Had to record it as I was out with the In-Laws in Estes Park. Great game. D held up ok against a potent offense. I didn't think we could win in a "shootout" against Brees and Company, but we found a way to put up 40 points. Didn't expect that.
I voted Morris, but there aren't enough game balls to go around. Fletcher saved a TD, Rak saved a TD with a batted ball, Cundiff was solid, O-line was good against an "ok" D-line, receivers stepped up and made plays, secondary was pretty solid with a few mistakes. Overall can't be happier than to go into NO and come away with a W. Great start to the season and LOTS of work still to do.
Not sure if it was mentioned already, but was Cousins the backup? I thought I saw Grossman in street clothes at one point.

Cousins is the back up...which in my opinion...is not smart. Why is Rex on the roster if he is the 3rd string QB? Shanny kinda surprised everybody with that move, I really dont think Cousins outplayed Rex. And I really dont think Shanny is a Rex fan, I think Kyle is the fan and Shanny just over ruled him and said Cousins is the back up.

Have we heard any more about Garcon's injury? They mentioned that it had "lis franc" like symptoms. I will tell you that would be bad, very bad.
I had surgery on that in February, 2011 and it is essentially a torn ligament between the metatarsil bones in your foot. Feels a lot like a bruise until it swells and feels like a sprain. It can also be hard to detect unless you look at the bone structure of both feet. If it's caught early and operated on before the ligament begins to heal in the torn position, it can be fixed but it's not a guarranteed. I waited over six months (tore it in June, 2010) and, a year and half out, my foot is still not the same.
I imagine they have really good Docs who would know what to look for but I haven't heard anything definitive.

I was soooo happy when I read that Rex was put on the inactive list on Sunday!
Cousins is the future and Rex will be gone next season, if not sooner.
Now is the time to work with Cousins and get him ready to play just in case. Rex may know the offense better then any of the three qb's but he is third best at executing it in a real game. Rex throughout his career has been an nonathletic turnover machine. I think Cousins did out play Rex in the preseason even if the stats do not reflect it. Cousins shows more upside and a ton more mobility. In the long run I would rather go with rookie Cousins now as our backup even if it might cost us a game or two early on if god forbid he had to play. Get past that initial learning curve with Cousins and he will play at a higher level than Rex ever played.

watch the ball placement in the the 35second mark. Remember,in a span of 4 seconds he had a play action, boot, evade, and throw. Then come back and let the feeling of awe overwhelm you

Can you imagine Rex or John Beck trying that? (or even Jason Campbell) :rofl: :doh:
