They have yet to establish Turner on the ground, kid with new toy wanting to go to J Jones.
Plus there Defense has not produced like they should, Edwards is not a #1 pass rusher. [/quote]
The problem with Turner is that, the Falcons are always down in the count early in the game, so instead of handing the ball off more often they are forced to pass more to get ahead. Once the Falcons start getting a lead early, you’ll see Turner turn it on.[/quote]
I agree, defenses have started stacking the middle the first few plays because they know Turners coming. We need to be more creative and he’ll be able to get a lot more yards.
Hell the whole team needs to clean up. The O line has got to step up. They don’t open holes for Turner, but the do open wholes for the opponent’s linebackers…That’s a little backwards.

In regards to Costa, he stated that the Redskins D were calling phantom snaps, which is technically illegal… the Cowboys reported them to the NFL. Anyways, regardless, Costa has to listen to Romo (and LOOK at him through his legs) and only Romo.[/quote]
Since the Cowboys won this game I can bitch about the refs, if they had lost I could not say shit.
That was the worst officiated game I have seen in over a year. Just fucking horrible.[/quote]
There were a bunch this weekend. There was an obvious face mask right in the official’s face in the Falcons game that was never called. That hit on Vick, like him or not, was roughing the passer, etc.

Then there’s the defense. They can make stops but they cannot tackle for some mysterious reason. It’s epidemic. I don’t understand. If the O line starts making their blocks and the defense tackles that will turn the entire look of the team around.
Fortunately I think the problems are fixable with who we have, we’ve been way to sloppy in these first few games.

But you still can work play action off the Turner threat, seems like they run out of shotgun to much and Turner is not on the field.

Those stats are worthless. Look where it got the Chargers last year.

The thing I love love love about New Orleans is the fans. They show up to party but they’re also smart about the game. It’s really cool. I think if the Lions stay competitive we might see Ford Field get this crazy too.
One can hope?
Any NFC East game, and I mean ANY, is like going to church. Giants/Philly looked to be awesome, but watching that game was painful. The announcers weren’t into it, it was just slooooow.
Football is supposed to be fun, so the NFL needs to be the MOST Fun.

Sunday was my first trip to a Saint’s game after living here 34 years. I don’t have a baseline to compare against but have heard from some seasoned ticket holders that the DOME was the loudest they have heard it. Part of it is just having a solid team in the post-Superbowl win era. We all have this fear we will return to bottom feeding.
As far as fun, the whole place had a blast before during and after except for the parts where we were getting our asses kicked. I took my 2 daughters and mother. I have great video of them celebrating, dancing, jumping nad fist pumping as the Saints took the lead in the 4th Qtr. A minute and a half later as a batted-nearly iontercepted ball gets knocked up in the air into a Texan receiver who wades into the end zone for a TD putting Houston back on top. And, yes, I got them all on video sloched in seats, big sighs nad faces in hands - also on video. Great contrast and great illustration of Saints fans security (Drew Brees and Sean Payton) and insecurities (haunting memories of being the Aints).

WTF, why was Costa doing so bad with the snaps? Can someone explain? In the post-game interview Romo mentioned that Costa said the Redskins were calling their cadence or something…[/quote]
I think he was trying real hard to give me a fucking heart attack, heard in post game interview he has a grudge against me for some past transgression.
Romo is a stud in my eyes forever now. Haters beware.[/quote]
He has earned a lot of national respect the last few games. I have cracked a rib. It hurt to breathe for a month! I barely got out of my desk chair the whole time. Playing a football game seems absurd, especially, with a ‘healed’ punctured lung! I did not receive the same high-dollar medical care and high-tech pain relief injection into the exact spot of the problem but damn he toughed it out big time.

I agree, they’ve gone up against two shit QB’s and one good one. Shaub will torch them this week if those LB’s can’t get to him.

Steelers better plan to stop the run first, cause the Texans have that shit tuned to high gear.

Like I said, it’s become to predictable now, though. Their stuff the middle and watching for the play action. I’d like to start out side to side a little more, then when you spread out the D run Turner. Good teams won’t be fooled so you can’t just do the same thing every week.

No shit! Pittsburgh has to play perfect to win this game, Texans not so much.
Ike Taylor will be on Johnson every snap, great machup. The middle will be open all day for Shaub if he can wait it out in the pocket.

Houston better take advantage of the Steelers’ slow start, it ain’t going to last. And since they have that good run game, it will be of good use. And please, someone clean Roethlisberger’s clock… Knock him on his ass…
Texans release Slayton, you think your team may grab him off waivers?[/quote]
ABSOLUTELY not! Greene & LT will be fine once they tighten that O line up again. Going to be difficult, but once Mangold is back it’ll look a little better.
What they need to work on is getting a decent outside edge rusher who can stop the run. Signed Maybin AGAIN today. But I am very interested in seeing if they would think about Aaron Curry. I know he was a bust in Sea. but in Rex’s system, you just never know.
Key to Sun night, beating the hell out of Ray Rice. That is the only shot we got of winning in my hometown.
