Pats vs Saints (11.30.09)

[Bahku]

A TD would be huge here ... Moss is open on almost every play ... I don't get why Tom's not going there. 

[nickagneta]

Saints are only bringing three or four guys but they are doing it from different angles and getting pressure and because of that they constantly have 7-8 men back in cover 2 and no one is open.

[Redz]

Gotta love Faulk bouncing right up

[Neurotic Guy]

Faulk might just be world's toughest man.

[Bahku]

Faulk might just be world's toughest man.

Amazing ... I wasn't expecting him to get up after that one.

Which is exactly what the Pats should be doing. Play some Cover 2 zone!

darg blast it all

nyarrrrrrrrrrrrrr

[Bahku]

Go Go Gostkowski!

Looking much stronger than old man Carney

Yeah ... Gostowski hasn't been touted like Vinatieri, but he's been almost as solid ... great foot.

Wow ... I take it back. 

[Neurotic Guy]

That hurts.  

[nickagneta]

Saints getting away with a lot of contact in the defensive backfield.

Missed FG.

Comedy of errors in this first half.

[nickagneta]

Time to mute the television until the second half...just can't stand the sound of Chris berman's voice any longer, never mind the look of him or his stupid "whoop".

[Bahku]

I miss Vrabel, Ty Law, Bruschi, Harrison, etc, etc, etc ...

[Neurotic Guy]

If you take away the intereption and the baffling missed coverage on Henderson, the glaring difference is that Brees has not been touched by a Patriot yet and Brady is getting mauled.

That gets a BIG TP, Nick ... the guy drives me nuts!! (Could ... go ... all ... the ... way! UGH!!) Have to owe you ... gave one a bit ago

[PosImpos]

The Patriots look like a weak team out there.

I think we just have to face it that this year at least the Patriots are not a truly elite team.  We can beat the heck out of lesser teams, but when we face good opponents, we're going to lose.  The only decent team we've beaten all year is the Ravens and that was only because Mark Clayton dropped a pass he would've caught 99 times out of 100.
