Worse thing ever Pierre Thomas beats my in fantasy football on that TD at the end of the game. I am having terrible luck with that this year.

Atlanta had a shot to win this game. The saints are finding ways to win.

Saints win.

Saints and Colts are the only 2 unbeaten teams as both are 7-0.

I just sent iggnuef his new avatar, hope it wasn't too soon...

If you are a Saint why are you going after the ball when it hasn't reached 10 yards?

SteveToms · 11-02-2009, 10:16 PM

Game finishes with a Sharper INT.

Montana Moe · 11-02-2009, 10:24 PM

Ugh, nothing is ever easy as a Saints fan...

On a side note, I'm starting to worry about the injuries beginning to pile up for the Saints. That was their main problem last year, I think they lead the league in injuries in '08. They've been lucky with virtually none the first six weeks of the season, but the past couple of weeks bodies are starting to drop. I like Dunbar at the one OLB spot, but Mitchell on the other wasn't impressing me, I think we're missing Fujita outside. And here we are with a 2nd straight game without Ellis up the middle, and two straight games we have an RB have a big day against us.

The good news is that this game concludes the tough part of the Saints sked, and they came through perfect. They've got a pretty cushy sked the next few weeks(Panthers, Rams, Bucs), and I can't see how they'd go any worse than 4-1 heading into a big rematch with the Falcons. By then Sed should be back(and hopefully Goodwin, I'm worried about that too), and hopefully the injury bug hasn't struck again.

Oh, and Colston is a stud.

Hahaha that's priceless!! Your avy's hilarious too. I'll probably steal that and make it my Facebook pic at some point.

Montana Moe · 11-02-2009, 10:45 PM

I'm concerned about injuries as well. Everyone has them by now, but the Saints injuries are all right up the middle. Dunbar is a good player, and I agree about Mitchell. Ellis, and Goodwin are the big ones, and I'd add Evans as well.

3 weeks to go with "should win" games beofre the big MNF showdown with New England. I'd LOVE to win that game!

Edit: Sean Payton says knee contusion for Goodwin, good news.

Jamaal Lewis to retire after the season?

Let the Broncos hyperbole begin!

http://kevin-blackistone.fanhouse.co...usspor00000002

The Broncos have been exposed folks. They are pretenders.

The guy makes some great points but his hyperbole overshadows it for me.

Anyone who watched the game knows it was a hell of a lot closer than the score indicated. Flacco's size is such an asset. I can think of at least 4 plays that he was sacked if he's 28 other NFL QB's and made a play out of it. Game changing stuff.

Yes, I believe the Ravens are better than their record indicates...sort of. Where was their defense the last three weeks when they were carved up? Did they need motivation? I don't know , but the Broncos are the best team in the West by a fair margin and they deserve some credit for what they've accomplished so far.

There's no shame in this loss at all.

Montana Moe · 11-03-2009, 09:06 AM

Agreed DFF, every team is going to lose at some point this season. (maybe?)

Baltimore is a better team than their record indicates, playing at home, coming off of 3 straight losses, etc. You can't discount the early start for a western team either, it is a proven fact that the western teams lose when they play in the early slot on the east coast.

Denver is the class of the west, AFC or NFC. They have a top notch defense, and are playing largely mistake free football.

I can see them going 7-2 the rest of the way, and I HATE the Broncos...

Absolutely jaw dropping. He had no business making that play.

Sylvanfan · 11-03-2009, 10:33 AM

Yeah, thats an outstanding INT. I was thinking, oh yeah another big gain for Colston, and out of nowhere Grimes snatches the puck out of the air.

Pagal4321 · 11-03-2009, 10:34 AM

Whooo check out that vertical. An unreal play.

Atlanta had their chances to win last night, just shot themselves in the foot one too many times.

Does anyone notice that Matt Ryan freaks out after about 4-5 seconds in the pocket, regardless if there's pressure near him. He seems to get frazzled when his mental clock hits a certain number....really really strange.
