Week 6 TNF: Atlanta Falcons @ New Orleans Saints

[Froob]

Bit too high of a throw by Brees, but still a catchable pass. I'd probably put that one more on Brees tho.

I haven't spent a lot of time watching Drew Brees, but I'm shocked at his passing. Either the pass is at the receiver's shoelaces or it's over their heads. I know he's not tall but wow.

 

[Froob]

lol Saints really couldn't bring down Ryan?

 

[anditsgood]

Wow NOLA is so bad, all these turnovers and they are still only winning by a score

they definitely earned that 1-4 record

The Pats never incorporated Watson into their offense, but the guy had great talent. He made some amazing catches when his number was called . That game winning TD against Buffalo in 09 and that TD in 07 playoffs against JAX stood out most. Of course that Champ Bailey "touchback" play was one of the greatest in NFL history.

ryans passes has been the same so far too

That is the play i remember most

If i remember correctly, we were far off on the $$$s

The Pats incorporated Watson into the offense. Stop the B.S. He had a lot of dropped passes during his time here.

His shoulder's not right, his OL is a shadow of what it used to be, and his high powered receiving corps has been depleted. It's all come together to produce this result.*



*And that's not counting any possible skill lost to the aging process

 

[robbomango]

They still call him that? Would have thought a few playoff stinkers would have put an end to that one.

Is it a college nickname? I don't understand it, yes he has some game winning comebacks but so do a lot of other guys, some with super bowl success.

Was watching a vid on youtube and Ryan referred to himself as "Matty Ice" when answering the phone, I was just like hmmmm....

 

[varjao]

It should have been a blowout by now.

The Falcons are pulling a stinker very typical for them, Chargers, Chiefs, etc.. This center is awful and will keep screwing up in the second half.

Yes it started in college. I remember him orchestrating a last minute victory over VT in his last year...that was around the time I recall him being referred to as "Matty Ice".

Both teams are mediocre. Carolina and Atlanta are probably the weakest undefeated teams left.

Denver might be the least impressive but, is anybody really afraid of going into Cincy for a playoff game?

 

[Hoodie]

The conspiracy theorist in me thinks the blocked punt was planned because they decided to honor Steve Gleason. But I know the NFL wouldn't do that because Integrity!

Afraid is not the word i would use, stronger of the AFC competition, yes

The Bengals are solid, their only problem is Dalton in post season form.

 

[Gronkowski123]

nothing scary about dalton/marvin lewis.

saints paid a lot of $$$$ for ingram/spiller while we get dion lewis on the cheap.
even more proof that BB is the greatest GM in league history.

Yeah that was a bizarre offseason for the Saints. They didn't have anywhere near the cap space to spend premium money on one running back let alone two.
