lions. i hate the saints.
Lions

For my mother-in-law. A die hard fan who has been rooting since the 50s. She deserves a win.

Hate Schwartz but wish Sean Payton had stayed in Dallas

Man, could Dallas have been in a Super Bowl over that time?

Probably

But Payton was due to move on to an HC job. We couldn’t fire Parcells to promote Payton, I don’t think. The timing there wasn’t ideal.

I love that he's never intimidated by the down or distance

Just wide open offense all the time

Definitely

He’s of the Norv Turner, New England, Indy school of knowing you win in this league by piling up the points, and isn’t shy about stepping on the accelerator to get there.

Jimmy would step on your throat and keep his foot there.

You can’t play nice or scared.

I'm still in awe of the game plan for the 1992 NFC Championship Game

He had Norv Turner attack, attack and attack some more. He said later if he lost the game, it was because he went down swinging, not because he was afraid. It paid off.

It's the only way NFL teams with any

talent should play. I think Garrett plays scared and is a control freak but this is not the dominant o-line of the 90"s and Dallas should go no huddle more scheme better for o-line blocking,( maybe I mean get Sporano back and let Houck go).

Sounds good to me

I’ve never understood why Houck has gotten a free pass given the problems on the offensive line.

Elite?

Seems like that word is thrown around a lot here.

I hate that word

It seems ONLY applicable when ESPN and NFL Network want to anoint some player and look past any and every Cowboy including Ware and Witten and especially when they talk about Romo even when his stats scream ELITE.

I still haven't gotten over Schwant's taunting of Dez

And his temper tantrum after the 49ers beat them. And Suh’s cheap shots. Detroit was one of those teams I felt sorry for, now I hate them.

Crush them, Saints. Drew, I hope you throw for like 600 yards, and against this secondary, you can do it.

+1

They got trashy fast

some people can't handle success.

Can you blame them though? Detriot isn’t exactly a model city.

Detroit looks like it is in serious trouble. The city that is.

People are moving out in droves and parts of it look like a war zone, or a 3rd world area.
I wonder how much longer the city can make it, or if the team will eventually have to move due to a lack of a real fan base left.

Little known fact

Some of the best pheasant habitat in the state of Michigan is in the city limits of Detroit. Not even the coyotes go there, yet.

Taking on the personality of their coach.

And that isn’t a good thing.

real fast ! Go Breesy ! lol
On the bright side

At least Romo and Ware are still on the pre game song with faith.

I saw that, guess they didn't want to have to redo it for who was actually in the playoffs.
NBC did that to taunt us.
Nah, I am betting for lazy.
im betting on time and money
pfft thats the video from last year!

They still have the 50th patch

Calvin Johnson is just so damn big.
he was like a TE on that quick pass!
that was a nice play by the cb...

if he doesn’t get by the wr, that is a 20+ yard run

Just thinking of a sold out Superdome is amazing to me.

That place is so huge, did they add a big screen for people to watch? From the top you can only see little colored dots running around.
I know, I saw a few football games there from up near the top when I was young. My mother got free leftover tickets sometimes.

just the fact that they are still there after katrina is amazing to me

that place was destroyed.

True, it is so old and was in really bad shape.

I haven’t lived there since, hum. Sometime in the 70’s, late 70’s and early 80’s. And it wasn’t new then.

not structurally
Lions/Saints

This is refreshing. Match up between two QB’s who are 100x better than Romo. What I would do to have Stafford on this team.

you are a joke!

so you are going to tell me with a straight face that Romo is in Staffords league?

LOL

No I can't do that.

Stafford isn’t anyway near the level of Romo. And just so you understand Romo>Romo with a badly bruised hand> Romo with broken ribs> Stafford.

lions fans got to thank Romo

Because if it werent for him absolutely hoking against the Lions and giving the game away, Lions wouldnt be in the playoffs right now.

Sweet and the game wasn't 30-17 going into the fourth with our D choking?

Dude there is not one thing on this Earth that you can show to prove Stafford>Romo.

I do not understand people like you, you enjoy hating on the team you pretend to love.

so the D threw 3 interceptions?

HAHA..

Blind Romo fans…

Even with Romo gifting them 14 pts it was still 30-17

With our D caving in the 4th like usual.

But please I am waiting for you to show me how Stafford is better.

why are you so blind?

Two were returned for TD’s

One set the Lions up for another TD.

Romo choked. Stafford is better.

why are you so stupid?

Stupid because I think if Romo couldn’t get it done with 13 pro bowlers (LMAO), he will never take us anywhere?

Do you understand the game of football?

It was reeves and our awesome OL, and awesome I quit and drop balls at the best time Crayton.

Your feeding the troll.
I have nothing better to do.

I can out troll any troll.

You know, I bet you could.
I have lots of practice from gamefaqs.

Now those were trolls. The ones on here are more like baby dwarf trolls.

Hehe, that so tempts me to go and try to find a baby troll pic to post.
Hey Brandon...

quit using the word “we” when you are talking about the Cowboys. You’re not one of us. We are family and Romo is part of that. You are not, so just zip it and go watch hockey or something.

No. Stupid

because you are a troll that has nothing better to do.

Ha!
One set the Lions up for another TD.

Get your facts straight first.

And Brady had a game this year where he threw four interceptions including two for touchdowns

He must be awful.

um, yes they would

they would still be 10-6

doh!!!!

9-7 but they still would have gotten in.

Yes, and then im going to tell you

that you are an idiot. And it embarrasses me that Btb does not ban you for being such a troll.

There are times I wish we did ban people more.
kind of ticks me off too.
Yeah, we can tell :)
I am right there with you.

They don’t delete stupid post, or ban obvious trolls. We have over 10,000 members how about some addition by subtraction right?!

But they sure will delete comments

from longtime contributing members.

And with the recent trolling of rec post that I fanshot

I think we should combat that with raising the rec amount it takes to get a post up top. I mean heck most the time they get 6-10 recs anyway.

I just get so tired of it

the rules clearly state that trolling will not be tolerated. Yet, here it is. All the time. With people that are clearly trolling and just trying to piss people off.

Well to mix it up a little bit.

Do what seanrude does and just agree with them in a mockingly way haha.

Classic stuff.

yea, im tired of bitchin about it

Romo sucks.

Of course he does, he has worn his hat backwards before.
Naw the troll ran away.

Fanshot police/Troll slayer!

WOOT, go you!
was it magic??!?!?!?!?!

You’re my hero.

Willpower
thats some strong stuff
Blow this guy off

It is BrandonB from Bleeding Green Nation out for a troll

Hey Birddog.

Hadn’t seen you in awhile and figured you were busy with the game on.

He is in NO he said.

I can’t wait for his draft post coming up.

The game is in NO.
Oh I know

but he wasn’t there for this game. see below doh

Yeah, I didn't realize that before.

Figured he was in NO, he was at the game.

talked about it in another thread it ok
I had this trip booked for the BCS Champ. game for a few months

Could not score good tickets for tonights game, so just watching at the hotel with some friends

That is a good way to chill for a bit.
And a great place for it.
It wasn't pretty when I was there.

But the home cookin was amazing

I love Cajun food.

I order some shipped in once a year. I took some of the gumbo and a boudin, etc to work last week and they were very grateful.

This was served out of the bed of a truck.

Nothing finer !

Yeah it is

Crazy here this weekend with NO in playoffs and LSU in the championship game

I bet.

The French Quarter will be rocking if the Saints win.

Hope so, going out after the game
LOL, headache inc!

I love a Crash & Burn from Pat O’Brians.

Taking some vacation

Watching the game at my hotel and going to Bama/LSU game Monday night

Nice.

I bet you really rack up the hotel/airline points.

who is that?

Did you mean JasonB or is that his brother haha

+10000000000000000
You can always flag the posts and report it to Dave.
Who makes the decision on bans anyhow?

Just wondering how the process works.

it is in the rules and guidelines

trolling is included

Just not enforced.
Why have rules if they're not enforced?
no kidding

I agree, but im not going to get worked up on this again.

Sorry Paul, I got here late.
you're all good

i just got really fired up about earlier. Trying to enjoy my night.

You never quit, do you?
I have an idea
What I would do to have Stafford on this team.

I have an idea of what you can do.

I am going to have to go look up that fanshot that showed how to "ignore" posters.
seriously this Brandon10 guy I belive its an eagles fan.

No cowboy fan would use the number 10 on their name. He must be a Desean fan.

We don't even have anyone with #10 do we?
Well,

first he tried the name Brandon. It was taken. So he tried Brandon 1. Then Brandon 2. Then Brandon 3. The 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and then finally he got lucky with 10.

LOL good one Paul.

And no we dont even have a # 10 on our roster.

Happens to him at the bar too.
happing to me right now
good gawd my english is lacking tonight
And you are posting?
i got skillz
Talk about multi tasking.

I would be seriously insulted btw. :P

You would be at first,

then you’d just be happy to be apart of it :)

Nah, you are alone.

No room for anyone else with you with that ego in the room. :P

tis true.

BTW, i was talking about beers. 10 beers you dirty minded girl you.

uhhuh
hahaha

i was. i swear. really.

Please don't mind me.

It doesn't matter WHAT YOU THINK!

Young ripping up the Saints D
Jason Hanson

I can remember him playing against the cowboys when the tripleletts were still together

Been there forever

And really good

And favre still can stay away...

*cant

Heh, reading a story that said Stafford wanted to go out and throw warm up passes and they wouldn't let him have the field.

LSU’s band was practicing on it and they had precedence.

Lol
Oh fudge

Turnover, Saints.

mmm fudge
I really really don't want Detroit to win
They can't beat the Packers
You're not alone
Funny story on Yahoo about Goodell.

Pic shows him sitting all alone in a luxury box at the Texans game. So they took a stab at the top reasons he was alone.

1. Three people in his row celebrated a Texans touchdown as a group; Goodell summarily suspended them.
2. Was bogarting the popcorn (see bright yellow arrow, in case it wasn’t clear enough).
3. George H.W. Bush had an ice luge in his luxury box.
4. Annoyed everyone by repeatedly reminding them that his signature is on the football.
5. Figured that a playoff game in Texas meant he was in Dallas and was waiting for Jerry Jones to show up.
lol at #5 and 1
Lions WR thought about throwing a punch there. Not smart.

Good job by the Saints DB to piss him off a bit.

PI??
there's a game on? haha
watching my gf play skyrim > lions saints game
I bought that, but I haven't opened it yet.
I don't do rpgs

and this is her first serious one(kingdom hearts was other) she loves it and i love that she loves it, much better than her playing CoDooty

I normally do MMORGP's. Or at least that has been normal the last 15ish years.
I tried my first one DCUO

And yeah.. no good, took too much effort with leagues/guilds. Plus I guess its more of a PC thing anyway.

Ill stick to my UC and MGS type games.

Yeah, I am a PC gamer.

Never got into the Xbox or PS3’s.

NES, SNES, Sony since then.

I would love for nintendo to put out a real console…I miss DK.

Last gaming console I had was a Atari, way back when they first came out.

Frogger, astroids, etc.

i go to an awesome website

that allows you to play video games from the 80’s for free. Has all the classics.

haha most phones can do that haha

I have roms that let me play ps games for free

My phone makes, gee, phone calls.

But I am stubborn like that, if I want to play I will get on my comp.

I bought one computer and now have a laptop

They are a thing of the past already and an horrible investment. So I can’t see gaming on one either. haha

Ever see falcon NW comps?

The paint jobs are out of this world.

meh haha

Most of my friends play with an open case anyway. Thats like putting stripes on your car. Its not going to make it any faster so whats the point haha.

I won't spend the $ for it, but they are cool looking.
during the week leading up to christmas

work was so slow that would literally spend the whole day playing video games and at BTB. All while getting paid. It was great.

Wow, I don't have internet access at work.

So I can only surf at home.

I remember pong /hangs head.
no need to hang head

pong still rules

Ever hear of the t-shirt site Roadkilltshirts.com?
theres a couple shirt sites like that

but yes that one is good.

i like tshirthell.com
I got me several t-shirts for work last month.

The company employees were coming up to me every day asking what my new shirt said that day.
One of them has a Atari joystick on it and says “Old Skol”.

ADOM

The greatest RPG ever. And it’s free.

Mr. Biskup made an amazing game.

I still use it for inspiration during game design classes.

To bad he didn't get a INT.
Lol, my cat is griping at me, she says it is past my bedtime.

She was really pissed at me last night for staying up so late. She came in and woke me up every 30 minutes to try and teach me a lesson. I threw her off the bed twice and she decided to quit.

Vick!

It’s Vick everybody! He’s moved on to cats!
;)

go saints.
Touchdown, Saints

Ten plays, 90 yards.

Very nice job.
Wow I just realized

From the NFC, Brees, Rodgers, and Manning have gone to the Super Bowl. Vick and Cutler have played in conference championships.

Romo… botches a fg snap and costs his team the game in the playoffs. Yes, this guy would be elite… if John Beck is.

get a life, stop complaining

Yeah but you are forgetting.

It was the defense who couldnt stop shaun alexander at our own 1 yd line.

I just realized

you are a douche. No wait, i already knew that.

It also was bill who didn't put together a gameplan to attack insurance agent cornerbacks
Let's not feed the troll

That’s what he wants.

His cover is blown, he is a Eagles fan with a 2nd account trolling.
troll the troll

Ill outlast him

1 of my new t-shirts make me think of him.

“Some people are like Slinky’s. They aren’t really good for anything, but they bring a smile to your face when you push them down a flight of stairs.”

Lol!!

I need a shirt like that!

They have a deal going atm, buy 3 and get 6 free.

I just got nephews and nieces bday and xmas presents for next year for cheap!
Little buggers better not grow lol.
Here is a link for it.

http://www.roadkilltshirts.com/SOME-PEOPLE-ARE-LIKE-SLINKIES-T-SHIRTWHITE-INK-P11958.aspx

Thats funny

I see Brandon10’s comments and i think of this tshirt.

lol

I wanted to get one of my nephews the one that says, Fart loading, please wait. And has the loading bar. I was told no, it was inappropriate.

Now that is just plain old funny
or this tshirt

Wish I could with some people.
Awesome!

Thanks! I wear nothing but jeans and t-shirts, so getting new t-shirts is exciting for me, lol.

then you have to check out this site

www.tshirthell.com

Ok, I couldn't wear those to work.

Not good for a govt office.

but you have to admit

a lot of them are hilarious.

The one I like a lot that I can't take to work says.

My Indian name is Runs With Beer.
It has a Indian on it running with a can in his hand.

so many good ones.

I like the one that says. “I already hate the next President”

I am blowing my entire bank account on that website now
Nah, I got the 9 shirts last week for only $62 plus $15 for shipping.
great isn't it?
So funny

I swear I would get my ass kicked for some of them, but it would be worth it.

ive neve actually bought anything from them

only because i dont want any kids to see me wearing them But i go there to laugh all the time.

I used to have a silly rabbit shirt, I only wore it around the house.

But I really loved it. To bad it finally wore completely out.
I couldn’t wear it out as it had a anti gay message that I found amusing. A friend of mine had the same shirt and wore it on her motorcycle. I was always afraid someone was going to run her off the road or hit her.

The closet thing I have to a dirty tshirt right now

is one carolina blue that says.

“DUCK FUKE”

Now switch the d and the f and you get the message.

See, I get this feeling that you are anti-Duke

Not sure where I got it, but it’s there.

i have no idea where you get that from
He just pulled it out of thin air.

It doesn't matter WHAT YOU THINK!

Please put something in the title line so I can close those pics. Thanks

Lapse of judgement, but oh so fitting.

I don't care if you post them, I just like to close them to be able to go to comments faster.

Shoot, I put a big one up higher. :)

I was thinking this would be a blowout

But the Lions are hanging in there, for now.

pretty throw by stafford

perfect back shoulder pass

I have to say....

what the Lions are doing agains the Saints is impressive.

The offensive talent on these two teams is absurd

It was a little surprising how quietly the Lions went down against the Packers, Bears and Saints this year given that talent.

Calvin Johnson may be the first wr since Randy Moss I would describe as “impossible to defend”. A guy that tall and that strong should not be able to run that fast and catch the ball that well.

Well if you fuse together Moss and TO and subtract the headaches, there ya go.

My turn for ps3 peace!
Take care bigham
Hum, where to move next.

Commercial’s are a good time to see what jobs are posted as open to put in for.

Well if you are in the DFW area I will be hiring an assitant
Hehe, ty for that, but I work for the govt.

I am taking some classes for a promotion, but I have to get a 1 grade higher job for a year to be able to get the bigger job. So I am keeping a eye on openings. I am refusing to app for all the ones open in NJ and other places such as that.

I did live in D/FW for several years. In fact I graduated from L.D.Bell HS.

so you're a fed huh?????

Excuse me while I clear off my hard drive.

O.o

I could show you my badge. :P

My oldest nephew used to have a really annoying habit of stealing my badge if he could get a hold of it.

In fact he is 18 and did it again Thanksgiving. I was looking for it everywhere and the sucker had it.

You aren't going to make me refer your case to the DOJ for further action are you?
Who me?

I dont know what you’re talking about.

I know LD Bell and Trinity well.

Played them in HS quite a bit. I am from Midland

I had a good friend that went there.

I had a friend at Trinity, we decided to piss everyone off and we switched letter jackets the week we played each other. And wore them to our schools. Lot of people weren’t amused.

Are you the guy that

took out Booby Miles knee?

Miles was a few years after me
emailing resume now
I don't blame you 2, it would be a dream job if you don't mind the travel.
*raises hand

I live in DFW!

Contact me at birddog26@gmail.com
You are going to get buried now lol.

GL guys.

Thats fine, the more good candidates the better
That would be awesome

But I doubt you want somebody like me. Just a recent high school grad with no real work experience. This damn economy, I can’t even find a job at Walmart :/

we need to work on your confidence bro
Haha, not gonna lie it's pretty low right now

I’m not one to go much into my personal life on here, but it’s hard times right now. I’m an optimist though, so Ive got faith that I’ll get through it :)

There are good govt jobs that people have no idea are there. And they are fairly easy to qualify for.

For instance for the USDA you can go get a job at a slaughter house, after a year you can qualify as a meat inspector. You start at almost $40k a year, plus OT and great benefits.

That's cool information, thank you.

I will definitely look into it.

Sure

There are a few jobs that start out at a GS 5, that is the grade all the inspectors are hired in as. But it is in a area they have trouble getting people to work in, so it is a auto promotion every year for 3-4 years.
1 just closed in Maine like that, there are some open in NJ, CA, etc. If you are willing to move you can get a job pretty quick.
They also pay a $8,000 signing bonus for high need areas. They also will move you. You have to stay a year, then you can put in for a transfer to anywhere.
Just make sure you can afford to live there if you pick somewhere like NJ or CA.

Here is the basic app for the job. You can select up to 5 areas you are willing to work in after you app, and take a short multi choice test. The test is easy after you work in a slaughter house and know what the inspectors do.
https://my.usajobs.gov/GetJob/ViewDetails/2052124

Thank you very much

I really do appreciate it.

Sure, save that link in case you decide to go for it later.

It will expire end of Sept usually, then they just repost a identical one.
They love to hire company employees of slaughter houses, they know what to do already.

You can also qualify with a years experience for things like a shift manager at a restaurant, etc.
Go ahead and send me your resume, I use different people on a temp basis during the year.
Cool, thanks
Fairley should be in WWE, nice throw.
Now how many of you guys are watching online and hit the picture in a picture view.

That way you are watching the Saints cheerleaders instead of the jazz band.

thanks for the suggestion
ahh McQuistian, stiil being useless I see.
Ok, if I am going to really stay up and watch/chat I am going to have to go and get a drink.

And that TD better count!

Yes!

TD, Saints.

Two beautiful throws by Breed there
*Brees
Brees unleashes the dragon. TD.
Brees is like:

What you’re not gonna catch my first throw. Well fine, catch this one

Nice, I barely got back in time to see it.

And fyi, trying to turn a large mattress by yourself in a small room sucks!

Gotta love the lions begging for a flag and then having it thrown against them
Oh the irony.
They deserve every call
Wow, that was wide open.
it seems like the saints rbs are running through 5 guys at a time on some plays..
Do coaches coach this?

Do they scout for it?

Well, I gotta go to a very late family dinner

Good night all and go saints (going to shower after saying that)

I like Peyton's aggressive offense

I wish Garrett would stop playing it safe sometimes

They shouldn't give forward progress when he pulled the ball back. Not sure that was a good call.
Looked good to me

Plus I’m pretty sure he had it without the extension

They gave him the extended spot

it would’ve been close otherwise.

Ah ok

I don’t have a very good stream right now

I see officials screw up forward progress all the time. Especially when guys are trying to get out of bounds
Yeah, they do. Sometimes they aren't even close.
oh, you're right actually...

didn’t think about that

We don't have Payton's o line.

If we did it could make a huge difference. Reason number 98523987209857293847297 to draft Castro if he is there at 14

I'm all for it
OG, DE, and CB. From the top three draft picks or FA
YUP
Or a big sloppy NT and move Rat to DE
Oh hell ya. I have wanted that since Ferguson left.
I would have to agree with you

DeCastro is a hell of a talent that could upgrade the Boys Oline

Bird what part of Dallas do u live in ?
Just purchased a condo in Craigs Ranch

Selling my condo in South Padre Island

Cool. I lived in Lewisville for a shirt time as well as Mesquite.
Lake Lewisville is a great place
In Dallas I do a lot od work out of the Michael Johnson Peformance Center located in Craigs Ranch
That makes it handy to live close.
I have easy acces there along with Valley Ranch and DFW Airport
Cool. One of my very good friends lived in Valley ranch for a long time Bird.

1 block over from the Cowboys facilities. Sadly he committed suicide one night.

Do you train athletes for the combine ?
Yes, I do pre-combine training in Dallas

I then do 6 weeks training clients postdraft in Pheonix at Fischer Sports after the draft thenbacck to Dallas. Then I do a 2 week DB’s camp at IMG performance center in Tampa in early June.

Poe. 350lbs of man.
I wonder if he would be available in the second round for us. He looks like a reach for us in the 1st and may be gone before we pick in the 2nd.
i think houston drafts him in the first
I'd be pissed but not surprised if that is the case

with the D, houston has already. You’d be an idiot (or Jones) not to make it even better.

OMG. Megatron. what a catch
lol that is so close. I think it's a TD

can u imagine poe on that d ? Damn

Schwartz is annoying as hell
That right there is what Dallas can't do on 4th downs.
But why is he doing good in the playoffs...he wears backwards caps.
Td here and that's ball game
Collingsworth has become the worst analyst on TV

His clear partanship for Detroit is just wrong and should get him fired.

I hate Michaels more than any announcer on tv
If Romo threw that INT he'd be crucified.
Totally.
And you know what, I'd probably be handing them the nails. Sad really.
The cadre of rb's in new Orleans is impressive.
This is about done.

on another note, how do you put a signature on posts?

Stafford throws a bad INT. That makes me giggle.
Hehe, yeah.
so jealous of the saint's interior lineman
Wonder what the Saints are going to end up having to pay if they want to keep Brees.
Dont they have him franchised already?

nail in the coffin.

No, he broke off talks a few weeks ago and said he wanted to focus on the playoffs.
Rumors were they weren't close at all.
Oh good, though I got a gut-feeling they'll work something out soon

Believe it or not some organizations pay extra money to GOOD players.

No way imo they can keep Nicks and Brees.
Killshot touchdown? I don't know about that Al.
Great o lines just wear out opponents and allow you the time or rushing lanes you need to close out a game.
DeCastro is looking more and more appealing.
I buy into mensa's first pick

Now he and I will argue some on the others but it will be a great debate.

HTH !! It will

Who do you have in the second ?

Still not decided.

I spent a lot of time in Florence, Ala. looking at and investigating Janoris Jenkins.

I don think he falls to the second. Talent trumps everything.

If he did fall to us though I would sprint to the table.

Draft time, fun fun.

And yeah, DeCastro looks sweet.

And there is the game.
Ok Birddog, you can head over to the French Quarter now. It will be rocking. :)
Take Care Everyone

It has been a good night. Now time to go and party some.

Megatron is careless with the ball. Dez would have people screaming.
Superdome is still a great stadium.
Megatron is such a beast

good god

ok, who faces the winner of this game?
Saints go to San Fran
If the Lions win they play the Pack.
They just go full throttle and don't let off the gas. I love that type of mentality.
Unleashing the dragon again.
Saints have scored more points in each quarter

0, 10, 14, 21.

Can they win in GB?
That will be tough

Saints historically haven’t played away from domes, and the weather in Lambeau won’t be favorable. They’ll have to beat SF first, and that should be a great game.

Ugh, true. I've lost track; do they have the two seed over SF?
No

They’re the 3rd

Thanks. Too bad.
Deleted the BTB FF PCT.
Sigh, why cant we have a secondary that does that?
Dave Campo
thanks.
Hopefully on the way out
though seriously, why is he still around. I still remember that crap stint he had as "hc"

I hope he’s the first to go.

He's a 'yes' man

And Jerry loves those kind of guys.

And that's why I'd love to introduce Jerry to my crowbar.
Why can't we have a secondary, O line, and running game like that?
More points, Sean! More! More!

I want to see the Lions humiliated.

I can already hear Schwartz crying

They ran up the score and that’s unsportsman-like and wha,wha, wha

The draft cant come any faster, sigh. Night.
Funny what an O line and a running game has done for Drew Brees. He had a pretty

off year last year, and this year, I think he’s MVP.

Highly satisfying end. Schwartz and his team can suck it.
+88
Yeah, I still have no idea why he felt it necessary to rip on Bryant.
The offensive line performance you saw tonight is why the Saints are Superbowl favorites

That offensive line is why Drew Brees is never complimented for his “escape-ability” like Romo is, because Brees doesn’t have to escape free rushers.

+1

games are won in the trenches

You can see why both of the winners today had effective offenses. Yates had excellent

protection for Houston as well. I’m so jealous of those O lines.

How good has Tom Brady's line been over the years?

Wars are won in the trenches.

A Virtuoso Coaching Performance.....

by Sean Payton. That’s how a coach manages a team facing a high powered offense with the Saints somewhat poor defense. The aggression on fourth downs, the playcalling, the second half adjustments were just brilliant. Somebody send this game tape to Jason Garrett. My favorite moment was the Drew Brees fourth down QB sneak play and I immediately flashed back to Romo’s limp failed attempt against the Giants. Just a great coaching job.

The Saints line was terrific today

Garrett has very rarely had that benefit.

I love Peyton’s aggression though.

I was going to say the same thing. The Cowboys O line got no push, and Boley made

a really good play. I don’t think that was bad coaching.

Who helped scout our line and put them on the field?

That would be Garrett. Its his line. He’s the offensive coordinator. Its his problem Has been for years, Jerry notwithstanding.

Well, that's fine, but that wasn't the original issue. You were talking about game

management, not personnel.

To me, its all included.

Unless you have size like Brady or Roethlisburger, or some hops like Brees showed, maybe you shouldn’t expect your often injured quarterback with a suspect offensive line to get push when they hadn’t run the ball effectively all game. I think thats part of managing the game. Just sayin.

That's different. Fair enough. Romo is capable of running it, as he showed

against the Bucs, but no question having him run was not a good idea in this game, given the fact that it had to be hard to secure the ball with that bad hand.

Well....

Garrett helps scout the O-Line talent and he helped put those guys on the field, so he’s responsible for the poor line play as much as Jerry is. No excuses there.

I hope

The 49ers get absolutely destroyed by the Saints. I live in Cali and I can’t stand their fans now.

It's going to be an interesting game. The NO offense against one of the best defenses, if

not the best, in the NFL. I think the NO D can take the SF O.

Yeah,

I know Romo and Vick shredded there secondary. They get by on field goals and field position. With the Saints offensive line, I think Brees with have another big game.

I know exactly what you mean

I live in Virginia and went to SanFrancisco to watch the "boys play the 9ers and the fans were as bad as the Redskin fans are here. I have been to Dallas numerous times to see the Cowboys and have never seen opposing fans being crapped on like other city’s do.

They've had fan violence at some of their games, haven't they?
Yup

A shooting. I think someone died, or was hurt. I cant remember. When the Cowboys played at Candlestick in week 2, it was overrun by Cowboys fans.

Wow_ glad I missed it
Heh, I like that the Cowboys fans represented.
It was 50/50 Cowboys to 49ers fans

but I meant i was glad I missed the shooting

I think

It was in preseason. The shooting wasnt after the Cowboys game.

Yeah, I don't think it was our game either.
I'm not saying it hasn't happened but I've not seen it in Dallas

I was actually told by some people at the Hyatt in SF I should be careful wearing Cowboy’s t-shirts around different parts of that area. We went for a week.

When I watch the Saints offense

I look at the Cowboys offense and wish we could be explosive like that on a consistent basis.

If this team doesn’t take a pass rusher in the first, then they had better draft DeCastro.

Ya Gotta Remember

They have Brees… We have Romolomodingdong.
