That's what we need, baby! Let's see more of that! Or, the score could stay just the way it is . . .
In other, more rational news, that Colts-Ravens game was great! Exciting to the last (well, almost). Am I the only one in the entire world who wanted them to let Vinatieri go for a sixth field goal, so he would be the sole record holder?

Not I. I thought the Colts would win, but not with their defense. McNair played terribly and Manning played well against the number one defense in the league. He didn't score but didn't make any mistakes down the stretch of the game.drothgery said:
Vinatieri, the difference maker. Great signing.
Back to the Eagles/Saints...

Which ones? I saw the Odgen call which was a little suspect but there was nothing in there that was close to the officiating blunders in last week's Eagles/Giants game.jonathan swift said:
They let 'em play which was refreshing.

Amen. Too many penalty calls kills the game and pisses off the players and fans.John Crichton said:
This game is kind of difficult for me, as Brees was my fantasy QB. It's tough to see him do well against my team, but it's also tough for me to root against him.
Hell, who am I kidding? No it's not. Go Eagles! (Ugh, but not with plays like that. 19 yards inside the 30 because we can't tackle? Great . . .)

Eagles so far: Playing feisty defense but Garcia should have been picked off twice so far. Just like in the Giants game he's been bad with the one exception.
Saints: Just scored.

Random Colts game thoughts as I sit through the commercials -
Manning probably should have been picked two more times than he did. McNair should have had one more as well. I was impressed by the Colts overall gameplan. They could have tried to go all out, as they have in the past but they decided to line up and run the ball, pass when needed and take a few shots down the field. Manning tried some quick counts/snaps (worked once, failed lots) and his usual pre-snap theatrics were in full effect but I thought that the toned down gameplan was a good one from Dungy.
Gamebreaker 1: Ravens picked off at the 1 on the way in for a score and Indy turning it into 3.
Gamebreaker 2: The long drive at the end to salt away the game and kill all but 30 seconds of the clock. Some hard fought 1st downs on that drive.
The moment I first thought that this just might be Indy's day: Vinatieri bouncing the 51 yarder off the crossbar and through to score.

Wow.
Westbrook breaks another big run. This one is turning into a track meet. Last one with the ball wins...
