Get ready for this, Mr. Brady

don't tell Giselle

[ParkTrips]

As much as I would love to see the Patriots get blown out, I'm really thinking this will be the first loss of the season for the Saints.

[Jew]

Pierre Garcon....one of the best rookies out there, but I might be a little biased....

 

He's not a rookie.

[spaceace12]

He isn't....oh crap. This is the first I heard of him, Who did he play for before? I just assumed he was since he has a dropping tendacy.

 

EDIT: I guess you can say he is a rookie. Not technically, but he was drafted last year, but didn't play any and was a back up and never was on the active rooster. Which explains why I never heard of him. I usually never pay attention to the draft because unless it is a big pick (like Donald Brown this year) it doesn't get me interested.

Why, when he doesn't? http://www.pierregarconlive.com/bio.html

 

 

btw 4 catches last year and he played in 14 games per nfl.com

Talk about boring day for Football. Green Bay and Lions....yawn. Dallas and Oakland....super yawn.

[themeparkman25]

Somebody get some water, Drew Brees is on fire.

[spaceace12]

Once the game is over....I will celebrate. If yesterday proves anything. A team like the Colts or Patriots, 2 touchdowns is not enough lead. But Go Saints.

[The Alex]

Patriots got banged, 'nuff said.

 

 

 

 

11NO, just so you know :]

[metrock]

Am I ready for some football?

 

Nope.

[spaceace12]

I was lurking on patriotsplanet message board...not too many happy people over there.

[astroworldfan1]

They have no reason to be happy!

[ebl]

"Am I ready for some football? Nope." (metrock)

 

Ditto for me.

 

Earlier today I was reading an article about how much it costs for a family of four to see a football game at the new Dallas Cowboys Stadium...over $700 for a fair seat and some refreshments. Absolutely ridiculous.

^ That is what I don't like about high market teams. At Carolina you can get a great seat for $55. So a family of four would be $220. I am pretty sure the only real high prices are in places like Dallas, Washington and New York.

Bills tickets are the cheapest in the league, I believe. Even with the crap that has been put on the field in the last ten years, they still sell out just about every home game. I can usually get tickets through work for $45 for 100 level (20-25 yard line) or the Van Miller suite seats for $120. Sure beats the $200+ per seat they want for the Toronto series games.

 

Even with these cheap seats, I still can't justify paying that to watch what they put on the field - I did not even bother going to a game this year and I usually go to at least one. Just got tired of the mediocrity.

 

Although, I will say that I am very happy that they finally got rid of Dick 'Skelator' Jauron and promoted Fewell. Great job in motivating the team to beat up on the Dolphins...it was nice to finally see some emotion and some smart, gutsy play calling!

 

PS - I think the unlimited salary cap is about the stupidest idea ever...unless of course you're a Cowboys, Redskins, Giants, Jets or Patriots fan. I see this ruining football as salaries and caps are already way too high, especially for rookies. That is why the seats are so expensive...gotta pay those overpaid and (sometimes) under-achieving athletes!!!

[BaMiTsPaT]

the Rams are as good as ever

[stingrock23]

Wow, that was just a beating. Has Tom Brady ever been pulled that early? Way to give up, Pats. I'm just thankful our revolutionary war pats didn't quit like the football Pats.

 

 

Like I said, the Saints will not lose in that dome.

[astroworldfan1]

Hopefully the power that grants victories to the Saints will still be in affect when my high school football team goes to the state championship in two weeks!

 

GO SAINTS!

[ParkTrips]

Like I said, the Saints will not lose in that dome.

Now, with Matt Ryan banged up, Im not sure they will lose period. And with home field advantage in the playoffs....

[Homeboy23]

Something tells me both the Saints and Colts will lose one game, but I am now rooting for an undefeated Super Bowl.

[slither37]

Colts/Saints Super Bowl with both teams would be great. I am SO tired of hearing from the '72 Dolphins.

[spaceace12]

Get through Titans and JAgs and the Colts have a really good shot at being undefeated. Bronco's and Jets are tough also.

 

Big question would be is will Caldwell bench starters after a loss can do no harm? I hope not until the 4th and the game is in hand.

 

On the benching note, I benched both of my RB on the colts on my FF team for Chris Johnson and Cedric Benson. I hope that means Addai will have an all star game. Usually happens that way.

[stingrock23]

wow, Texas barely survived. I was hoping for some BCS chaos, which is needed so this system gets blown up.

[Freefallbestrideever]

I said the Saints would go 16-0 a few weeks back and no one believed me! It would be great if the Colts did it too to diminish the Patriots doing it My brother is a bandwagon fan of theirs.
