I’m getting very tired of a Matt Millen catch-phrase: “That one’s on (name)”, uttered when a play doesn’t go well. “That one’s on Brees.” “That one’s on Williams.” I think he’s used it at least four times in this game. ---

Saints finally got the loss they’ve been practically begging for. ---

Sigh. No perfect season for my Saints. They looked horrible in the first half, and not very good in the second half. Really needed Ellis to help stuff the run, but he wasn’t active. Neither was Shockey, and Bush looked like he pulled a hamstring on what otherwise could have been a TD reception. If the Superbowl ends up being Saints-Colts, it’s gonna be a shootout…but the Saints need to get some people healthy, and play a hell of a lot better than they did tonight to make it there. ---

Better to lay an egg in week fifteen than in the playoffs. ---

I remember when the Saturdays after college football ended there would be two games. I think the NFL is still missing a bet by not having those, too. \ ---

Far worse than a Saints loss is the fact that the damn Cowboys getting the win. ---

The Ari-Det game isn’t on here, but I was looking at Game Day. Is it accurate showing two concurrent 15-yard penalties against the same player, both enforced? What the hell did he do? ---

What the hell did he do? He said something not very nice to the head ref, then he did it again. I knew I had to count on one of the two worst teams in the league to help out my 49ers, who need two Arizona losses to have a chance at the division, but I didn’t know Bryan Robinson would help out, too. ---
