Falcons at Saints(-7.5)

[jlb1705]

The league has put the refs in an almost impossible position with "defenseless player" and "helmet to helmet" rules.

Yep, and you can't legislate the danger out of the game.

The league's offenses want to play in the dangerous areas of the field because that's where the competitive leverage is, and they don't want to accept the risk that comes with that.

It seems like the game has shifted from defenses saying, "If you go over the middle, be prepared to pay the consequences" to offenses saying, "We're going over the middle and we dare you to try and stop us without getting an extra fifteen yards and a substantial fine tacked on."

Jenkins just housed a fumble recovery. This Saints D is relentless. Smith, Vilma and Jenkins are all fun as hell to watch play.

Brees sets the record with a TD pass.

If they don't resign him they are flat out crazy.

N.O. is an odd place.

But congratulations to Mr. Bress!

The only reason Dan Marino doesn't give a shit is because he knows that he would've thrown for 8000 yards and 75 TDs if these bitchmade rules were around in the '80s.

nope

Rodgers has:

• more wins
• head-to-head win
• more TDs
• fewer INTs
• better QB rating

Nothing like a good ball-rubbing joke in the postgame speech.

Yep, Brees has been tremendous this season, but Rodgers has been on a different plain most of the year.
