Setting up for an exciting second half. Mandeville leads St. Paul's 17-14 heading to the start of the 3rd quarter on @VSNLouisiana

There’s No doubt TB has been the better team today - not really close - but the officiating overall has left a lot to be desired.

Apparently Gano thought he was kicking in the Citrus Bowl.

So Warford is out, yet two running attempts, and WRs appear to have trouble getting separation - ok Payton, next move.

At this point is a poll even necessary to determine NFL ROY for offense? KAMARA

Is bear hugging DE Cam Jordan holding? Just checking.

If memory serves me well - & apologies if already mentioned - Saints RBs each hit 100 yds rushing in game: Muncie-Galbreath 1976 vs KC; Heyward-Mayes 1990 vs Cin; Deuce-Bush 2006 vs NYG. Let’s add another!

Another typical Payton-Fox strategy duel, the kind where WRs like L. Moore or Snead find holes in D. Where’s Snead - barely using him.

If anything, Saints D looks much faster compared to last year, but must get a pass rush.

@NTGraff Thinking about TU triple plays & hope memory serves correctly: Didn't Wave turn one (around the horn) vs Cal St Full in 2005?

So much for the running game that worked in the first half!?

Well, that's interesting - little Mile High assistance?! teapawt.org/darrensixkiller/status…

That must have been some tryout for Lutz that left Payton so impressed!

Saints DBs don't seem to have a clue where the sticks are on third-downs. If they gave more cushion to ATL WRs, they'd be off the field.

So Byrd sits & lets Freeman get to goal line - TD ATL, but ATL DB attacks Snead at stick on 4th- down play & turnover on downs. #badcoaching

Two days ago ESPN wanted Brees traded to Jets - don't think that's happening now (not that it was) & probably not for just 3rd-round pick.

Good field position -- chance to regain momentum Saints!

On replay his knee looked down but is it enough to be definitive in refs' view?

Onside kick coming? Is it too early?

That penalty cost Saints some good field position to start 2nd half! #hiddenyards
