Featured Discussion Saints @ Buccaneers Game Day Thread

Forgive me if it was posted but I only caught a few mins of the game on tv in the first half and practically none of the second half. What injuries we we sustain?

OL Ola was the only one I saw, seemed pretty bad though - could barely put any weight on his leg.

Ola injury looked significant - didn't understand why shorter mgr was supporting him under the shoulder on the same side of his lower leg injury (not taking weight off injury)...

Then again, questioned why the cart wasn't brought out as an extra precaution to limit further injury - guess career walk-on UDFAs don't get the expense...

Also, don't be surprised to see Kamara on the injury report next week; came up gimpy on a play where the Bucs were giving him the twisting business in a gang tackle...

Also, Bushrod and Warford may have an injury designation of Limited - Ass Inflammation next week from the apparent chewing out that got at the half...

There was a play yesterday that I missed half of. As I waked back into the room and looked at the TV, I remember seeing the Saints being way back near the 1-yard line. Someone had the ball tossed/handed to them I think, and that's the moment I looked at the TV. He was starting to run out of the end zone and a Bucs player was about to tackle him. Surely this is going to be a safety, I thought, but suddenly the defensive players stopped trying to tackle him and the play was over. I had to walk out of the room again so I didn't get to see what it was all about.

At which point did this happen? Was the play stopped due to a penalty or something?

That mystified me too. How was Ingram considered to be down? His knee never touched the ground, he broke free from the tackle quite easily, and it seemed to me that he should have been free to run out the end zone away from the would-be tackler, and keep going. But the play was blown dead, I guess.

The "OFFICIALS" control the game. Who controls the officials?
I love when the TV announcers bring in "EX Head Of Officiating" So and So only to have So and So prove over and over why they ARE "EX" heads of officiating.

In case anyone hasn't noticed, it's the lawyers that are slowly taking over football.

I object to that comment!!
