NFL Game Center: New Orleans Saints at Oakland Raiders - 2011 Preseason Week 3

Drew went hard after a rookie CB and made him pay

Raiders were without their starter at CB and put in a rookie that Drew just tore arse on.

Oakland was without Richard Seymour, McFadden, Ford, Chris Johnson and other starters. 20-17 Raiders led when the starters for both sides left the field

Thanks man, actually a Raiders fan, my wifesa huge Saints fan...my family goes back a couple generations with the Raiders- Saints are my 2nd favorite team, and also for the fact I cant stand the Bucs. Lived in Orleans for a couple years on a job assigment back in late 90's. Man I loved it there. Kinda grew into a Saints fan, the Ditka days... Met and married my wife while I was there.. 13 years later still married to the greatest woman on earth. You guys are the coolest fans in the NFL. And I've been to alot of stadiums.

We go back a couple times a year to visit the wifes family.

Unfortunately, you are 100% correct. Our offense looked good, but our starting D looked bad. Drew would have smoked their starters too.

I think Oakland challenges for the AFC West. If San Diego struggles just a little, Oakland may take that division. I can see 9 or 10 wins for Oakland.

but the kickoff USED to be at the 35... we're just going back to the old rule.

I can think of a lot of old rules I'd like to see back.

I dont like replay. Am I the only one? Am I crazy?

If the NFL could do it the way the college football does it there would be no issue. For some reason the NFL, like so many other institutions I could name but will not for the sake of keeping the peace, has a talent for taking something simple like the boogaloo and completely effing it up.

I like replay when used very little during a game. Quit slowing the game down. Now they replay every touchdown? Ridiculous.

So much for tempo.

I must respectfully disagree on your point of checking the replay every score. In the end, it's about getting it right. As far as I know, the coaches are still limited to two red flags; that should be enough.

skymike · 08-31-2011, 06:33 AM

naaa... we lived 100 years without replay...

the purpose of replay was to prevent the game changing referee goof, a-la- Mike Renfro in the 79 AFC Championship.

And why do they have to run across the field and go into the peep-show? Can they not get TV upstairs? Why do they have to look over and over again. If once in slow motion doesnt solve the question, then its not obvious-- how did you expect the ref to get it in fast motion?

One red flag per game. and you got 30 seconds. for that one call you would otherwise cry all monday morning about.. thats what it should be.

the rest of it, call it on the field and accept the call, quit whining, and call the next play.

I could be full O' crap...
