when they said anything could happen in the NFL they weren’t kidding...still winning is one thing but a complete shutout at home against a team playing without their coach ?? WOW ... that’s why making pigskin predictions will make many look like a Nostradumbass sooner or later lol ... anyways way to go SAINTS and good for you Gaby for hinting at the upset before the gameBUT ...the big one FOR ME is tonight.....lol....BUCCS---SAINTS......i know i know it should b a treat for TOM.....easy easy one BUT who knows???? If the duo HILL---KAMARA explodes and TAYSOM keeps it simple ....mainly running the ball and short passing..
no int....and IF defense does his work....well we should have at least a good one.
NFL 2021-2022 Season
- Thread starter Robert 21
- Start date
The Saints didn't do anything that hasn't been done before- they deployed a version of the Giants famous "NASCAR" defense, with a DL consisting of 4 defensive ends. If you are wondering whether it was the same defense that was used to defeat Brady in the 2007 and 2011 season Super Bowls by the Giants, yes, it was. The Giants had better personnel than the Saints do now, but Brady is older and the Bucs were very confused by that defense. I also noticed a couple of times when they got pressure straight up the middle, Brady looked painfully immobile. Unless he is sensing outside pressure while in the pocket, Brady has a hard time escaping pressure. He is less mobile than Eli Manning was in his last season, but Eli compensated by having a great radar for feeling pressure and was one of the least sacked QBs ever. When you are slow you have to have that radar, and be able to feel the pressure coming, otherwise your stay in the NFL is destined to be short and very painful. But the pressure up the middle is difficult for any less than mobile QB.
During the game I heard the announcers saying the tape would be passed around the league. There was tape of the 2 Giants Super Bowl wins over Brady using the same defensive scheme if anyone wanted to bother watching them.
What was funny is that Drew Brees was the only guy in the entire NBC studio who picked the Saints to win.

game in the third.....even GRONK looked very bad.....there are moments like this ou rien ne fonctionne..... ......not a game to remember 9-0 BUT as i said often...a win is a win.

Tough blow as he was #2 in the NFL in receptions behind Kupp, but the Bucs have a worthy replacement waiting in the wings in Antonio Brown.
Bucs WR Godwin out for season with torn ACL

The Saints have signed the experienced but bust former #3 overall pick Blake Bortles to back up Book:
Payton rejoins Saints; 4 more land on COVID list
Sean Payton is returning to work for the Saints after being sidelined for a week by COVID-19, and New Orleans added some insurance on the field by agreeing to a deal with veteran quarterback Blake Bortles, a source confirmed to ESPN.
Ravens QB Huntley out with Covid, so they are on to 3rd string QB Josh Johnson:

Johnson, who has played with 15 NFL teams, was with the Jets earlier this year when they had injury issues and actually started a game and passed for 300 yards plus with a solid QB rating. He is a solid and experienced backup QB.
Ravens QB Huntley on COVID-19 list, out Sunday
Tyler Huntley, the Baltimore Ravens' expected starting quarterback for Week 16, tested positive for COVID-19 on Saturday and is officially out for Sunday's critical game at the Cincinnati Bengals.
Tyreek Hill activated from Covid list:.CHIEFS 13 players on covid-19 reserve including TYREEK HILL and KELCE...
Chiefs WR Hill activated in time to meet Steelers
Veteran wide receiver Tyreek Hill was activated Saturday by the Kansas City Chiefs off the reserve/COVID-19 list and will play in Sunday's pivotal AFC game against the Pittsburgh Steelers at Arrowhead Stadium.
Aaron Rodgers was a total craftsman with his play in the 1st half today, and if this play continues, he will win the NFL MVP award again.
He is so much better than the young punks Mahomes, Herbert, Allen, Mayfield, Jackson et al that it's ridiculous. The younger QBs do not know how to protect the football. Nobody has been better in NFL history than protecting the football than Rodgers. It's not even close. Rodgers is playing in his own league right now and Brady is really the only one who is close. But even Brady is weaker at protecting the football.

Packers were lucky to win that game. Mayfield 4 INTs but the last one came after a blatant pass interference was not called. If called, Cleveland is in FG range down 24-22 with a chance to boot the game winning FG with less than 30 seconds.
A little home cooking on Christmas for Green Bay!!!!!!

What about Ravens-Bengals? All that is at stake is the AFC North Division Title.TODAY....two good games....PATS---BILLS and later STEELERS---CHIEFS.....should b fun to watch.
Very manly run by Josh Allen against the Patriots. He could have slid and only picked up 10 yards, but decided to push the envelop and get an extra 7-8 yards and take a couple of hits. I like QBs that take chances like this. It's a man's game and is played and won by men. I really hate it when a slide leaves a bunch of yards unclaimed and on the table. Those guys are putting themselves and their well being ahead of the team. You need to pick your spots and Allen seems to do it well. I like this kid. Of the kid group of QBs under 27 he may still end up being the best one of them. Certainly has the most guts.
Yeah well Allen pushing the envelope can only carry him so far!
He has no idea what risk/reward is and one day he'll get nailed so hard he'll see 10 fingers instead of 2...and he won't remember his name afterwards for a long long time!
Allen is brave and picks his spots well. You can't play football and be a total pussy and leave yardage out there when you have a wide open field. Otherwise your teammates look at you and think, "he is a fucking pussy." Instead Allen's teammates look at him and know he is out there fighting for them. I would much rather go to war with a guy like that.
The fact that the Bills coaches called a naked bootleg for Allen on a critical 4th and 1, and Allen getting around 6-7 yards on the play, tells you all you need to know about the type of weapon he is.
He and Burrow are the 2 best 27 and under QBs according to me. Herbert and Mahomes are next best.

Joe Burrow today: 37-46, 525 yards, 4 TDs, 143.2 passer rating.
This kid played like this all the time at LSU. When he was at LSU and won the Heisman Trophy he had the best season ever in college football history. We are now seeing that guy as he fully recovers from his knee injury.
Burrow and Allen in huge games today- BIG TIME!!!!!!!!
