Slipping

Has anyone heard anything said about why nothing (seemingly) was done about so many Saints players were slipping?

Nope. They mentioned the field conditions last night during the broadcast, but I was trying to catch my one year old at the time so I'm not sure what they said.

Sounds like an advantage at home with a slippery end that your home team knows about is worth... Oh... about 8 points!!

The Packers slipped a bit too, but not nearly as much.

Reminds me of the '06 NFCC game in Chicago when the Bears had the middle of the field re-sodded, knowing that we couldnt run on it and they just concentrated on sealing the ends from our RBs and WRs.

They said it was dew??After seeing the ruts,that frikkin soil was either rich as B.gates or crooked as D.Trump.
It sure as hell crossed my mind!
