ADAM VINATERI!!!! I freaking love the guy.

I thought Peyton played good enough especially against an amazing defense. The 2nd int was just thrown up there and actually got the Colts more net then a punt would've. He made a great pass to Dallas and managed the game without making that huge mistake.

How about that defense?!? Harper, Sanders, Mathis, Freeny are just playing amazing.

Possibly going to the RCA Dome next sunday or going to warm San Diego. Eat that Billick!

This Colts team is playing with a desire I haven't seen out of the Colts before. Manning has been pretty average. But that defence hasn't. Gotta give them their due, those guys are playing like they really want it on the defensive side of the ball. Can't say I've seen that from the Colts teams in the past.

I'll give credit to the Saints defense for shutting down Brian Westbrook and putting the game in Garcia's hands. Garcia has responded so far by putting up a stinker.

So I guess we're not calling holding on the Saints today. Terrific.

Not like an Eagle fan to lose with class. Did you throw batteries at the screen?

I'll give you a tip, there's holding on every play. New Orleans doubled them in first downs and overall was the better team.

Deal.

How bout dem Saints, sweet lord what a win, greatest in franchise history!! That was hard on the nervous system, great effort from Deuce and Karney, freakin warriors tonight. Iggles flat ran out of gas, good effort by Garcia sitting in the pocket and getting hit alot. Go Seahawks!

Flames in 07 · 01-13-2007, 11:25 PM

I think of all of the teams in the NFC, The Saints matched up the worst with the Eagles, I'm glad they are out of the way. Too bad we can't drop the dome patrol into this defence to match the offence.

Who Dat think they gonna beat dem Saints.

Im still trying to get my head around Reids decision to punt the ball away with less than two minutes left and the ball on their own 39 yd line. Especially considering the fact that NO was having problems covering Philly receivers most of the evening.

If you trust your defense to stop the Saints after the punt...why wouldnt you trust them to stop them in your own end? And with the way Deuce had been running the ball down their throats......it was just a mind-boggling call to give the ball up on what turned out to be your last possesion.

The Eagle ineptitude in the playoffs continues.

Colts-Ravens.
Colts show that they can play defense. Baltimore does not show they cannot play offense. This Colts team is an enigma. I'm expecting their offense to explode in the Championship game. Their defense has the momentum, and Manning can't play 3 bad games in a row. Though every Pats fan loves Belichick and Brady, Vinatieri was equally vital to the Pats' Superbowl victories.

Eagles-Saints.
Miss't most of the game due to the Flames game. These are the two best teams in the NFC, shame for them to play in the 2nd round. From the highlights, WTF was with punting in the fourth, on 4th down?? Horrible play call. As an Eagles fan, though, in retrospect, still have to be very happy with making the playoffs, and happy with the way the season ended.

Absolutely they were. The Eagles were flat out sloppy and the Saints made the most of their opportunities. Garcia made some bad throws and the Eagles' play-calling was absolutetly horrid at times. That being said, the zebras did not help matters. (i.e. the illegal contact call on Dhani that led to the go-ahead touchdown)

I agree. More points clearly makes a game better.

LOL! No, but I went over to Clinton Portis' house and chucked garbage at his mom.

Soooooooo happy the Ravens were bounced.

I despise that team.

Good point that was a very poor call. If they didn't convert 4th and 15 they would have to get a 3 and out, just like what he signed up for with the punt, at least if they went for it they would have had a chance of converting and continuing their drive.

That and the call for a pass on 3rd and 1 at the 5. Brutal call.

hmmm, ya I don't have a big problem with that one, NO was stuffing them on the run all night long, and P/A is always good inside the five as it always gives the QB options, NO had the perfect defence blizting a Safty on that side.

Back to the Bears game:

Go Injuries Go!!!

Yes but the fact that it was supposed to go to Tapeh on the flat, a play the Saints had been stuffing all day, was ridiculous. A PA over the middle to the TE would've been a better call.
