Re: SAINTS - Cowboys Gameday Thread
 

Vaccaro's Witten burn and another 1 st down penalty from Browner were a few unpleasant side shows.

there are soe things he does that get on my nerves but he knows foootball

Re: SAINTS - Cowboys Gameday Thread
 

The blitz got some pressure and Dallas O-line is no slouch-good
Run game looked better-good
Brees can be a game manager-good
WR hands come to life-good
We needed a W to break the ice.
I'll take a W but a long, long way to go before this team is a good team.

Re: SAINTS - Cowboys Gameday Thread
 

80 yard pass at beginning of OT, shades of Tebow! Nice route by Spiller, now we need to quit holding back and get him more involved in the offense.

I blame Hocker's miss on Payton. If Payton hadn't used up that third time out to argue with the ref like a petulant child, we would have been able to take a knee at the spot where Hocker likes it, run the clock down to 2 seconds, take a timeout and allow Hocker and the spec teams to take their time and execute the kick. It didn't look like a very good snap either by Drescher unless I was seeing things. Ugly win, but we needed the W.

That time out call by Payton made me want to jump through the TV and slap him. Total brain fart. But I blame the missed kick on Hocker. It's a 30 yard attempt, you can't miss that. But he did anyway.

I just hope Armstead is OK. He played hurt but still was our best O-line player.

Re: SAINTS - Cowboys Gameday Thread
 

And you have Breaux too who is also a NFL rookie who did a good job.

Re: SAINTS - Cowboys Gameday Thread
 

Positives - Brees looked good.
Ingram looked good.
Spiller is a playmaker.
Snead catches everything and blocks. Best Saints WR on tape.
A couple of TE sightings.
Murphy is a legit returner.
Dome win.

Richardson made more plays last night than Hicks in all his years.
Anthony, Kikaha, and Davison all are growing and improving.
Everyone competed.
Byrd played.
Coverage units were good.

Negatives - Brees could have been intercepted atleast 3 times.
Three passes and punt. Usual Saints way to start a game.
Strief is getting beat alot.
With all his skills and hype, Cooks isn't making plays.
HORRIBLE use of timeouts continues.
Young kicker misses with game on the line.
Morstead injury.

Browner and Breaux can't touch guys beyond five yards.
Officiating making games hard to watch. Consistent and bad.
Let Cowboys drive with the game on the line.
