That was a mismatch.....

How's about a nice, long, time consuming TD drive..... Please?

[HPF Bob]

Now we get to find out if they are the same choke artists as last year or if they've learned how to put a team away.

[Arky]

Nice return by D Manning on the kickoff, brings it out to the Texan 34.

Schaub is pressured and dump off to Tate goes inc. 3rd and 10 coming up.

Schaub's pass is INT'ed by Greer. Saints ball at the Texan 48.

[NBT]

I give Schaub a D so far in this game. He either throws too low, too high, or he gets intercepted.

And now Brees is chewing us up.

I thought the same. It could be "last team with the ball..." And there's enough time to try to win it.

[Big Texas]

I hate the way Shaub looks when he has to come back from a deficit.
