They are not wasting a timeout as scoring plays are automatically reviewed...this isn't new

How about more creative and less predictable play calling Notice no one really complains about Pettine?

Where is the creativity on first down

What a shock first play of second half is a run

Gotta throw it up high to Chandler there but still great effort

If Lewis didn't already win me over he would be doing it today. Yes he needs better ball security but he is showing some real toughness today

The defense looks great today

Anyone else sensing a turnover by defense here

That was nice play all around

Hackett loves calling same play after big gain

Choice has been running hard all year

Hackett did call play action on third n five knowing pressure was coming There are plays that can be called to offset pressure but we are not seeing them so no it's not lame its common sense Where are the quick hitters, slants screens short crossing patterns

Would love to hear Deirdorf explain why that would be a punting situation for Peyton or Brady and not Brees

I mentioned earlier in week that Hackett just calls plays without any regard to situation, down or distance

Play calling not helping as usual Saints bringing pressure so Hackett should be calling quick hitters and screens but haven't seen either

Horrible play call on third down needed to get some yards for closer FG

I guess they used up all their screens for the month in last weeks game

Tuel is the backup with Flynn inactive

This is exactly why the read option is dumb and will never last in the NFL

I will never understand why ppl care what the dopes on the NFL Network or any other network think The Saints at home are incredibly tough to beat then add the fact that they are coming off their bye after the last second loss to the Patriots and is it really hard to believe ppl are predicting a blowout?

Lynch is also in much better shape now looking leaner and quicker then he did at the end of his Bills career where he just looked sluggish

Or one that was just over a year into his career after being the third overall pick with numerous years left on his contract vs one with one year left on his deal that looked like he was on his way out of the league with off the field issues and what appeared to be motivational issues People need to stop looking at the player Lynch is now on one of the best teams in the league and remember the guy he was with the Bills before being traded...huge difference

What part did you not understand? The OP was questioning how good the Chiefs actually are based on the competition

Completely different situation, can't compare the two

There would be some extra intensity at the Ralph for that one
