They can't take them all and he is making $$$. All good.

Demario Davis also a beast
As a Cowboys fan that was awesome!
Oh yes, there are Saints fans here. Watching the defense give up the TD was hard to watch, watching Drew do his thing was magical, watching that kick took me back to the Morten Andersen days.
Great game, glad to be 1-0.
I’m a big Saints fan. Boarded a plane with :55 left and missed the ending! One of my teams lost kicking and the other won kicking!
I was there, it was brutal. Going from winning a game, to losing, back to winning, then back to losing, to finally winning all within 2 minutes is tough. It felt like a playoff game.
The refs still found a way to screw up calls.

Two calls stand out to me: the personal foul on Hopkins for a completely legal tackle (even if it was a body slam), was garbage. Then the running clock call after the review, which the refs subsequently admitted was wrong. They should've had 31 seconds rather than 16.
Other than those two calls, it was a decently officiated game. Saints fans are upset about the roughing the kicker call but you can't land in the kickers legs. They generally let contact with punters go unless it's egregious but that kind of leeway isn't granted when kickers are involved.

I would agree with you. I think the roughing the kicker was correct, but tricky tacky. It wasn’t malicious and could have been a no call. But by the letter of the law it was called correctly.
I was in the Dome for the game. The flag on the kicker wasn't that bad... I've seen much worse. 10 second run off was complete crap. Lots of fans dressed up as refs. I'm thinking being former great linebacker Pat Swilling from the Dome Patrol Days was there maybe it got that D fired up. Texans better find a way to protect Watson, it will be a shame to waste a good young qb who can become great.

I liked the Sammy Knight interview....aside from the hug at the end. Haha

Wil Lutz..who didn't have a single offer and enrolled at GSU as a regular student...and tried out for the football team as a walk-on.. 
Why didn't the Falcons pick him up....
Like Larry Holder tweeted retweeted today......
I like Will Lutz
And I cannot lie
:D

Same with Hopkins tackle (by rule) which in the old days wasn't even a bad tackle
Lady and Gentlemen. Boys and girls and all the fans in between. This should be in our General Discussion area or in The Sports Bar/Pro Sports.
I'll leave this here but any new NFL threads, unless it is about a specific play or performance by a former SBC player...and not the whole game, should be in one of those two areas.
In other words...stick to the former player - good
Critiquing the whole game - bad
Thanks.
I thought Wil Lutz was a good college kicker.
Never did I believe he'd be one of the elite kickers in the NFL.
I sure am glad.
(I like Demario Davis a lot, too.)
Hilarious that he had never been to the podiums post game and came to the podium barefoot.

This thread is about an SBC player, and can’t discuss the player, and the play, without discussing the game. I don’t see a problem with a thread about something people want to talk about.....

I know this. I am talking just a thread about any old NFL game. I suppose I didn't word it properly. We're good here.
I would argue that, to my life, the most meaningful kick of Wil's career is still that game-winner vs. Abilene Christian that let us start off our horrible 2014 season with a win. Very few kicks that I've watched live will ever have that much weight...
