I'm so encouraged right now. Both with the defense and Teddy.

Very impressed with Teddy in the pocket. I think this guy has the goods.

The roughing call was correct. Can't German suplex QBs in the NFL.

You expect a flag on Brees for pelvis thrusting a dude? It was a weak #### comeback from Brees and a QB won't ever draw that kind of a call, again...I have adapted my expectations for how calls will be made on prior precedents.
he intentionally contacted a player in the back on a dead ball.

Nope. Frustrating none the less.

Wish they would call it both ways. That was early contact there.

I stopped arguing with you (hence why no quote). it's a forum where I'm allowed to voice opininon, if you could stop with your personalized attack, I'd appreciate it as it's against the rules. I get it, you like zebras and quarterbacks in dresses, enjoy.

Where in the rule book does it say it's a penalty to contact a player in the back on a dead ball? I think you are making up rules.

You expect a flag from a tackle where the QB's head wasn't touched? I get the slamming on the head, I get the hitting a QB in the head with your arms. None of that happened here. If you want to get so strict that it was a Penalty on Munnerlyn, it was one on brees as well.
