When it comes to professional athletes you never want to wish ill harm on someone. Football is an incredibly intense and physical game and injuries happen. Unfortunately none came at the expense of Drew Brees last night. It’s a shame when your team is facing an 18 point lead with less than five minutes in a game and you keep your starting QB in the game to score more points. Let’s face reality here…the Saints were not looking to run out the clock.

Drew Brees stayed in the shotgun and the Saints offense continued to run screen passes and over the middle slants. Brees continued to shoot for the endzone. The question for me is this. Where the hell was Karma? She is supposed to be a ***** but last night she must of figured the Saints would simply run out the clock and call it a night. If she had stayed awake a little longer maybe she would have felt empowered to see Brees knocked to the ground and carted off the field.

Not a long term injury but a week or two to say, “Hey dumbass injuries happen!” The Jets know this all too well. Even later in the game the Saints brought Dolphins killer Darren Sproles back onto the field and sent him to the endzone on a draw. He fumbled the ball back to Miami. Not that it matters but why was he even in the game? Because the Saints wanted more than the 35 points they already had.

The Denver Broncos nailed Philadelphia with 52 points but at least Peyton Manning slept through the fourth quarter on the sidelines.

What I don’t get is this. Why would any team risk injuring a key member of their team for some extra work? There is no reward in another TD and no team reward for padding a QB’s stats. Yet that is exactly what Sean Payton did last night. It was classless and perhaps shouldn’t be taken as a slap to the Miami Dolphins as much as his disdain to the NFL for his 2012 suspension.

Regardless, the Saints will get theirs if they continue that line of thinking and it may eventually cost them games that mean something more than a week 4 win. Risking the health of your starters for meaningless stats is ridiculous.

See what happened when New England took their foot off the gas Sunday?

The guy who wrote this? Screw him.

I wanted the starters out too, but I ABSOLUTELY understand the reasoning behind keeping them in the game and not letting up. Letting up causes two things:

1) Injuries
2) Losses

The guy who wrote this? Screw him.

Calling us classless with this in your article?

We can't run the ball ...

We started running the ball and miami showed that they hadn't thrown in the towel by calling time-outs, so we cranked the offense back up again. We had first down right under the goal post and went to a knee after they had exhausted their time outs.

What about Miami O line players talking smack with our D line while down a couple of TDs?

Does that show class (or common sense, for that matter)???

LOL, what a dweeb.

Check out the comments section. All the Dolphins fans are bagging on this stupid writer and calling him "whiny" and "sore loser." ha ha ha

This guy is an idiot and the article sucks,he is just whining. That being said he does have a point about the injury. I wish we would pull Brees when we get that far ahead late in the game. Especially with the way the line has been playing.

Say we end in a tie when we play Seattle. It could absolutely come down to points scored and points allowed for Home Field at some point in a playoff race is how I see it. Same goes for Denver and the Pats so crushing opponents in the NFL is actually encouraged. If you want the NFL to be classy then do an article on their rules.
