The Return to the Superdome Game Thread

[BallHawk]

I'm as pumped for this game as any Packer game this season. I cannot put into words how great it is to see this city playing football again. I've been to New Orleans and it is a great city, and I'm so joyous that they are playing football again. Of course, football is a game and a game will not bring back lives, it will not erase memories, and it will not rebuild structures that crumbled on that unforgettable Monday. But a game can bring increments of joy to the fans. And joy is sometimes something that can lead to recovery. Let's hope this game can bring some of that joy back to this fine city.

[BallHawk]

In regards to the game, I belive the Falcons are the better team and so, will probably win. However, do not count the Saints out. Everybody in the United States is rooting for the Saints, even the Falcons fans, even though rooting for their team, will not feel too bad if their team loses. Saints fans have faith in this team, and the Saints have faith in their fans. And maybe that faith, will carry this team to victory.

[PaCkFan_n_MD]

Good idea to start this tread, I want the saints to win.

[MJZiggy]

Considering that I chose Atlanta in my pick'em, I wish them joy but not too much of it.

[packers11]

I HATE ATLANTA because I HATE VICK... Most over rated qb EVER... He is average and they make him seem like he won 3 superbowls, a couple mvps, and has brought everything to the falcons....

All he can do is run, he has a strong arm but he has no accuracy.

SAINTS PLEASE WIN!!!!!

[BallHawk]

Know what? I just changed my pick to the Saints. Screw it, I'm going Saints all the way.

KEEP THE FAITH! GO NEW ORLEANS!

Now to find my Tostitos Pizza Rolls...

[BallHawk]

I have the biggest smile across my face. This is so great for this city.

LET"S GO SAINTS!!!!!

[Badgerinmaine]

I'm with the Saints, too. I've always liked them (as a lifelong Brewers fan, I sure know what it's ike to pull for an underdog), and I'd love to see them give their city and region the shot in the arm a win could provide. I have a soft spot for NO too, and my best friend and his family live about 4 hours NW of NO in central Louisiana. He's got one of the few Packer stickers on a pickup in Alexandria. :D

I hate to say it, but the Falcons might be more of a test for the Saints than the Packers and Browns have been for them.

but--Geaux Saints!

[BallHawk]

Wow, I'm almost in tears. I'm so overswept with joy to see this team take the field.

C'MON SAINTS! LET'S GO! KEEP THE FAITH!!!

[SkinBasket]

Balls. I missed this thread when I started the other, so I'll just add my two cents here and hopefully the other will sink into the mire.

Is it just me or is all this U2 concert, retrospective videos and other general pomp and circumstance actually taking away from the significance of this game? I think it would have been a much more emotional and punctual statement to simply have the players come out of the tunnel and play some fucking football. At this point the football team seems like an afterthought.

a glorified running back...like a cross between antwaan randle el and say a speedy running back...

[BallHawk]

Amazing anthem. Just amazing.

[mission]

I root for Atlanta unless they're playing the Packers or there is a Packer implication in the game but this one I'm definitely gonna be hollarin' for the Saints. What a feel good game.

There were a lot of Saints fans in the sports bar I was just in who actually moved here because of the hurricane and there was some tears and dancing and everything. I almost got caught up, had to leave for a bit to finish some stuff at the office. Awesome, awesome stuff!

Green Day and their American Idiot album doesn't seem right for the game, but whatever... TV is TV and always will be.

[Rastak]

Greenday and U2 combined was cool.....

[Bretsky]

I need 4 points from Warrick Dunn tonight to win in the PR League

[SkinBasket]

Christ. Maybe I'm an ass, but can we actually get to some football here? Any second I'm expecting Oprah to come on and do a 30 minute interview with Spike Lee while the game plays behind them.

[SkinBasket]

Yeah. Football.

[Rastak]

You are not an ass (in this case LOL), I was wondering myself when the F'ing game would start.

[BallHawk]

Greenday and U2 combined was cool.....

I liked the jazz twist.

[Rastak]

Fall on the ball dumb ass.

[BallHawk]

TOUCHDOWN SAINTS!!!!!!!!

[Rastak]

Holy shit.....nice block.

[SkinBasket]

Ha! The fix is on!

[MasonCrosby]

wow...that was quick... :shock:

[Iron Mike]

Ron Mexico just made MAC DA GREAT look not so great! :razz:

[Iron Mike]

Theismann (commenting on the condition of the Superdome turf):

"This is gonna force the receivers to run with their bodies on top of their legs."

WTF...... :crazy:

The Saints are going to win the Super Bowl, mark my words.

Nice block by Brees.

14-3.

Aren't you watching?

[GrnBay007]

I need Atlanta to win! :sad:

[Lurker64]

Pet Peeve:

Why do announcers always refer to an end-around as a "reverse" and a reverse as a "double reverse"? A reverse involves two handoffs/pitches, a double reverse involves three. Anything that involves only two people touching the ball is not a reverse.

[justanotherpackfan]

Nice block by Brees.

I don't have cable. :oops: I get all the NFL games except for the Monday night game but I usually watch all my college football at my friend's house.

[BallHawk]

Why don't you have cable? Are you far out, so you can't get it?

[justanotherpackfan]

My parents just didn't want to get it. They don't want to spend the money and don't want everybody fighting over the TV. :roll:

WHAT!!!! :shock: You are drinking too much milk.... :wink:

[BallHawk]

Horn made a great catch on that pass. Might of been a pick if it wouldn't of been caught.

[BallHawk]

WHAT!!!! :shock: You are drinking too much milk.... :wink:

[J-Rok]

I need Dunn to have a big game... but the Falcons insist on throwing incompletions instead. GIVE DUNN THE BALL!

add: They freaking led the league in rushing two years in a row, and they're afraid to pound the ball in. Ridiculous.

[BallHawk]

Blocked by the Saints.

Damn, two blocks tonight. Surreal.

I think JAPF has been having too much of the NO-Xplode.

Now to find my Tostitos Pizza Rolls...

You bugger!

I smacked that around all day. . . I had 1 point on this game just 10 minutes before the start of the Sunday night BRONCOS @ Pat's game with the 10 on the Pats and something said to me.... WOW .

Just one point went on last night's game that looked like a Pat's win but I had concerns.

So now Ballhawk. You'll be so far out infront in OUR League... we won't be able to catch you to feed you water. :mrgreen:

[justanotherpackfan]

http://supplementmarket.com/images/bsn_noexplode_jar.jpg
No, that stuff supposedly ruins your dick.(long, long erections)
NoXplode is a bunch of caffeine and shiz that is designed to give you an edge.

[BallHawk]

I picked the Falcons from day one, but I just had a feeling the emotion of the night would give the Saints the extra boost to win it.

I only have 7 points on this game, so it won't be a huge move if the Saints win.

Remember, there's still 30 minutes of football left.

[BallHawk]

So not only does it give you a rush, but it makes your unit longer when you have an erection? Wow, who needs Viagra when you have that stuff?

[BallHawk]

Could this game be going more perfect for the Saints?

[BallHawk]

Wow, Colston looks great.

[J-Rok]

Still wish Dunn had done more.

[Partial]

I saw the score before posting this, but if you asked me yesterday, I would have told you there was NO WAY New Orleans loses this game. They could have played up against the '85 bears and they'd win tonight. Their is too much emotion for them to possibly lose.

[wpony]

Maybe the packers werent playing as bad as we all thought when we lost our first 2 games we thought the Saints were so bad well it does not look like it now
:lol: GO PACK GO

[woodbuck27]

139 Yards of Offense for Ron Mexico and " the Falcons " avec 6:32 remaining in the 3ed Qtr.

Good Gaud !! Theirrr reaaaaally rollin' tonight.

[woodbuck27]

So not only does it give you a rush, but it makes your unit longer when you have an erection? Wow, who needs Viagra when you have that stuff?

Yea sure, but.....

the erection lasts so long...

that you can't get on the schoolbus the next day.

[BallHawk]

They could have played up against the '85 bears and they'd win tonight.

Curious, did you use that quip from Berman, or did you just use that without seeing Berman's pregame shtick.

[woodbuck27]

Maybe the packers werent playing as bad as we all thought when we lost our first 2 games we thought the Saints were so bad well it does not look like it now
:lol: GO PACK GO

No way. tha Saints had control of that game against us once they started to roll.

I thought they looked great... but watch what McNabb does to OUR secondary this week.

Wonderin' ....

what octave the sound of four assholes " rippin at the same time" is in?

I didn't see anything. I thought of the best team historically, and I didn't remember what year the dolphins were, so I went with the Bears. I was considering throwing in the 1996 packers, too.

No way they lose tonight fellas.

[wpony]

lol woodbuck :twisted:

[Partial]

NO's defense looks mean. They are playing as good as any team you'll see this year right now. Even if its just for one week, I tip my hat and am cheering for them!!

[Partial]

Vick has been hurried on slightly less than 50% of the pass attempts, and hit on a third. Damn, they look great defensively. I think its because they are so fired up playing out of their minds and the falcons not coming close to matching the intensity.

That dome sounds loud as hell with 44 ticks left.

[Partial]

I must say it is a touching seen watching the guys rally up the crowd as the clock expires. Mike Vick is giving hugs and everyone seems very happy. It's a truly touching moment with the stadium still packed and everyone on their feet together!

[SD GB fan]

its nice to have the saints back in their stadium.

btw who is this colston guy and how come everyone overlooked him in the draft til in the late rounds?

RUSHING

..........ATT.. YDS.. TD.... LG
M. Vick 6...... 57.... 0..... 30

Vick BIG in another BIG Game? Noooooo .

[Partial]

One thing that you guys should think about is those defenders won the game for NO and they certainly aren't all world. They were guys that were extremely jacked up to play. Reminds me of an entire squad of Poppingas.

Except they all didn't blow their coverages :crazy: :lol: :razz:

[Tony Oday]

I am so sick of the NO BS. You dont see anywhere else in the nation that goes through a huge natural disaster keep bitching about it a year later. you see people roll up their sleeves get to work and fix it. In NO they are all waiting for somebody else to do the work...

Yes I am jaded because they stile 8 BILLION in tax money from us...just a little...

I am pretty sure you are damn ignorant to the situation then. They are working hard to rebuild it.

This is, beyond any doubt, THE DUMBEST THING EVER WRITTEN on PackerRats.com

Need I say more!

[wpony]

In some ways I can understand his feelings I live in stoughton we were hit hard here last year by a tornado our little town was big news all over the US but we and a bunch on fantastic volunters got to it and cleaned it up even a yr later there is still a lot of clean up and rebuilding going on but since we did so much of the clean up our selves the federal goverment said we dindnt spend enough so they werent going to kick in federal aid which just suckssssss :evil: :evil: But I can only imagine what went on down there and wish them all the warm wishs and money they can get to get back on there feet it is a horible feeling and the mental feelings of helpleness I see around here of some of the people who were hit is heart breaking if it even clouds up they are checking the weather any thunderstotms they go into there basements.
