New Orleans is a more recognizable name than “Gulf Coast” people all around the world know about New Orleans, a lot of those people probably don’t know it’s on the Gulf Coast.

The Patriots thing is weird because Boston is also and world famous city but it’s also such a small region that I think that’s why they went with that. With the Vikings, I mean who cares really?!

(Carolina Panthers sob in corner)

Another good punt by Hedley.

Hedley has a good leg. But I worry every time he drops the ball for his punt. It looks like the ball is tumbling and has no idea where his foot will contact the ball.

Texans on top of the turds! 19-18 with 1:49 to go

I gotta respectfully disagree .. New England is not small, it includes Mass, CT, Vermont , New Hampshire , Maine and i think a couple of others im missing.. gotta be bigger than the Gulf Coast i think, without looking it up.. my point being that Boston is way more recognizable than New England .

I dont think it sounds terrible, though i do prefer ‘New Orleans Saints’.. just cant understand the rationale of calling them New England , it’s not like someone in Maine or Vermont cant root for them if they are called Boston Patriots.. i dont think anyone in Mobile or Destin is any less likely to pull for the New Orleans Saints than if they were named Gulf Coast Saints…. I jsut like consistency is all im saying.. plus i have time to think since im not stressed out at the end of a Saints game for the first ttime in forever .

The Patriots stadium is pretty close to Providence, RI, smaller than Boston, but still a metro area of 1.7 million. When they've won Super Bowls, they've held two parades, one in Boston and one in Providence. I suspect that New England Patriots is because of the dual city identity.

I will continue to say this every week. Thank you Carolina for passing on CJ Stroud.

I think we may win this one.

Either way, wouldn't have been missed with a different snap count

An offsides is an offsides, regardless of snap count. Should not have been missed. Should have at least been offsetting penalties.

Kneel a few times and kick the FG!

 

[GW93]

Damn, when was the last time N.E. laid a goose egg?

Great team win, offense still has a way to go but definitely an improvement. There is hope for now.

[St. Aaron]

Come on, Pete, garbage time TD to Olave…

Brilliant defensive performance

High scoring shutout. I remember 42-0 over the Broncos.
