NO + Refs vs MIN

[Mother Grabber]

Refs bailing out the taints again, with an awful call on a sack against Brees. NO looking very pedestrian, at home. They've definitely lost a step.

Cam get's slammed and teabagged on a sack, "Cam's a big boy, he can take it".

 

Breesus get's taken down by a midget useing everything he has for leverage, "OMG, Breesus was body slammed, the NFL has to protect the QB, here Brees free points and the game".

[Mother Grabber]

Brees is such a pussy. Bridgewater having a decent showing, after coming in for Cassell. Vikings should be better with him.

You need more than ref help when you can't get in the endzone. The Vikes are pathetic.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who noticed.

imagine if someone suplex-slammed Peyton Manning or Tom Brady like that. There would be riots across the country

i didn't think it was a penalty when i saw it live, but on replay i thought it was clearly a penalty. Didn't matter anyway, the Saints had the game comfortably in-hand the whole game. But they should have beat the Vikings much more than they did in their home opener. Saints look like a 9-7 team to me. Bridgewater looked pretty solid for a rookie in his 3rd Week of the NFL

Slow motion made it look worse than it was. In real time with audio you can see that play wasn't blown dead, and Captain was just doing the only the he could to get Brees to the ground. Captain being small used all his weight to pull Brees back, and since the whistle wasn't blown he finished to the ground. Even if you consider Captain's sack excessive you have Brees getting away with after the play aggressive actions that on other players would have been a penalty. I think at worst it should have been offsetting penalties.

Waaaaah

[Mother Grabber]

it shouldn't have been a penalty.

[Mother Grabber]

Waaaaah

Brees is such a pussy.

Brees is a weakling like Peyton and Brady. Part of what makes those three so great going against the monsters in the NFL. Same with Luke who just got run over by Bell then slapped down to the ground easily a play or two after that on national TV with the camera right on him. Everybody likes the David over the Goliath, unless the Goliath is very skilled in his own right (Cam, etc)

Also, when it comes to the weaklings, Manning's neck went out and was let go. Brees' shoulder went out and was let go. Brady was lost for the season with a torn ACL and the NFL introduced the Brady Rule as a result. Rodgers went down last season with his brittle collar bone getting fractured. Of those 4, the only one not to miss a game due to his injury was Brees.
