[NFL] Saints lose their first game


Recommended Posts

The Saints just lost their first regular season game, and it was to the Dallas Cowboys!

There goes their perfect record.. now they are 13-1.

I'm a huge Dallas Cowboys fan, so I could not be happier right now.

Disappointing loss. The Saints were doing a great job of driving down the field on their last drive and the offensive line let Brees down big time.

I'm convinced the Cowboys still won't beat out the Eagles for division leadership, though. The Cowboys might've gotten lucky, but they still can't play their way out of a paper bag.

I would rather see the Colts losing their perfect record. I recognize Payton's awesomeness, but I just hate his team.

Patriots FTW!!!

(I used to live in MA for those wondering why a guy in FL is cheering for the patriots) :p

Yea, Manning (Payton; Eli sucks) is a great player, but the Colts have gotten extremely lucky. They really shouldn't be perfect right now.

And I agree, go Patriots! :p I'm from Virginia, but the Redskins suck, so it's Patriots for me in the AFC and Eagles in the NFC. :laugh: I think those two will go to the Superbowl if Randy Moss can get his act together.

Ohh, those are some strong words.

Romo is getting better, and I have seen a huge improvement from this season, compared to last season. I have to go with my team, you can never go against your team, and say that they are definitely playoff worthy this season, and have a good chance this year.

We just need to fire Nick Folk... that's 10 missed kicks.

Uhh, Payton. Did you see his newest commercial? He didn't even speak, he was just a face. I wish I could remember what it was for.

Patriots had a real easy lineup this season, probably one of the easiest. They also lost to Miami, how bad do you need to play to lose to Miami when you have a team like the Patriots.

I know tomorrow they should easily beat Buffalo, but we'll see how good the patriots play in the snow!

The Cowboys will most likely make it into the playoffs (probably by wildcard since the Giants are sucking wind), but I don't think they'll get very far. They have a really, really big tendency to choke.

Same goes for the Colts. They're in the playoffs, but they won't make it to the Superbowl. Peyton always chokes.

Dallas finally did it! They beat somebody good in December! Definitely will get a few people off Romo's back but I'm sad to see the Saints not go undefeated. I can't root for the Colts because they are perennial winners. I can't ever say anything bad about Peyton though, especially after that United Way SNL skit.

Make that post-December record 20-41 since 1997! :p

If you can't tell, I don't have much love in me for the Cowboys. :laugh:

You hide it very well

/sarcasm

It has nothing to do with luck, or a jinx.. Dallas is on a good road (beating one of the undefeated teams in the league) to getting over this nasty cloud hovering over their head.

But they still lost to the Giants (twice) and Green Bay. I guess that makes those two the best teams in the NFC since Dallas beat the Saints. :p

Sony commercial.

There are more commericals here: http://www.youtube.com/user/sonyelectronic.../21/N_wlCQh3064

Screw the saints and screw the cowboys even more!

GO PACKERS and the VIKINGS! :D Cowboys have nothing on them.

The Saints played poorly on offense for nearly the entire game, and our secondary is getting depleted with so many injuries. Teams recognize that rookie Malcolm Jenkins is our biggest weakness against the pass; it's one of the main reasons why the last three games have gone the way they did. Most, if not all, big pass plays were to his coverage, or better yet, the lack thereof. The loss was bound to happen, but having an undefeated record would have been phenomenal. I also agree that now the hype of perfection is behind them, they can emphasize more on getting healthy for the playoffs, where they will be much closer to 100% than they have in the last two months.

As for the Cowboys, they played a great game and kudos goes to them for the big win, but I'm a bit annoyed with how many reports are heaping praises to them on how they have beaten their December woes while almost completely neglecting that they've only won 1 of 3 this month. Similar praises were thrown to Brady because of one great game. "Brady's back, the dust is gone," blah blah, all after one great game, 3rd or 4th of the season; I didn't buy it then, and still don't think he's fully "back." Two more weeks to go for Dallas, both games against divisional opponents, one of which is looking to take the division title, the other is an away game. Don't buy that their woes are over.

Unfortunately for the Cowboys, their playoff run won't run past the NFC Championship. That one belongs to the now grounded Saints. Who Dat! ;)

    • Telltale returns with The Wolf Among Us, re-revealing the sequel and a new remaster by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Telltale Games, the studio known for its episodic games from the 2000s, had a surprise appearance at the Summer Game Fest showcase today. The studio has gone through a collapse, an acquisition, and a revival but has largely gone silent in recent years. Today's sudden announcement was for the popular The Wolf Among Us series, with news about the sequel and a remaster dropping. Set after the events of the 2013-released title, the sequel will bring back Biby Wolf for a new adventure in Fabletown. This town of fairy tale characters is becoming unstable, with Snow White not being able to keep order as before. "When a brutal series of crimes threatens to fracture the fragile balance holding Fabletown together, Bigby Wolf, sheriff of Fabletown, finds himself drawn into a dangerous conspiracy that reaches deep into the city’s criminal underworld," says the studio. "As suspicion spreads across the city and powerful forces work against him, Bigby must uncover the truth and decide what kind of sheriff - and what kind of wolf - he is willing to become." At the same time, Telltale also announced The Wolf Among Us Remastered, bringing back the classic with a fresh coat of paint. This will include all five episodes from the original game plus over an hour of extra content that will offer behind-the-scenes videos, cast interviews, image galleries, and deleted scenes. The remaster will also have updated visuals and improved UI elements and accessibility features, alongside upgrades to the animations, audio, and frame rates. Telltale has been working on this project for almost a decade now, but if the new release schedule holds, fans will be able to jump into The Wolf Among Us 2 sometime in 2027. As for The Wolf Among Us Remastered, this is slated to release during this holiday season.

    • Alien Isolation 2 will bring a new protagonist and setting, watch the reveal trailer here by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Only a few weeks ago, Sega and Creative Assembly dropped a teaser for a new Alien Isolation. Today at Summer Game Fest, Alien: Isolation 2 was officially announced with a new trailer while also confirming a whole lot of information about the setting of this survival horror project. Check out the reveal trailer above. Leaving behind the Sevastopol space station, the sequel will take players to a remote colony world. With a Xenomorph (or more) on the loose, players will be navigating both the surface of the weather-ravaged planet as well as "the claustrophobic confines of the Weyland-Yutani outpost of Kurosaki Station." Interestingly, Creative Assembly is leaving behind Amanda Ripley, the daughter of Alien's Ellen Ripley, as the protagonist too. While it hasn't confirmed a name yet, players will be taking the role of a new character for this new adventure. The setting is also being described as a new hunting ground for the Alien. This will have players improvising and developing new tools to aid in their survival and escape, all to avoid "cinema’s deadliest killer." "It has been over a decade since we created the original Alien: Isolation and I am so excited to show everyone the first glimpse of the sequel," says Al Hope, Creative Director at Creative Assembly. "Our dedicated Survival team at Creative Assembly has been working hard to create a new, evolved Isolation experience continuing the legacy of the Alien franchise, making the eponymous killer smarter, the environment harsher and the chance of survival slimmer." Promising the same deadly tension from the original from over a decade ago, Alien: Isolation 2 is in development for PC, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PlayStation 5. A release date has not been announced yet.
