Well, taking that into account, I will refrain from saying that I think they would do a better job raising breast cancer awareness by showing actual breast, and instead I just want to say I think they are all fine and lovely young ladies who do a wonderful job representing the franchise, and definitely increase my enjoyment of the game and football in general.

Yes we should apologize to him. From what I read, his release was handled very unprofessionally. All that had to be done was to call him up before the rumors came up, tell him honestly that the franchise had decided to move on, that he has been a great player, and he will likely do well wherever he ends up up and we will hate to see him on the other side. Had we done so, there wouldn't be the bad blood that exist. No we should not trade for him.

Why would I mention earlier events that had nothing to do with what I was talking about? I was only talking about the last drive, things that happened earlier in the game were irrelevant. In crunch time, we left a couple of receivers wide open, and got lucky when they dropped passes. That is not to say that we didn't play well, or that we didn't deserve to win. Just that they would have continued that drive had they caught the ball. It does bother me that they managed to get so open on an obvious passing down. I guarantee the defensive coaches won't be happy with those plays either. But I am happy with the win regardless.

We got lucky in that the receivers dropped a couple of easy passes, the last one would have gotten them an easy first down, and kept the drive alive.

They had two open receivers drop easy reception on that last series. Yes, that is lucky on our part.

We got lucky twice on that series. But I will take it.

Comes down to 4th and 9. Come on defense.

It was uncatchable anyway, but I think we are going to get hosed on this.

He had room on that. We got lucky he dropped it. Fourth down.

Now that was a horrible play call. At least with the personnel that were in. Stewart, Tolbert, or Cam should have run that, not Payne

With all the talk about Brown's drops, he has become the one guy who doesn't drop it.

Ok, now its time for the offense to take charge. Go down, run some time off the clock, get a score, and put us up by two scores.

What a sack by Short.

Got to admit I had a feeling of dread that Gano would miss that. Good on him. Would have loved a td but at least the defense got a little break.

Is it? Don't get me wrong, the long run was disconcerting, but the defense has had to overcome 3 interceptions, two of them on our side of the field. Only 6 points out of the two. Defense has played well overall. I would say that this is one game we are missing a legit receiver.

Really freakish interceptions tonight.

That was definitely a bad decision by Cam.

Dangerous move on the td, but it worked. Great Shane Battier impression by Cam on the encroachment.

The Eagles lead the league in turnovers. They are second in throwing interceptions and first in fumbling. We are good at picking the ball off. If we can avoid turning it over ourselves, we should be able to benefit. My guess is that we get a couple of turnovers, and win a close one. I do think we will be down at the half though. I do think people under estimate our receivers a little bit. During the fourth qtr against the Seahawks, our receivers managed to get open enough to get the job done. And they did against one of the best secondaries in the business. They aren't game breakers, but as long as we are focused, we should be ok.

Understood. Its a very frustrating game.

Stewart is the one part of the offense that is functioning well today. Over 4 yrds a carry against one of the better defenses in the NFL with almost no passing game to take the pressure off. He has only 2 or 3 negative yardage plays, fewer than Lynch has for the other side.

Stewart is having a heck of a game regardless.

Agreed, and I would add that we were incredibly lucky not to get an interception and a 15-20 yard return.

Four Atlanta turnovers and still the Aints only have a 7 point lead. Atlanta isn't going to keep turning the ball over, and Saints can't move the ball.

Agreed, he ran pretty well, although there was one that I thought he danced around to much when he should have just ran straight ahead and got a yard or two. We had a big lead and Shula was running out the clock, and the Bucs knew it. Thats pretty much what almost any coach will do with a two td lead and under 5 minutes left.
