Saints Top Falcons to Stay Undefeated

]]> The New Orleans Saints sure are fun to watch. After trailing 14-7 after the end of the first quarter against the Atlanta Falcons, the Saints came storming back in the second quarter to take a 28-14 halftime lead. Although they struggled at times in the second half, New Orleans was able to stay undefeated after posting a 35-27 victory.

Quarterback Drew Brees finished with 308 passing yards and two touchdowns. Pierre Thomas had 14 carries for 91 yards and a rushing touchdown. He also had a receiving touchdown in the fourth quarter.

The Falcons got 151 rushing yards and a touchdown from Michael Turner. Matt Ryan struggled a bit, finishing with 289 passing yards to go with one touchdown and three interceptions.

The star wide receivers on both teams shined. Roddy White had 108 yards and a touchdown, while Marques Colston had 85 yards and a touchdown.

The Saints are now 7-0 on the season and look like a Super Bowl contender. The Falcons, who are also in the NFC South, will have to play well in the second half of the 2009 NFL season to earn a spot in the playoffs.

“In Your Face, T”

]]> You can just hear Matt Ryan saying that. He’s had an amazing season and will likely go as a top 5 draft pick. Yet, his accomplishments have been sidelined with Tim Tebow this and Tim Tebow that. Where was the Matt Ryan love?

Thankfully, the voters from the Manning Award remembered him. Although Tebow is a fantastic player, will he translate to professional football? Probably not. Ryan, on the other hand, stands to have a long and illustrious career in the NFL, as his QBing style more closely fits what pro ball demands.

The Manning Award is the only quarterback award that considers bowl performance play along with the regular season. A panel of media experts votes, as do Archie, Peyton, and Eli Manning, for whom the award is named. Vote-talliers said that it was close, by Ryan edged out Tebow in the end.

Others up for the award were Erik Ainge, Sam Braford, Colt Brennan, Chase Daniel, Dennis Dixon, Graham Harrell, Patrick White, and Andre Woodson.

Congrats, Matt Ryan!

Vote for Your Heisman Hopefull

]]> Rivals.com is holding a fan poll for the Heisman. Personally, I think that it’s too early to get good poll results, but whatever. They also only list five choices, and while these players might be the front runners this week, who knows what will happen this weekend during the games.

But, if you want to log in your vote, head over there now and cast your ballot for Tim Tebow (currently in the lead), Andre Woodson, Mike Hart, Dennis Dixon, or Matt Ryan!
