Words can’t describe how Saints manhandled Bears

The injuries to Bennett and Wright came as a result of collisions with Saints players. Wright’s was particularly nasty, with 6-foot-6, 260-pound tight end Jimmy Graham mowing over him as if he were made of drywall.

No, it was a mess inside the Superdome. And that’s not even including the abuse Jay Cutler took Sunday afternoon. In a matter of minutes in the second half, he went from a sitting duck to Duck a l’Orange and Navy Blue. The Saints ate him up, sacked him six times and laughed at the low degree of difficulty involved. He had to throw away pass after pass under pressure, which helps explain why he completed only 19 of 45 passes. Right from the beginning Sunday, the Bears looked as if they were walking on a wire on a blustery day, which was weird, considering they were playing indoors. And even though they only trailed 16-10 at halftime, the deficit somehow felt bigger than that. They were having all sorts of problems moving the ball. Nothing came easy.


quote:

The Bears’ defense didn’t do much either. When Drew Brees completes 26 of 37 passes for 270 yards and three touchdowns, it’s because the other team isn’t pressuring him. The only reason he might have had a hair out of place Sunday was because he was wearing a helmet. And he really didn’t need that.

I said earlier that Jimmy Graham is like a Red Wood out there running routes. That's the second time he's hurt someone while being hit.

I like this part -

Cutler got hit so hard in the second quarter he could have been forgiven for being uncertain of where he was, whom he was and why he had chosen crash-test dummy as a profession. For a few seconds after the hit, he held his head while on his hands and knees. It was a picture worth a 1,000-word obituary

I was commenting on that during the game. People try to tackle him but he's so big and moving so fast, they just hurt themselves and barely even change his momenutm. Dude is crazy.

I wish the Times Picayune could get a sports writer half as good as that guy.
