What's the over/under on how many more weeks Kyle Orton will start? What about the o/u on total starting Bears QB's this year? Hahaha, don't worry, I love you guys, and by love I mean hate with a supreme passion.

Looks like the Vikings aren't missing Randy Moss at all :)

haha, Ramsey got hurt so that's why Brunnell played but you're right, Ramsey does suck. Why doesn't Washington give Jason Campbell a shot, they used a first round pick on the guy and he surely can't be any worse than the other 2 guys. Besides, Gibbs likes to run the ball more than pass it so maybe that could ease things for Campbell.

Yeah, Ramsey got hurt but he actually had a decent game. Than Brunell came in and did okay too.

Ramsey can start next Sunday but Gibbs will probably use it as an excuse to start Brunell... which is too bad for Ramsey. Both suck and I prefer giving Campbell a shot too.

The Saints are gonna play three games in San Antonio, and four at LSU. I'd definitely would like to go to Atlanta game.


SAN ANTONIO -- The New Orleans Saints will head back to their home state for four games at Tiger Stadium in Baton Rouge, La., and will play three others in San Antonio's Alamodome, their headquarters since being displaced by Hurricane Katrina.

Saints 2005 home schedule
• Week 2 (Sept. 19): New York Giants at East Rutherford, N.J.
• Week 4 (Oct. 2): Buffalo at San Antonio
• Week 6 (Oct. 16): Atlanta at San Antonio
• Week 8 (Oct. 30): Miami at Baton Rouge, La.
• Week 9 (Nov. 6): Chicago at Baton Rouge, La.
• Week 13 (Dec. 4): Tampa Bay at Baton Rouge, La.
• Week 15 (Dec. 18): Carolina at Baton Rouge, La.
• Week 16 (Dec. 24): Detroit at San Antonio

--The Associated Press


While the team and league settled that matter Monday, most of the specifics are still being determined. Ticket plans are being worked out, too, as are ways to tie proceeds to the relief effort.

Many of the Saints are living in a hotel across an interstate from the Alamodome. So they'll have a short commute for games Oct. 2 or 3 against Buffalo, Oct. 16 or 17 against Atlanta and Dec. 24, 25 or 26 against Detroit.

The team will travel to the LSU campus for games Oct. 30 or 31 against Miami, Nov. 6 or 7 against Chicago, Dec. 4 or 5 against Tampa Bay, and Dec. 17, 18 or 19 against Carolina.

The Saints seemed please with the split, which enables them to reach out to fellow Louisiana residents trying to recover from the devastating storm while also showing appreciation for the hospitality they've received in Texas.

"I think the fact of what San Antonio did for us -- we had no other place to go where something like this was set up -- that's what made this happen," Saints owner Tom Benson said.

Speaking publicly for the first time since the hurricane, Benson repeatedly deflected discussions about the team's future.

"We're not going to worry about that today," he said, adding that his only long-term goal is getting the Saints to the Super Bowl this season.

After spending last week getting settled into a new routine in San Antonio, coach Jim Haslett began to like the idea of playing in the Alamodome.

"It's more of a travel issue," he said. "I know what their agenda was, to play as many games as possible in our home state. Our players like that, too. ...

"I'm not really worried about the location," he said. "Our first concern is just to win football games."

No decision was made on the site of potential Saints home playoff games this season.

Agreement on the schedule was reached after a meeting Monday in Baton Rouge involving Benson, NFL commissioner Paul Tagliabue, LSU chancellor Sean O'Keefe and other school officials.

"We had an excellent meeting this morning and quickly developed a dual consensus," Tagliabue said. "The first was to continue to give priority to the needs of the region and the second to the scheduling of Saints games in a way that made sense under the total circumstances. ... We also appreciate the cooperation of the Alamodome officials and the hospitality of the people of San Antonio for their support of the Saints at this difficult time."

The Saints won their season opener 23-20 at Carolina on Sunday. Their first home game was set for this coming Sunday, but was moved to Monday night and will be played at Giants Stadium against the Giants. Saints season-ticket holders and anyone who had purchased tickets for the Giants-Saints game at the Superdome were given first call for tickets to the relocated game. After that, however, Giants season-ticket holders were given priority, meaning it will be a true road game for the Saints.

The manager of the Superdome has said it will take months before the building's future can be determined. It's possible to stadium will be torn down, leaving the Saints to find a new home.

During Hurricane Katrina, with thousands inside seeking refuge, three large holes were blown through the roof. In all, about 70 percent of the roof failed and water poured into the building during the storm, along with debris.

Benson has a home in the San Antonio area and for decades owned car dealerships in the city. He urged local fans to fill every seat and he encouraged the networks to bring the games to a national audience to "give this city great recognition for what they've done for the New Orleans Saints."

"It's most important for there to be capacity crowds to attend every game we have here," Benson said. "It could make me proud, not only of our football team, but show what kind of city you have here."

Henry Cisneros, a former San Antonio mayor and former Cabinet member in the Clinton administration, attended Benson's news conference and said he expects a great turnout.

"I think San Antonio will fill the Alamodome three times," he said.

The stadium seats roughly 65,000 for football.

you're right, we arent :)

who we're missing is matt birk. with all the pressure and joke of a running game showed in the first game, culpeppers gonna have to work miracles throwing into zone defences with no time because of the DE's coming for his head.

but i remain positive. hey the last 2 years we jumped out to 6-0 records and look where we got, hopefully this is just a change up.

oh and if moe wouldnt drop the ball, that would be great

in closing i'll start the bandwagon, Culpepper 4 MVP. i will not be offended if you decide to jump on. (H)

I've heard so many vikings excuses. No Matt Birk, no Scott Linehan, but no one blames the two most obvious problems. No Randy Moss, and you still have Mike Tice.

well we will see after this year if he keeps it.

and missing matt birk isnt an excuse, its the truth. you take away your all-pro center who is a great run blocker, you throw in withrow whos not a good run blocker, who has to work on the inside with 2 young guards. this leads to 25 rushing yards :|. makes it much easier to play the pass. if someone says to me that the vikes are missing randy moss and thats why they lost then that is an excuse. oh and that linehan excuse is pure bull, we are still in a similar system as loney worked un linehan.

and no kidding, when you lose the most dangerous player in the nfl, theres gonna be a void. its so obvious to point out it now hurts and am annoyed to here it. but it all fairness we have filled it quite well and thats not the problem the vikings have to fix. we need better protection and some resemblence of a running game.

fact is we should have won on sunday but we didnt. moe shouldnt have dropped the pass in the 4th which led to the kelly int but he did. you dont win football games by making huge mistakes like this. the d held there offence extremely well, they had no run game till cadillac broke off the big score. and sharper is a beauty.

seasons just started, better to work out all the creases early in the season then have it happen late. i still predict a 11-5 record.
