Hell of a play on that one. Good decision by Brees to go deep, great catch. Meacham made up for the drop....

Roman Harper is getting lit up so much that they're going to have to nickname him Roman Candle.

NBC's production booth SUCKS. Video feed has been horrible and we've got NFL Mexicano getting dubbed over the top.

Yes - it's very exciting to watch them kick a ball into the endzone so a single player to catch and do nothing wish.

Ooo -oooo! Did you see that??!! HE TOOK A KNEE!!!!!!

One another note - the saints defense looks horrible (at least my opponent has them in our fantasy league)

Hell of a game so far. Its too bad the Saints didn't score before halftime - would have made it that much more interesting.

I don't understand that 4th down call at all....

Kick the field goal, and you have a whole fourth quarter to score a touchdown to take the lead.

It's Payton. That's how he rolls.

Green Bay is marching down the field after that fourth down stop. I think if Green Bay gets a TD here that will be the game changer. Green Bay has been a step ahead for the entire game, but I think that stop plus a TD will break the Saint's will. GO PACK!

Well the Saints defense got dominated, but going to Green Bay and keeping it that close is not a bad start for New Orleans this season.
