DaddyTorgo · 11-30-2009, 09:25 PM

Slater ALMOST found a seam there at the 25...

Masked · 11-30-2009, 09:35 PM

Punt returns are going to be interesting for the Saints - pretty much everyone who had ever returned a punt before last week are out.

BishopMVP · 11-30-2009, 09:35 PM

Saints left the right gunner (18-Aiken?) wide open on that punt. Wonder if the Pats will try to take advantage of that.

jeff061 · 11-30-2009, 09:36 PM

WTF was that.

Masked · 11-30-2009, 09:37 PM

um wow, was anyone within 25 yards of Henderson?

Radii · 11-30-2009, 09:37 PM

dear lord, i thought it was the saints who didn't have anyone in their secondary today?

DaddyTorgo · 11-30-2009, 09:37 PM

ummm hello?

fucking pass coverage somebody??

fuckity fuck

LloydLungs · 11-30-2009, 09:38 PM

I think that might be the most wide open WR I have ever seen. Like, in 25 years of watching football...

yeah. that was some horribly blown coverage there. that won't happen again

Tigercat · 11-30-2009, 09:40 PM

Yea, doesn't get more blown in coverage than that.

Biggest smile on my face so far though: Mike Mckenzie. Great, great guy who does a lot of charity work. (Can be seen on the new play 60 commercial with Obama.) Every team including the Saints gave up on him after surgery, but he comes in off the street and after less than a week of work looks as good as ever. I hope he keeps it up, what a great story.

jeff061 · 11-30-2009, 09:41 PM

My Pats looking good this quarter.

jbergey22 · 11-30-2009, 09:41 PM

Brady better quit ducking his head like that or he will be the next star QB out with a concussion.

DaddyTorgo · 11-30-2009, 09:43 PM

fucking pass interference!!!

jbergey22 · 11-30-2009, 09:44 PM

Come on Pats, go back to the run game.

Abe Sargent · 11-30-2009, 09:44 PM

They just made up for it with that call, refs always do

DaddyTorgo · 11-30-2009, 09:45 PM

they heard you bergey
