Tebow should spend his time learning how to take a snap when under center. He might also want to start learning how to play TE... - hmrstrm45 Sat, 06 Feb 2010 09:06:56 +0100 http://www.18to88.com/2010-archives/february/eyes-in-the-backfield-saints.html#comment-7936 I don't know that the ad is telling young women to do anything. My understanding is that the ad simply tells the story of the Tebows. It's amazing that people are so afraid of stories. - DZ Sat, 06 Feb 2010 08:16:34 +0100 http://www.18to88.com/2010-archives/february/eyes-in-the-backfield-saints.html#comment-7932 Actually, I think maybe Tebow's commercial could be seen as in favor of abortion. If his mother had only listened to her doctor, there wouldn't be a Tim Tebow. Though, in all seriousness, I think it's pretty reprehensible to air an add that is essentially telling young women they should ignore doctors' advice. - C-Mumaw Sat, 06 Feb 2010 07:10:03 +0100 http://www.18to88.com/2010-archives/february/eyes-in-the-backfield-saints.html#comment-7911 Brees: What? We're only gonna score 23? Whatever. That Zombie guy gonna play defense, too? - BobM Fri, 05 Feb 2010 14:40:00 +0100 http://www.18to88.com/2010-archives/february/eyes-in-the-backfield-saints.html#comment-7906 @Stiglitz, please don't ever set me up for commenting on things coming out of or going into Bruschi's mouth, not on a family-friendly website. Way too tempting... and JC already has me on a strict word count. I could end up just insulting TB; writing a little play featuring him, BB, and a randy stallion; or a Lettermanesque list of things that have been in or out of TB's mouth. It's a target rich environment, much like the Colts WRs running through the NO defensive backfield. RE: Freeney's ankle, to me it looks like he plays at least 50% of the game, or not at all. The mixed messages are just too strange, and way more detailed than usual. Raheem claims he'll play plenty of RDE, yet Coyer says none of that crap! Hunh? This team is too well-coordinated and on-message for that to be accidental. I too thought 14 was funny, but I have a sick sense of humor. - Bob M Fri, 05 Feb 2010 11:39:41 +0100 http://www.18to88.com/2010-archives/february/eyes-in-the-backfield-saints.html#comment-7899 I'm ok with what Dungy said, he's not a coach anymore. - huevonkiller Fri, 05 Feb 2010 09:40:51 +0100 http://www.18to88.com/2010-archives/february/eyes-in-the-backfield-saints.html#comment-7896 I like this trash talking Dungy. http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/playoffs/2009/news/story?id=4889508 - Zackasaurus Rex Fri, 05 Feb 2010 09:08:55 +0100 http://www.18to88.com/2010-archives/february/eyes-in-the-backfield-saints.html#comment-7895 Good read on the game. I'll take exception (sorry) - Simmons is better despite his New England bias and sometimes crude lines. His recent article on woe-is-me franchises was truly hilarious. There's nothing wrong with the writing on this site, however, and backing up your ideas with facts is a novel idea these days in sports journalism. - filiusdextris Fri, 05 Feb 2010 09:03:44 +0100 http://www.18to88.com/2010-archives/february/eyes-in-the-backfield-saints.html#comment-7892 I am very curious to see how our secondary does. Clearly the best passing offense we've faced. I hear some tape watchers think we're not deep enough to cover all their weapons. I'm thankful that Lacey was burned deep last game. I want him thinking run last all game long. I'd like to see Hayden step up big this game. He's been fairly average given his top 10 money. I have a hard time seeing how the Saints stop our offense. Their only hope are weird tip interceptions or wideouts being stripped. Colts 35 - Saints 27 - Merr Fri, 05 Feb 2010 08:18:51 +0100 http://www.18to88.com/2010-archives/february/eyes-in-the-backfield-saints.html#comment-7889 Except these articles are way better than anything simmons has from an accuracy side and just as entertaining. - buzz Fri, 05 Feb 2010 07:08:31 +0100 http://www.18to88.com/2010-archives/february/eyes-in-the-backfield-saints.html#comment-7885 14 was an instant classic I know you have your hands full in Argentina but the Star or some kind of print media should really try to get you on board. Your writing this year has been "Simmonsesque" let's face it your are our Simmons. Freeney's going to have a big game, Manning will be sharp and outshine Brees. I suspect this game will seem close for a while, but in the end Colts will pull away, the Saints will make too many mistakes, and the game will be over by early in the 4th quarter. (At least that's what I'm hoping for) - Westside Rob Fri, 05 Feb 2010 06:01:32 +0100 http://www.18to88.com/2010-archives/february/eyes-in-the-backfield-saints.html#comment-7879 What do you guys think about Coach Dungy ocming out and picking the Colts and saying he doesn't even think the game will be close? (I mean I get him supporting his old team, but to come out so confident about it.) - Doug England Fri, 05 Feb 2010 05:24:01 +0100 http://www.18to88.com/2010-archives/february/eyes-in-the-backfield-saints.html#comment-7878 Very good write up and analysis as always 1) I agree with this 100% it is very strange indeed. I don't know if Freeney will be 100% but i think he will be better than many think (maybe partially wishful thinking) but the colts never act this way. One thing that i thought was interesting was an interview with (i think) warren sapp where he said that the biggest regret of the saints season was they didn't game plan for Ware when he was believed to not play in the game that lost them there perfect season because he blew up. Maybe the colts want to cause some confusion similar to that? 2) I thought this as well. However, from the FO super bowl preview it seems greer plays more like Asomogau and stays on the right side of the field the majority of the time. So unless they switch things up and move him around a little more he will really be shutting down Garcon and not necessarily Reggie. 9) I thought we as colts fans don't use such things like "clutch" :) - buzz Fri, 05 Feb 2010 05:17:00 +0100 http://www.18to88.com/2010-archives/february/eyes-in-the-backfield-saints.html#comment-7877 Tedy Bruschi just picked the Colts for the Superbowl. I wonder how that felt coming out of his mouth. http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/playoffs/2009/news/story?page=superbowlpicks10 - Stiglitz Fri, 05 Feb 2010 04:45:03 +0100 http://www.18to88.com/2010-archives/february/eyes-in-the-backfield-saints.html#comment-7876 I didn't see that. That is hilarious. - DZ Fri, 05 Feb 2010 04:16:40 +0100 http://www.18to88.com/2010-archives/february/eyes-in-the-backfield-saints.html#comment-7875 Did you see it was leaked that Powers actually had surgery on his foot? So let me get this straight...they keep the surgery thing a secret for a CB that most people have never heard of yet give and exact diagnosis on one of the biggest stars of the NFL the following day. I find this all very funny and have no doubt Freeney is going to play and be close to 100%. - LDG Fri, 05 Feb 2010 04:08:23 +0100 http://www.18to88.com/2010-archives/february/eyes-in-the-backfield-saints.html#comment-7874 - 14 also got a chuckle and smile from me - I just made a comment on one of the links about #1. It all seems out of character for the team and I imagine we'll be surprised on Sunday - either he's going to play a whole lot more or less than expected. If he gets a full game out of it and makes plays, he could be a surprise MVP candidate. - #3, my brother and I were talking about that. Something about Brown, he just seems due. Combined with the Saints run D, Donald could end up with the most memorable play of the game. In fact, would it be surprising if the Colts focused more on running and slowing the game down? It's easy to expect a high-scoring game, but considering their run D, maybe we'll be focusing on putting together a few 10-minute drives. 57 hours left...... - psvirsky Fri, 05 Feb 2010 03:23:41 +0100 http://www.18to88.com/2010-archives/february/eyes-in-the-backfield-saints.html#comment-7873 Yes, 14 made me stop for a second - Solute Fri, 05 Feb 2010 03:18:30 +0100 http://www.18to88.com/2010-archives/february/eyes-in-the-backfield-saints.html#comment-7871 o.k., #14 got a chuckle - Clarence Beaks Fri, 05 Feb 2010 02:46:58 +0100
