So as i watch the Bucs get slammed... I'm fairly entertained

[aphex]

at how often the announcers on Fox call the Bucs the Falcons....

I've heard it at least 5-6 times so far in the game. I know the colors are similar, but seriously, haha

Yeah, I thought I was gonna eat my words for a minute... now the Saints are up 31/14.

Colston is looking amazing for the Saints.

For all the hype about Reggie Bush, he really has not run well for the Saints so far, and I don't mean just in this game. He's always trying to do too much and running sideways instead of up the field. I think he's averaging about 3 yards/carry...

Let's go Saints! Put it into the endzone again!

C'mon Lions, too! Man, if the Saints win and the Lions beat ATL, I'll be a happy, happy man.

The announcers on my game keep calling the Texans the Titans. They also keep calling Eli Peyton.

 

[loup garou]

Oh well, Saints couldn't put it in again, but Detroit scored again! :laugh:

 

[Aztech]

Game Over! Saints go to 6-2! w000t!

 

[loup garou]

[SmoochyTX]

LMAO @ the Cowgirls.

 

[SmoochyTX]

Woohoo! Redskins win over the Cowgirls 22-19!

 

[cardiac]

Bears just got smoked by the fish 31-13......

I've watched a lot of their offensive plays this season. When he's running between the tackles, he's not as patient as McAllister, he doesn't wait long enough for the holes to open up. And then when he tries to go outside and turn the corner, he starts juking and it just doesn't work. Even if the first guy misses, the rest of the defense is there to get him, NFL defenders cover too much ground. They've done a decent job of getting him involved in the passing game, although I'd like to see more screens and slants to him, anything where he can catch the ball in stride.

I will say that defenders seem overly keyed to shutting him down, almost like they're desperate not to get posterized, which has opened up things for everybody else on offense. Numerous times I've seen multiple defenders overreact to a good fake to Bush. He probably doesn't like it, but his main value to the Saints so far has been to draw attention and get other players open. But, eventually N.O. is going to have to figure out how to get him into the endzone with some regularity, or he'll start griping.
