@sgw94 Goodnight!
Stephen White [11:30 PM]:
Goodnight folks
Stephen White [11:20 PM]:
Why are they throwing?!?! Just keep playing with fire
Ryan Nanni [11:19 PM]:
LOOK AWAY, JOHN ELWAY.
Clay Wendler [11:19 PM]:
Stephen White [11:15 PM]:
Final score will look better but gotta believe this one is over
Stephen White [11:12 PM]:
Man did they just take Smith out of the play with Vacarro underneath
mgowp8 [11:12 PM]:
@Clay Wendler That GIF is so true if you replace camera with “girl you were staring at”
Stephen White [11:08 PM]:
This is taking too long
Stephen White [11:07 PM]:
Weak call
Clay Wendler [11:03 PM]:
Stephen White [11:01 PM]:
@Run Home Jack not during a football game lol
Ryan Nanni [11:00 PM]:
@sgw94 Hope is a good thing. Maybe the best of things.
Stephen White [10:59 PM]:
Just silly. Nothing you can do in that situation except hope Graham drops it
Stephen White [10:55 PM]:
Saints are back to throwing it every play. They need to keep running to bleed the clock and get easy 3rd downs
Stephen White [10:53 PM]:
Panthers might want to try to move the pocket to give Cam a chance to throw with a run option on the edge. Half rolls, bootlegs etc
Ryan Nanni [10:51 PM]:
I hope Cam’s wrist playbook just says “NO POUTING.”
Stephen White [10:49 PM]:
Cam sacks Cam again
Stephen White [10:49 PM]:
Three man rush sucks but Cam cant find anybody open then Smith drops the dump off after getting knocked down
mgowp8 [10:49 PM]:
@Ryan Van Bibber Temba, his arms wide?
Stephen White [10:45 PM]:
Nice run by Cam to get the first. Need more of that
Stephen White [10:41 PM]:
Stewart has a big wrap on his right knee. Think his night is done.

Stephen White [10:40 PM]:
Panthers defense at least finally looks like its in sync. Still need to score on offense or get some turnovers to help the offense
Navy_Rebel [10:38 PM]:
curse you, google
Navy_Rebel [10:38 PM]:
Stephen White [10:38 PM]:
Step up into an unblocked blitzer? Yeah that would be smart Collingsworth, suuuuuure
Ryan Nanni [10:34 PM]:
@Rodger Sherman thx go purple pants
Ryan Van Bibber [10:33 PM]:
@mgowp8 Ron, on the river
Rodger Sherman [10:32 PM]:
Ryan Nanni [10:31 PM]:
This game needs more snow.
Navy_Rebel [10:30 PM]:
Colston has had 2TDs at home last three years against Carolina, so he’s reached his max. Time for someone else to score I suppose.
mgowp8 [10:29 PM]:
@Ryan Van Bibber :( Riverboat Ron is now just River Ron
Stephen White [10:29 PM]:
Thats a win for the defense. But if the Panthers dont score soon on offense the dam will break
Ryan Van Bibber [10:28 PM]:
Stephen White [10:28 PM]:
They are letting them play it seems
mgowp8 [10:28 PM]:
It’s the thought that counts really
Navy_Rebel [10:27 PM]:
Colston traditionally loves to play the cats.
mgowp8 [10:26 PM]:
Throw it to Graham plz, I need the moral victory of having the most points this week
Ryan Van Bibber [10:24 PM]:
@mattufford but you didn’t expressly tell me not to leave Colston on my bench since, so …
Stephen White [10:24 PM]:
Close. I say call stands
Stephen White [10:23 PM]:
Vet move by Colston for the TD. He is BALLIN
Matt Ufford [10:22 PM]:
I just wish someone from SB Nation had predicted this, perhaps in video form! http://www.sbnation.com/2013/12/8/5189728/war-room-saints-vs-panthers-sunday-night-football-fantasy-preview
Stephen White [10:21 PM]:
This is about to get out of hand.
Stephen White [10:20 PM]:
Too big, too strong: Jimmy Graham
Charlie Gebow [10:16 PM]:
Got a feeling that Drew Brees is about to have murder for dinner
Stephen White [10:15 PM]:
Should have gone for it, missing that kick is karma. Can’t beat the Saints at home kicking FGs especially down 15 in the second half!
Ryan Van Bibber [10:15 PM]:
Wide right. Riverboat Ron would like to [insert gambling analogy here]
Ryan Nanni [10:15 PM]:
Field goals rarely beat touchdowns. Missed field goals never do. #ANALYSIS
Stephen White [10:09 PM]:
Panthers defense really needed that
Ryan Nanni [9:49 PM]:
@Ryan Van Bibber It’s more methodical. Like watching a frog be slowly boiled to death.
Ryan Van Bibber [9:48 PM]:
this is starting to feel like what the Seahawks did to the Saints last week, but it doesn’t hurt as mucho
Stephen White [9:48 PM]:
Graham with the TD and this might end up a rout in the second half. Carolina will have to step outside of its comfort zone offensively to come back
Mark Ennis [9:48 PM]:
Not ideal coverage from Kuechly there.
Ryan Nanni [9:48 PM]:
Covering Jimmy Graham must be the second worst assignment. (Worst is giving Tony Siragusa his sponge bath.)
mgowp8 [9:48 PM]:
Welp
mgowp8 [9:47 PM]:
I want that dog
Stephen White [9:46 PM]:
Going down 15 at the half will be no bueno
Charlie Gebow [9:45 PM]:
Jetsam Ron?
Stephen White [9:45 PM]:
Nice tackle by Davis. Panthers better get a stop here
Ryan Van Bibber [9:45 PM]:

Ryan Nanni [9:44 PM]:
I was all ready to believe in you, Carolina. I’m such a fool.
Stephen White [9:39 PM]:
Was basically a 4 man rush even though a lot of guys were walked up pre snap
Stephen White [9:38 PM]:
Cam sacks Cam
Stephen White [9:38 PM]:
Talk up Lafell earlier then he drops it there SMH
Ryan Van Bibber [9:34 PM]:
Is home field making much of a difference for the Saints at this point in the game?
Ryan Nanni [9:34 PM]:
| 2nd | 2:44 |
| CAROLINA | 6 |
| MOTORBOAT ROB RYAN | 14 |
Stephen White [9:33 PM]:
Colston again
Stephen White [9:33 PM]:
Why di Olinemen look back on screens?!
Stephen White [9:31 PM]:
Sproles got mugged there. He is just too damn quick in the open field
Ryan Nanni [9:31 PM]:
That flag was so late it might be pregnant.
Stephen White [9:30 PM]:
All those shifts by the Saints got the Panthers shook up. Then Blackburn takes a bad angle.
mgowp8 [9:28 PM]:
@Run Home Jack I feel like Twain should have covered this in greater detail
Ryan Nanni [9:27 PM]:
@mgowp8 (you’re asking an English major, so)
Ryan Nanni [9:27 PM]:
@mgowp8 I assume you gotta light the coals. Or something.
Oh No Romo [9:27 PM]:
@mgowp8 Or die trying!
mgowp8 [9:25 PM]:
@Run Home Jack Can you rev up a steamboat?
Stephen White [9:25 PM]:
Nice blitz pickup by The Saints leads to that completion
Ryan Nanni [9:24 PM]:
See, I’d take defensive holding there. Pad the first down stats.
Stephen White [9:20 PM]:
Saints WILL keep blitzing, thats just Rob Ryan’s style. But so far it doesn’t appear they need to on 3rd and medium to long. Might get hit deep if they keep doing it too
Ryan Nanni [9:18 PM]:
REV UP THAT BOAT, RON
Stephen White [9:17 PM]:
Panthers having a tough time blocking four man rush from the Saints
Ryan Van Bibber [9:17 PM]:
Stephen White [9:17 PM]:
Might wanna tear “WR screen to Keenan Lewis’ side” out the playbook now
Stephen White [9:15 PM]:
Panthers playing keep away with this running game. Keeping Brees off the field and bleeding the clock. Smart
Matt Ufford [9:12 PM]:
@sgw94 You wouldn’t say that if you had Colston on your fantasy team this year.
Stephen White [9:09 PM]:
Colston might be the most underrated WR in NFL history. Always making plays. And just like that the Saints are up. TDs not FGs tonight
Stephen White [9:07 PM]:
Running the ball always helps to set up everything else.
MarshAndBog [9:05 PM]:
Waiting all day for Sunday Night? So has he… <img title=“Hosted by imgur.com” src=“”“ src=“http://i.imgur.com/QyKTFKM.png”/>”>
Ryan Nanni [9:02 PM]:
It will be fitting if Darren Sproles balls out while they’re promoting The Hobbit.
Stephen White [9:00 PM]:
Run the ball
Ryan Nanni [9:00 PM]:
I’m gonna say it: I liked Jewel better with the janky teeth.
Stephen White [8:58 PM]:
@Clay Wendler i mean yeah i put on some weight but i wouldnt say im “round” just yet!
Clay Wendler [8:57 PM]:
hey is stephen white around
Stephen White [8:56 PM]:
Somehow i got the downs wrong. Or NBC had the downs wrong one, either way another FG makes it 6-0
Stephen White [8:55 PM]:
Vacarro is so sick in bump and run
Stephen White [8:55 PM]:
Saints might take a shot here
Stephen White [8:55 PM]:
Or not, going for it. And dont get it
Stephen White [8:54 PM]:
Another FG attempt
Stephen White [8:54 PM]:
Another FG attempt
Stephen White [8:54 PM]:
OLineman just whiffed on Jenkins yikes
Stephen White [8:53 PM]:
The tank that is Tolbert for the first down. Dont wanna tackle him with a full head of steam coming down hill
Clay Wendler [8:52 PM]:
Stephen White [8:50 PM]:
Mightve been a bigger gain had 88 actually blocked anybody
Stephen White [8:49 PM]:
Power O.
Ryan Nanni [8:48 PM]:
3 and out, long punt return, punter may be hurt. LET’S GEAUX!
Mark Ennis [8:48 PM]:
Holy cow that was a facemaskiest facemask I’ve ever seen.
Stephen White [8:48 PM]:
Uh oh
Stephen White [8:48 PM]:
3 and out for the Saints. Maybe run the ball next drive?
Ryan Nanni [8:43 PM]:
| 1st | 8:42 |
| RIVERBOAT RON’S FAMILY CRUISES AND GRAD PARTIES | 3 |
| NEW ORLEANS | 0 |
Stephen White [8:41 PM]:
Panthers will need TDs not FGs tonight
Stephen White [8:40 PM]:
Well look what happens when they rush four
Ryan Nanni [8:39 PM]:
Junior Galette’s beard could kick my ass.
Stephen White [8:39 PM]:
Why get cute there? Hate when OCs do that near the redzone
Secretary of Balloon Doggies [8:38 PM]:
Whenever Cam is on the field they should have a live shot of an old white sports writer in the corner so we can enjoy the angry face
Stephen White [8:38 PM]:
First third down the blitz, this time the Saints rush three. Cant understand why they dont just rush four and play coverage.
Stephen White [8:35 PM]:
But then he can do stuff like that which makes the rush moot
Stephen White [8:35 PM]:
Saints really collapsing the pocket with four. If they can get pressure without blitzing Cam is in for a long night
Stephen White [8:34 PM]:
Lewis knew that was coming
Stephen White [8:33 PM]:
Lafell is playing so much better,
Charlie Gebow [8:33 PM]:
@Run Home Jack Things I haven’t thought about since the mid-2000s for 200, Alex
Stephen White [8:33 PM]:
Wonder if Cam can pull that because the pitch looked like no one was assigned to them
Ryan Nanni [8:32 PM]:
And they really are. 
Ryan Nanni [8:31 PM]:
Kickin it with @taylorhicks at the #saints game!!! pic.twitter.com/pQ87RsdxwO

Here we go
Ryan Nanni [8:30 PM]:
@Oh No Romo It was, and not just for digestive reasons.
Oh No Romo [8:30 PM]:
Wasn’t Campbell’s Chunky Soup considered a curse at one point in time?
Ryan Nanni [8:28 PM]:
So are any Subway spokesmen going to be in the playoffs this year? Can that be a new curse?
Mark Ennis [8:25 PM]:
@Run Home Jack that’s worth singing about.
Ryan Nanni [8:24 PM]:
@Mark Ennis She’s talking about Sundae Night. At DQ.
Mark Ennis [8:24 PM]:
I don’t know what Carrie Underwood is talking about. I try to avoid Sunday night because I have to go to work in the morning.
Clay Wendler [8:22 PM]:
Stephen White [8:21 PM]:
Good Sunday Night Football evening, folks!
Ryan Van Bibber [8:21 PM]:
Hello friends!
