2020 WC Weekend Game Thread

The scuffle on the Saints sideline reminded me of McGinest/Izzo in Denver 05.

 

[Nator]

Patton Oswald and Sean Payton look like brothers.

Lee Harvey's brother?

 

[McBride11]

So what happens to all the narratives if the Vikings win this game? I mean, I was told Kirk Cousins couldn't win a game like this. Even if the Vikings lose, he has looked pretty damn good.

Vikings are thankful they got the 1pm game.

oof wasted nice fake punt.

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

You just get that nagging feeling that the league has it in for the Saints.

 

[DeadlySplitter]

this is going to be another year all four home teams win next week, isn't it?

 

[wibi]

You just get that nagging feeling that the league has it in for the Saints.

By calling a false start?

 

[Mystic Merlin]

They’ve underwhelmed in the playoffs for years.

 

[johnmd20]

Minney averts absolute disaster.

 

[normstalls]

I think GB is definitely beatable

 

[DJnVa]

Brees and the cliff???

 

[Average Reds]

You just get that nagging feeling that the league has it in for the Saints.

By insisting that rules apply to them?

 

[McBride11]

That was a weird cadence, it was like a banshee scream.

 

[johnmd20]

These refs are lost.

That wasn't close to a catch.

 

[Soxy]

He’s a pro, knew exactly what he was doing. Made me laugh

I had noticed them on the last kick notably turning to look at the camera in time with the kick. This time, they came with both barrels ready.

 

[cshea]

What a calamity. Punt on 3rd down.

 

[McBride11]

Minney averts absolute disaster.

And again!

 

[Al Zarilla]

It would take some of the heat off the Pats on the Monday morning talk shows if the Saints lose here. Not watching them anyway, but still.

 

[McBride11]

3rd down draw?? This OC is a loser!

 

[BigSoxFan]

Saints are still winning this game

 

[DeadlySplitter]

I think GB is definitely beatable

I thought NO had it easily. Not sure SEA (with no RBs) or PHI can if this score holds up

 

[Deathofthebambino]

That was really close, and putting the angles together it’s probably a toss up as to whether the ball reaches the line.

Not sure how the officials could know live on that one. That was a play tailor made for replay but all the angles sucked.

That's why they called it a TD. Let the automatic replay kick in and overturn it if it's wrong. Wish the Bogar crew did that on the TD by Harry that they said he stepped out on. We're probably still playing if they handle that correctly.

 

[luckiestman]

Vikings were a mess on that last series. Lucky to punt.

 

[normstalls]

I thought NO had it easily. Not sure SEA (with no RBs) or PHI can if this score holds up

Fair point.

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

By insisting that rules apply to them?

Sure, when it's convenient. Unless it's blatant pass interference in a crucial spot, then all bets are off.

 

[E5 Yaz]

Jared Cook and Kyle Rudolph

 

[Deathofthebambino]

The Saints would be wise to abandon the run at this point. 14 minutes left, down by two scores. Get Kamara in there as a receiver out of the backfield, and look to him, Thomas and Cook and let it fly.

 

[Deathofthebambino]

Ben Watson ain't making that catch, and Matt LaCosse wouldn't even be in the vicinity.

 

[DJnVa]

The Saints would be wise to abandon the run at this point. 14 minutes left, down by two scores. Get Kamara in there as a receiver out of the backfield, and look to him, Thomas and Cook and let it fly.

And no more Taysom Hill taking snaps.

 

[johnmd20]

Ben Watson ain't making that catch, and Matt LaCosse wouldn't even be in the vicinity.

Pats at TE this year were extremely limited. Bottom unit in the league, for both catching and blocking.

 

[Soxy]

Always makes me smile how Ted Ginn ended up carving out a nice NFL career for himself. Was considered a bust forever, yet he's still here making plays.

 

[E5 Yaz]

I wonder of the Ertzes race to see who climaxes first

 

[shawnrbu]

And no more Taysom Hill taking snaps.

Hill has been very good today.

 

[BigSoxFan]

So true. Dude is in Year 13 of his career. Never would have guessed that.

 

[E5 Yaz]

Always makes me smile how Ted Ginn ended up carving out a nice NFL career for himself. Was considered a bust forever, yet he's still here making plays.

400+ career catches on 1,250 targets

 

[johnmd20]

Hill is having a game. Wow.

 

[Al Zarilla]

Always makes me smile how Ted Ginn ended up carving out a nice NFL career for himself. Was considered a bust forever, yet he's still here making plays.

They were glad to see him leave SF in 2012 at the age of 27, and look at him now.

 

[BigSoxFan]

Hill is having a game. Wow.

And Harrison Smith is...not.

 

[Soxy]

400+ career catches on 1,250 targets

You spelled 754 wrong.

 

[Mystic Merlin]

And Harrison Smith is...not.

Got caught in between with Kamara leaking out

 

[Ale Xander]

Taysom!

 

[johnmd20]

You spelled 754 wrong.

Seriously. 754 is a big difference from 1250.

 

[Deathofthebambino]

Still pissed that Lutz missed that field goal before halftime.

 

[patinorange]

Hill is having a game. Wow.

Bill is in a dark room watching this. His type of guy.

 

[cshea]

I’m sure Cousins and the Vikings will have a well organized, well executed drive here.

 

[luckiestman]

[Soxy]

Going to Carolina saved his career. He was a punchline until then. I have no idea what happened there, but good for him.

 

[DJnVa]

Hill has been very good today.

Sure...throw him passes. But I would want Brees taking every snap as QB.

 

[johnmd20]

Diggs spinning, Cousins blocking. That was a fun play.
