If nothing else for the Saints, Akiem Hicks is going to be something special in this league headed forward.

[CJSchneider]

Dude, they're in colorado. That's probably a Broncos fan being ironic.

Won't have to go further than Baton Rouge to scout some DEs.

I hope so! Anyone want to give a non-saints view on him? He's been extremely impressive to me, but maybe I'm just hoping for things to get better.

[Giantsfan1080]

Giants, yay!

[WCH]

“I'm going to say 42-7," said a Packers executive, as quoted by Bob McGinn in the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel. "The Packers are playing against a team that can't run the ball. This is a game where [Aaron] Rodgers should throw five or six touchdown passes if they want to throw the ball.” McGinn quotes another scout saying “the Packers should have about eight sacks in this game.”

So the Packers front office is as delusional as their fans? Not surprising. As someone that works in Wisconsin, I think there's something in the water.

Best NFL Network segment ever.

You are WAY more hardcore than njx. He's a wuss.

[Jvig43]

He does give me hope for the human race and is someone I think we should all look up to in anti troll logic.

Oh...your first batch of gifs are done. Don't expect anything awesome though. NBC gives nothing.

Of course Sapp would chose the Steelers.

[PackerLegend]

So apparently the Packers blocked punt came with 10 ppl on the field... funny how it works normally we use 11 and the last time we blocked 1 was like 20 years ago. Maybe we should use 10 more often.

[AntoinCD]

It shocks me how often teams only go out with 10 men on the field, or have 12 men on the field. The Patriots had the same issue last week when they had 10 men on the field when they were punting until Belichick called a timeout. This really should be the focal point of any possible situation thrown up in practice. There really isn't any excuse for only having 10 men on the field

That was a shameful play. Why waste the timeout when you can take a five yard penalty?
