Favre got picked off by Carolina and a fan ran on the field mid play and ran directly between the panther db (Eric Davis I think) and Ahman green who was trying to make the tackle. Green plowed right into the fan. 

That’s pretty funny.😂😂 If I remember right that was a Sunday night or Monday night game so I was in bed and missed the 2nd half.

And what's interesting is Dowdle and this rushing attack is doing it without much of a passing game to assist.  Delhomme wasn't a great QB by any means, but he did put up 3k passing yard seasons.  You know you have a great O-line and runner when that is your only option, and still put up historic numbers.

You're getting the exact opposite here, Delhomme was a great QB and the perfect QB for that team. The Fox offense has a stereotype of being conservative, but it was actually very much a big-chunk offense. We'd gash teams with the run and throw massive chunk plays downfield - it was closer to an Air Coryell than to power run.

Delhomme had a great arm and his ability to throw downfield opened up the running game - and vice versa. Jake actually led the entire league in yards per completion in 2008. Unfortunately his arm that year only lasted 16 games.

Hurney and Fox should have been looking for Jake's replacement after the 2007 season.

2008 we possibly win the Superbowl had we had better play at Qb. 

In hindsight, but there was really no reason to at the time. Jake was having a very, very strong season in 2007 before he got hurt. We brought in David Carr in 2007 to compete and he was awful.

Extending Jake in 2009 was clearly the wrong move.

    • I honestly can’t believe this team’s turnaround this season. It’s surreal. Figured healthy we’d be fringe playoffs and with another lottery pick could finally turn the corner, but we don’t even need that. This group is ready. We haven’t played remotely well the last 5 games and yet still blew out 5 bad teams by 16+ each game like it was casual practice. We had a few solid teams with Kemba and Big Al but this is easily our best group since the original Hornets moved to NO. Man, what a shift in culture this new ownership group and front office has brought. So damn happy to see it after years of suffering and consistently meaningless games in this stretch of previous seasons.   Only 2.5 games out of the 6 seed, although Miami, Atlanta and Orlando have been playing well too. Gonna be a fun final stretch, hopefully we can get a top 8 seed at the very least. Celtics tomorrow will be a good test. Would be huge to keep the road winning streak up against a very hot top team on the 2nd half of a back to back. We’ve played Boston pretty well the last few years with much of this same group despite sucking so I do feel pretty good about it. Kon is due for a huge game coming off a few cold shooting games (although despite the poor shooting he’s been contributing well with defense, assists and rebounds).
    • It amazes me how underrated Horn has become after he finally was able to stay on the field. Sure last year wasn’t perfect but he was still a huge reason for our rebound defensively and I’d say he’s easily a top 10 corner. You don’t want to see Mike Jackson as our top corner. Any player is available for the right price but I’d be extremely hesitant to move Horn even for a big haul from LA.
