But New Orleans is winning....

Mario has gotten better in each of his last 3 games.

Im just saying the Bush people say well the Saints are winning when it really has nothing to do with Bush.

i know, but i just wanted to dig at the bush cocksuckers.

on a somewhat related note, peppers has 8 sacks now. he's on pace to top strahan's most sacks in a season record.

I think the more telling stat would be how many double-teams/chip blocks mario is drawing, versus how many 7 or 8 in the box defenses bush is drawing.

You don't really believe it has NOTHING to do with Bush, do you? I mean that's just dumb. He may not be the biggest reason, he certainly is part of the reason.

houston's not in last place in their division anymore

I mean shit, Houston at 2-4 after beating the Jaguars is better than most people would expect them to be this year

10/23/2006 3:11:01 PM

They wouldnt be much better had they had Bush

10/23/2006 3:12:05 PM

A healthy Andre Johnson is huge. I think that if their RB (who for the life of me I can't remember his freaking name right -- which doesn't exactly help my argument) is healthy they are a 6-7 win team this year.

^ actually this year they would be imo. Bush is clearly better then Lundy..

dominick davis

and yea this year the texans might be better w/ bush, but only b/c of davis' injury

10/23/2006 3:14:48 PM

Dominick Davis was a decent RB when healthy. Not as good as Deuce, but that wasn't a position of more need than DE.

^What he said

^^ thanks and that is all I meant. This year.

10/23/2006 3:15:40 PM

davis had over 1,000 yards the past two seasons. they didn't need another rb. their defense was last, or next to last, in the nfl. they need help on defensely badly.

10/23/2006 3:16:32 PM

Domanick Davis is a very solid back if he can stay healthy. Now that Carr is getting more than abysmal blocking, the Texans have a shot of 5-6 games.

Bush is having a big impact on the Saints and their success. His damn punt return won one game and his versatility makes their offense go. Just listen to what the other Saints players like Horn, Brees, McAllister all have to say about his impact on the opposing D by him just being on the field.

you gonna convince me that the Saints won this week? Cause they didnt

Hell, Bush didnt even play...hows that for the almighty 2nd coming of ditka

10/23/2006 3:50:20 PM

dont be pissed cause reggie is not a bust. You know perfectly well that was a weak troll

10/23/2006 3:52:19 PM

dont be pissed cause reggie is the best college rb ever and his lone professional TD is a punt return

10/23/2006 3:54:31 PM

i'm a panthers fan so I am not mad about his level of sucess. I just dont think he is a bust

10/23/2006 3:55:35 PM

I like Mario... but still... BUSH was the obvious choice

10/23/2006 3:58:51 PM

i dont think he was a bust either

and if you check the thread i made about bush being a flop, you'll see i didnt literally think he would be a flop, but more a good player, but not the great superstar the media hyped him to be

he is doing pretty well, i'm not hating on him except in the context of this intentionally-troll/sarcasm thread

10/23/2006 4:00:20 PM

I guess that means that the Cardinals, if they get the #1 pick this year, should draft Brady Quinn first, just in case Matt Leinart gets injured or something...

If they knew that they wouldn't have Davis this year, then yes bush might have been a better choice. But you have to get starters before you can start spending top picks on depth, and if a team has a #1 pick, it means they are gonna need an immediate upgrade in at least a few places.

10/23/2006 4:40:13 PM

0 rushing td's eh? how many rushing yards does he have though?

anyone can score a touchdown

but to consistently gain yardage, that's where you set yourself ahead of everyone else

[Edited on October 23, 2006 at 6:01 PM. Reason : jank]

10/23/2006 6:00:44 PM

196 yds on 65 attempts (3.0 avg) through 6 games. at this rate, he is projected to finish with 523 yards on the season.

the Saints' biggest acquisition from last year to this year is Drew Brees

thats a no brainer

they have a quality quarterback instead of a horrible shitty QB

Brees is the reason they are doing as well as they are this year

ps the Panthers whooped that ass

haha right, just like matt leinart is the best college qb ever

what a joke

10/23/2006 6:40:08 PM

Archie Griffin might argue with that with his 2 Heismans and all.

Though, Reggie probably deserved 2. He was the most explosive and fun to watch back I've ever seen in college in my lifetime though..

10/23/2006 7:07:58 PM

point being, even if he's the 5th best college RB ever, shouldnt he be scoring more in the NFL?

I dont think Payton or Barry or any of them would have 0 rushing TDs this far into the seaosn

10/23/2006 7:50:48 PM

Ron Pawlus deserved three

10/23/2006 7:55:15 PM

i don't know about sweetness' rookie season, but barry killed it in his first year with the lions. mofo was an instant great.

10/23/2006 7:59:55 PM

679 yards, 7 tds for Payton

splitting carries with two other backs that combined for 194 carries (Payton had 196)

this in 13 games

10/23/2006 8:06:35 PM

no mo...


fucker can FLY

11/12/2006 5:27:03 PM

he just got his first rushing TD on a reverse

11/12/2006 5:27:27 PM

yeah but he a fag

Colston should have kept that shit... at least it would have been better for my fantasy team.

11/12/2006 5:29:24 PM

hes still gay with boys

11/12/2006 5:34:07 PM

superman fumbled - Ben made him pay next play....reggie nets zero points on the field for the day

"America figured out the easiest way to continue to show support for the rebuilding of New Orleans would be to root for the Saints. Instead of questioning why it's taking so long to get so many New Orleanians back into their homes or watching all four hours of Spike Lee's "When The Levees Broke: Requiem," the country has adopted the Saints as its own team, a selfless act considering how much joy those old jokes about the "Aints" brought the nation."

i hate this crap...i'm not rooting for the saints, so stop telling me that i am. i dont know a single person that likes the saints, other than one friend who was born in new orleans.

the rest of the column is spot on. its pretty much my exact argument right after the draft. its not slammin bush necessarily; its just sayin that its in no way, shape, or form a disastrous pick to take williams over bush, and the first half of the season has shown it.

11/13/2006 1:17:40 PM

you're crazy, bush is the BEST PLAYER EVER IN COLLEGE FOOTBALL, even if you already have a runningback that fits in your system and you're trying to build a defense, you're CRAZY not to take him #1 overall, he's just that damn good.
