Why is it so hard to tackle? Why are these idiots in the NFL if they can't even simply ing tackle? Harper needs to get cut.

They run when they should of passed in the endzone, and they pass when they should of run in the endzone, outcome? Zero POINTS....fail.

Packers got pretty lucky there late, but their D managed to just pull it out. Saints never gave up, half a yard away from making this a ing game. Saints D is straight sh*t though.

Saints could of easily won by 17 points, holy . I don't care what anybody says, that Saints team is for real, that D will get it together soon, if they're lucky.

Saints entire defense needs work. Their o-line was pretty bad tonight too, but they were playing Green Bay. No easy feat in stopping their defense. Saints still put up 34 on them. Saints will still be competitive.

With all due respect to Brees and the Saints, the Packers really dropped the ball on their pass defense. The last 10 first downs of the game were from the Saints.

really didn't agree with the decision to run it on the last play. You give yourself multiple options with the play on a pass, but with the run, it's probably expected and leaves the game (or six of the eight points needed) up to the guys you didn't trust to run it in earlier in the game on 4th Down.
Good game, and I certainly think the Saints aren't doomed. They have things to do a lot of work on, but they didn't embarrass themselves out there.

Overall, fantastic game tonight. Can't wait to sit back and enjoy the remainder of the games.

Not a good game, but a fun one to watch. I'll rake the good fantasy day from Rodgers. Wish hawk had a few more tackles. But the saints lost, so it's a good day.

The first half was a super fun half of football. The 4th quarter had some excitement at the end. But honestly, the 2nd half started sluggish and the Packers seemed content with just running the clock down each time. It really seemed like they took their foot off the pedal. I hate that strategy that early in a game.

Saints D ing raped me last night. Knew I waited too long to pick up a D/ST. Also sat Sproles in my other league, so yea last night pretty much sucked any way you look at it. Did have Nelson starting tho so that worked out well.

I was weary starting the packers D against the saints, but the turnover and KR TD saved me.
Most leagues don't give you points for punt returns for individual players, so it's not like Sproles went off or anything. Only 7 points in most leagues.

Unless I picked one up from waivers, they really were my best option I was weary starting the packers D against the saints, but the turnover and KR TD saved me. Most leagues don't give you points for punt returns for individual players, so it's not like Sproles went off or anything. Only 7 points in most leagues. Sproles had 13 pts. in one of my leagues. I'm new to FF so idk exactly how the scoring works, but yea if my starters dont atleast have that, im not gunna be a happy camper.

you'll get used to it. hindsight is always 20/20. I had sproles on my bench and he scored 21 pts. Also had Meachem who had 18 but it never crossed my mind to start either of them.
The smart thing is to play your studs, and especially the first week you generally just start the players in the order you drafted them.

Yeah, I benched Meachem for Deion Branch. I hate the Saints receivers because you never know which one will do anything. And I had a feeling Branch might at least get a TD against the Dolphins.
