And we're only going to win 1 game this year. Got it.

I think they have changed how they call this from the past. Years ago, they would just throw flags against both players and they would offset each other. Now they pretty much call it just on the first player and unless there is flagrant retaliation, they won't call it on the second person. And no, Brees bumping Captain was not flagrant.

whenever we rush 4 on Brees, its a long gain.
very disappointed

Well, maybe we should reconsider reactivating AD??

That, IS not gonna happen.

Saints still passing so Brees can win the consecutive 300 yard games at home record?

Ummm... No.

Umm, maybe, assuming he gets to use his switch!

Hah forgot about that. Looks like he's 12 yards away.

The more things change, the more they stay the same.

Thank you Norv Turner, thank you Walt Anderson, and thank you Drew Brees. What a terrible game.

that's out of line and inappropriate.

If he's found not guilty - absolutely.

Pick Six would be nice here.

He pushed Blanton and yelled at him. They he got in Captain's face and yelled at him for an extended period.
Any player on the field today and that's a flag, maybe even get kicked out of the game......except for the chosen one.

A can maybe understand you defending the original call based on a technicality. But I have no idea how you can possibly defend the no call on that whining hypocrite Brees.
I'd love to see him push Blanton and yell at Captain that way in a dark alley......without the paid hacks called NFL refs who just want to protect the chosen people

I hate Drew Brees with a Passion. That play ruined this game
