Simon Posted October 13, 2013 Posted October 13, 2013 Just gave up a game winning TD to the Pats with 5 seconds left in the game.
MattM Posted October 13, 2013 Posted October 13, 2013 That was painful to watch-- of course most of the Pats* "fans" left 20 minutes ago as per the announcers....
Big C Posted October 13, 2013 Posted October 13, 2013 (edited) Booooo. Hopefully we can get the same luck in two weeks. Edited October 13, 2013 by Big C
mrags Posted October 13, 2013 Posted October 13, 2013 Watching this game I'm sick to my stomach. Can't believe how horribly this game went. However, I am extremely happy with the Pats winning this game only because about half of the stadiums fair weather fans had already left and I take joy in knowing how fake they are as fans in this league. Suffering for the fans is my only reward. Serves you right you fake @$$ fans.
KD in CA Posted October 14, 2013 Posted October 14, 2013 After the Pats failed 4th down with ~2:45 to go, NO runs a first down play; Pats call TO. Before the next snap, the TO is put back on the board for NE, presumably because a Saint was hurt on the play. My question is: NE had already called the TO (immediately upon the end of the play). Is it standard practice to change who gets charged the TO if someone ends up injured? Somewhat critical because that action saved the Pats from burning their last TO before the two minute warning, meaning NO would have been able to run another 35 seconds off the clock after the pick and the Pats don't have enough time at the end.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure I've seen that before. Those *'s get more breaks on a ballfield than any team I have ever seen.
Vark Posted October 14, 2013 Posted October 14, 2013 Wasn't there a game last week with a similar situation where the coach was arguing the same thing, had called a time out and argued they should have gotten the TO back because of a stoppage due to injury? They were still charged for the TO.
stinky finger Posted October 14, 2013 Posted October 14, 2013 At least the jets lost... absolutely meaningless in my eyes
DefenseWinzChampionshipz Posted October 14, 2013 Posted October 14, 2013 absolutely meaningless in my eyes Not meaningless if you live in Queens. Seeing them lose is GREAT!
Max997 Posted October 14, 2013 Posted October 14, 2013 Booooo. Hopefully we can get the same luck in two weeks. If Dalton and a Bengals offense averaging 18 points per game can do what they did today what do you think Brees and company will do at home in the superdome? Brees was really off his game today otherwise don't think it would hv been close... Was a great throw and catch at the end though
Big Turk Posted October 14, 2013 Posted October 14, 2013 Amazing how the Saints gave the ball back to New England not once, but TWICE in the last 3 minutes of that game... talk about not being able to finish...
Captain Hindsight Posted October 14, 2013 Posted October 14, 2013 That was painful to watch-- of course most of the Pats* "fans" left 20 minutes ago as per the announcers.... What a joke that was. 4 mins left and a 1 point game? Sit down and cheer on your hall of fame QB you spoiled brats
Southern McButterpants. Posted October 14, 2013 Posted October 14, 2013 Sean Payton learned the hard way... When you play the Pat*s in Foxboro, you're playing against the refs as well.
MattM Posted October 14, 2013 Posted October 14, 2013 What a joke that was. 4 mins left and a 1 point game? Sit down and cheer on your hall of fame QB you spoiled brats What was worse was I could have sworn I heard boos from the remaining crowd late in the game after the Brady INT. Talk about "what have you done for me lately" fans....
Dean Cain Posted October 14, 2013 Posted October 14, 2013 Brady's pick made me smile . At 36 years old his time in the league is closing. His late game playoff picks, last week & today. Brady can't play elite ball forever. In 2-3 seasons this guy is done, & EJ will be 25-26 entering his prime.
Nitro Posted October 14, 2013 Posted October 14, 2013 NO Achilles heel is it can not run out the clock nor does it have a shut down defense. Good game from a pure fan point of view.
Mark Vader Posted October 14, 2013 Posted October 14, 2013 At least the jets lost... True, the winless Steelers went into New Jersey and defeated the immortal Geno Smith.
Fan in Chicago Posted October 14, 2013 Posted October 14, 2013 absolutely meaningless in my eyes Every loss of a division rival is good news. You never know what is going to happen down the stretch. Even if you assume the Pats* will win the division, there are wild card opportunities. While I don't think this team is playoff bound (primarily due to injuries), I like how they are fighting and hope for everyone to be miraculously healed soon. As for the Saints game, the Greer miss was the most glaring but there were missed tackles and a general non-adjustment by Ryan's defense which led to that final opportunity. Plus, I cannot believe the Saints playcalling being so unimaginative as to leave Brady with so much time on the clock. Greer becomes a goat but I think there is plenty of blame to spread around in the big easy.
