For the Ingram fans... Which so happen to be the "I am not going to feel good about the season just yet" crowd at the start of the season (for the most part). I will leave you with this. Who also blamed the offensive line but now want credit to go to Ingram... :) If Ingram has another game this season with 70+ yards and 4.0 +YPC, I will lead the Save the Ingram Foundation thread.

I am not taking anything away from Ingram but all of a sudden either we found a running game in the bushes, our o-line ate Wheaties, or Dallas's defense was very hurt and sucked regardless of injures.

Re: 7 - 2
 

Just one correction Oak, Dez Bryant didnt score a TD, he got one catch for 44 yards, but it was 83 spencer that got behind greer and scored, greer was staring in the backfield...again, very hot and cold night for him - dropped an easy pick 6

Other than that spot on, if you watch the ingram highlights I posted in the other thread you will notice Jahri had one of his best games, I'm glad Ingram took advantage of great O line play, in my opinion they both deserve a ton of credit

Seen as ingram got booed at the start of the game, he forgot about the dropped pass and went straight back to work

Defensively - like you said dallas weren't banged up offensively and wow

0-9 on 3rd downs
Romo had 20 yards passing in the first half total
As soon as we made a lead, they could not string a pass together

All round great effort by everyone.....except garrett hartley

Re: 7 - 2
 

OOps LOL we were both wrong.. It was 83 and that's T. Williams. Thanks for the heads up though.

Ingram had a great game... I would call it phenomenal, however if he doesn't do anything more for the rest of the season he will get no credit for that.

Re: 7 - 2
 

Yeah thats the guy lol Don't know where I got spencer from lol Not a problem mate

He did have a phenomenal game, What i would say is he doesn't have to continually put up those kind of numbers to be a success (it would be nice), just look at PT - sometimes he has like 40 yards rushing in a game but nearly all of them are for first downs

We need ingram to be effective when he's called upon and he was last night, rushing and receiving

I hope our O line can keep that sort of play up, all the O lineman were into it big time, Jahri was making some noise after stream rolling their MLB

Re: 7 - 2
 

I will also add... We did it with out much work load placed on Graham.. And that is HUGE

I also love the all Black Unis.. I know some dont.. I think it makes us faster ;)

Re: 7 - 2
 

We are starting to spread the ball around now, jimmy has done enough damage to warrant double coverage and be a decoy on most plays

Colston fed off the coverage shift and was wide open most of the night, I tell you what though - kenny stills, what a guy! best saints rookie receiver I've seen since colstons rookie season

I think the all black uniform does make us faster, atleast it did for spiderman lol

yeah I love that kit aswell, especially on prime time games

Re: 7 - 2
 

I have read in several places the Cowboys were "nicked up" on D. Just wanted to point out the Saints starting safeties, Jenkins and Harper, were out. Not to forget a starting Ilb, Hawthorne, DNP, and C. Jordan has a foot :).

Also, Hartley was 7 for 8 in kicking. GEEEZ, some of you want perfection. Lolololol

Just saying.

Living in Dallas/Ft Worth metro, it is going to be a great day.

Re: 7 - 2
 

So unless im mistaken and it does happen from time to time.
If we match the Falcons result this weekend we can official kill there season on Thursday 21st November.

Re: 7 - 2
 

It was to our detriment that we went so much to Grambeaux early on. Spreading the ball around makes us stronger. I would love to see Ingram have similar numbers against the Whiners, Seahags, and Panzies.

Re: 7 - 2
 

I heard monte kiffin left sometime in the 3rd quarter packed his crap up and headed on the team bus. If thats true what a sore loser and shows he don't give two squats.

Re: 7 - 2
 

-The Dallas defense is horrible.
-Brees was at his best. The recievers didn't have to work to the ball.
-Colston on the field is a difference maker.
-Thomas and Ingram have the talent.
-The o-line is average in skills but big on heart.
-Collins was great as a lead blocker.
-Great scheme on defense that was perfectly executed.
-Stills was a steal and another great find by Loomis and Co.
-Graham is a bad dude.
-Humber, White, and Foster are great role players.
-The Saints in the dome with the home crowd are almost impossible to beat.
-It's in Hartley's head. Not good for a kicker. Not good for the Saints.
-Sproles does not need to be exposed on punts.
-The concussion issues with Vaccaro are not good.
-Brutal schedule the rest of the way.

Re: 7 - 2
 

Brees was throwing great passes because the OLine was actually giving him time

Re: 7 - 2
 

Well Charlie Brown was about 50/50 against a hurt Ware. Brees was given time + he stepped up and aside as he usually does. From what I could tell it was the middle of the line that was far more impressive than the edges.

Re: 7 - 2
 

Exactly. I don't talk sh*t before games, cause anything can happen. But making some of my classmates squirm today will be fun.

Re: 7 - 2
 

if dallas defense is that bad with or without the missing, what does that say for the 5 teams they beat?

Re: 7 - 2
 

Any given Sunday

Re: 7 - 2
 

so its okay to say if we had colston and sproles last week we would be 8 and 1

Re: 7 - 2
 

Don't even attempt to watch the highlights for this game. Too many.
ESPN could give it its own top 10 and a segment called 40 for 40 1st downs.

Re: 7 - 2
 

That is why I am downloading the whole game to watch again! Hahahaha

Re: 7 - 2
 

7 - 2. What was our record last year at this time. I'll take 7 - 2

Re: 7 - 2
 

Here's my simple take on this. I think we need to be mindful that the Cowboys D sucks from top to bottom, front to back and side to side. However, even if this was the reason it demonstrated the following lovely little chain.....

1) The O-line was very good indeed
2) This allowed us to effectively run the ball
3) This allowed us not only to control the clock exceptionally effeiciently but opened up the passing game for Drew Brees
4) This allowed us to hit multiple receivers in all sorts of play calls
5) This allowed us to run our offence in the lights out fashion we know they can play
6) This allowed us to build a lead that meant the opposition, in this case the Cowboys, couldn't afford to keep running the ball
7) This played into our defensive positives (pressure and our secondary coverage) and away from our negatives (our rush defence which still is pretty sucky)
8) This allowed us to win the game in a truly ludicrous fashion.

This absolutely amazing comment comes from nfl.com and rather sums it all up....

"When the machine is humming -- as it was Sunday -- the Saints are virtually invincible."

Re: 7 - 2
 

Sean Payton is now 13-3 in prime time home games, including the playoffs. I don't know about you all, but to me that's really impressive. I don't have time to dig and crunch it all out, but I wonder if there is any other active coach right now who has a better record in prime time, under the lights.

Re: 7 - 2
 

That is exactly why corners aren't wide receivers.

Re: 7 - 2
 

At the pro level he should still be able to catch a short pass though, romo didn't laser it in or anything, greer has picked tougher passes than that off before but he's struggling now

Re: 7 - 2
 

Id take a dropped almost pick over a completed pass anyday

Re: 7 - 2
 

The Cowboys have several really good starters, but they're like the Clowns in that they have no depth. And they can't blame injuries on their offense converting 0 first downs.

Re: 7 - 2
 

- the media said ATL would repeat as champions of our division
- the media said the Saints would only win 6 games
- Jahri Evans looked liked a healthy Jahri Evans....
- This game hurt both teams on both sides it was physical count the names.....
- Chris Ivory inspires Mark Ingram yet again....
- A running game wears down a defense.... and running the ball well consistently demolishes a defense.
-The shutdown Dez strategy employed by Rob Ryan was personal....
-Don't look now Corey White is ready to take over for greer...
-Don't you laugh every time Jimmy and Sproles are in the same picture
-Sean Lee is Dallas's Brian Cushing
-If we hold your team to 17pts we are gonna win every time.
-Jason Garret seat just got hot
