What a game so far!!!

2.05 into the 2nd and the scores 10-7 to the Saints.

Theres only been 1 punt so far with both teams going for it successfully on 4th and short a few times.

Maroney actually has a running game tonight. He's gone 39 from 7 for a TD.

Brees is running it for the Saints though with 6/8 for 80 yds and a TD pass.

The clocks moving at a great speed too. 20 mins of game time in just over 30 minutes.

Devery Henderson TD after a 75 yd pass from Drew Brees. Masive blown coverage left him with an open backfield.

Saints D stepping up now

Patriots owned on the last 3 possessions. Gonna have to go to bed at the half. Need to be up for work

Brees with a 38 yarder



24-10 with 1:41 in the half to go

Gutted, this is a class game. Do you have gamepass? You can always watch the rest tomorrow. Thats what I did with the Steelers Ravens game last night.

Yeah I've got Gamepass. I think I'll just avoid the score and watch the rest when I get back home later tonight.

Brees HT stats: 11/13 for 229 yds and 3 TDs

Awesome stuff.

Im glad ive only been back in the country since yesterday. Its still 10 past 10 in my body

Im really impressed with the Saints D tonight. As good as they have been so far this year is been a bit "If you score 30 we'll score 31" and I think if they stay like that they will come unstuck in the PO's. TBF though if this is the start of how the D plan to play for the rest of the year I cant see past them.

Cant wind me up lad I dont care I would save your breath/typing finger

Saints must have been brilliant to watch last night



Looks like our D was a load of crap again Im starting to worry a bit about our lack of experience when it comes to playing experienced QBs like Brees and Manning they have both had a field day in the last few weeks!!

Brady needs to start controlling the clock in the next few months and step up to his previous form against the bigger teams.

I would not have thought the Saints would have beaten the Patriots by that much.

No you wouldnt

Spread Pick 'Em Standings after this weeks results:

1. Adamjk - 15-16
2. ST_CONROY - 14-17
3. El Pac Carnegie - 12-19


I'll put the next set of games up later on.

Looks like I've made the fantasy league interesting with my 2nd loss in a row this week. I was never going to win with Matt Ryan getting hurt and getting 0 points and wouldn't even have won if I'd had all the higher scoring bench players starting.

2 winnable games to end the season, hopefully I make the playoffs. Anything can happen though...

Not going well for me the tipping comp! Moved to 6-6 which gives me a shot at the playoffs again but i will almost certainly have to win out to sneak the wildcard spot

Quite suprised i'm 14-17 this week in the spread. I thought i was much worse than that actually.

Fantasy wise Conroy's Colts have clinched the division, with victory this week, and stand at 11-1.



So gutted at the 1 loss. Entirely my selection fault by playing Moreno over Rice and losing by 3 points.

Wouldn't worry about it, regular season losses mean rock all when the chips are down. You wouldn't want to repeat the Pats and lose the 0 in the big one!

BTW how good is this years Madden, just starting my 2nd season with the Rams. I'm insanely weak at DT but other than that i've managed to create a reasonably competitive team with a rookie QB and some decent drafted threats at WR.

I went for NCAA 09 this year. Very impressed with it. I'm the Oregon Ducks and am doing quite well. Recruitment is a right pain in the ar*e though!

I have NCAA 09 on my PSP.

Madden is excellent, i've done a full season and a pre-season and then my PS3 broke and was replaced so i never got around to starting it again.

Couple of annoyances with it though. Can't challenge TD's and the way it always bring up stats about the Bengals.

My main annoyance, is the same as on Fifa, there is no way that Greg Jennings should be caught by a DE in the open field. When in space no matter how quick the player is your using they virtually always get caught when in real life that wouldn't happen.

Shocking fantasy week for me only a total of 64 points



and thats with Austin getting 20 of them



I will be back next season with a bit of experience

Nice pics by the way. Would love to get to a game sometime soon. Only ever been to baseball games before and I couldn't even get into Soldier Field when I went to Chicago last year and also only managing to drive past Philadelphia and Baltimore's stadiums is the best I've done



I'm also wondering how much longer this thread will go after already going over 100 posts over the '1,000 post lockage limit'

D'oh.

On fergie time.

It has gone over the 1000 posts.
