    That without Reggie Bush's brilliant decoy work, the Saints probably wouldn't have won tonight.

    True, that offensive touchdown was stellar.

    Wait, their defense scored that touchdown...

    Bush decoyed them from the sidelines. His fake reach for some Gatorade caused the turnover.

    wow....i was so underwhelmed. 2.7 yards/touch. i realize it's just one game..and he could explode in the other 15. but remember, this was a guy that some were saying was the most can't-miss prospect they'd ever seen....a year before calvin johnson wore that title. :)

    By the way, I believe Reggie's longest rush was on an end around...which isnt really a rush...so he basically barely averaged 3 ypc. The dude still cannot run between the tackles, and based on his style, I doubt he ever will be able to do so. He continues to get hyped...

    Yes, Bush sucked, so it's ok for Mario to suck.

    Brees also sucked. I guess that takes all the pressure of Schaub.

    If Reggie Bush wants to make it in this league
    he needs to break off a call to Warrick Dunn
    and ask how he does it
    Dunn is small and is a d*mn decent back
    He has lasted over 10 yrs!

    Texans 19
    cheifs 10
    :D

    Well, I don't know about that but one thing I do know is that the words "can't miss prospect" and "Mario Williams" definitely don't belong together in the same sentence.

    Sure. Of course, you're the only one who's said that.

    BTW, Mario doesn't suck.

    It's ok for Mario to suck if you chastised the Texans for passing on Bush.

    No, it's still not ok.

    Was it ok for Carr to suck since Harrington also sucks?

    what i'm saying is, if you were upset that the Texans passed up Bush for Williams (i was one of them) then you're in no position to criticize Mario's play if Bush is sucking it up.

    by no means does it excuse Mario's crappy play, but you (in general) as a Bush supporter, shouldn't be criticizing the Texans.

    Even if you agree with that premise, Bush has done a lot more than Mario.

    I think Mario should perform well as a high pick, regardless of who I wanted them to pick. Vince might start to suck, that doesnt mean we can't criticize Mario if he puts in a lack of effort.

    honestly, this game scares me. if we win, everything is fine for the moment. if we lose 30-27 or something close, then it won't be the end of the world. it's the losing 30 - 12 with no semblence of an actual NFL team that's got me worried.
