Is there really any other sport? Not in my book

 

[cardsfan93]

Does anyone have a link to a website with a live feed of the audio / play-by-play? I'm stuck in the office but after seven LONG months it is time to get the season started!

I'm watching Auburn at Miss. State. Because those are the two schools my daughter is considering. Academics, forget it. She wants big time football on Saturday. They may not be elite teams this year but the atmosphere is terrific.

I told her to go to Az State. Then she could have small time football on Saturday and big time football on Sunday.

Saints are picking up right where they left off

That looked easy. Now the Farvuh lovefest starts.

Listened to Fitz being interviewed before the game (on the radio broadcast). When asked for a prediction he said that the Saints were pretty much the same team offensively as last season and he felt they would win the game. Then he added: "I'm still a Minnesota Vikings fan. I always want them to win every game...unless we play them."

I would be very suprised if he didn't play for the Vikes at some point of his career

Not a bad game, and not a great game. Neither team left me scared of playing them down the road.

The Saints are a very bad matchup for us. Our Oline isn't a good matchup for the Saints bag of tricks blitz packages & we don't have the secondary depth to matchup with their receivers, they have 5 pretty darn good ones. Spread our D out in 4 wides & Bush and we are in deep doodoo. Unless we can run the ball alot & keep their O off the field we will get toasted by them again.

Depends. It's not like Denny Green is still there. Fitz isn't going to Minnesota to play for Brad Childress and with Tarvaris Jackson, IMO.

 

[desertdawg]

I am trying to figure out what was better, the game (it was good) or the Nissan polar bear commercial.

 

[splitsecond]

that game was a snoozefest. weren't these supposed to be powerhouse offenses?

Yeah....pretty boring game. Especially the second half. Vikings just had no rhythm and Favre looked tired. Maybe he should have gone to training camp to get in better condition.

I could very well see Fitz ending up in a Viking uniform. Could you imagine him and Rice on opposite sides of the field?

As much as he states he likes it here, it's still a business and money is the motivating factor. Location is only a determining factor if the money is the same.

Yeah, not when he has All-Pro Derek Anderson here

I have Brees in my fantasy league and played him last night. Not much there.

Percy Harvin got me a whole point.

McKinnie 6'8" 335
Loadholt 6'8" 343

How in the world do guys get that big?

And we're running 240lb OLBs at Tackles like that?

Speed kills

It would if we ran around them instead of at them.

Joey Porter has 92 career sacks 2nd all time among active players. He has been doing it against BIG OT's for a long time. He had 9 sacks in limited paying time last year. I'm not really that concerned about him.

Haggans has played well since he's been here.

So? That doesn't change the fact that the Cards have their outside rushers run at the OTs instead of around them. Think how much better the guys would perform if they did.
