It's the 4th Quarter and the Saints continue to lead the Bucs 17 to 3 after a scoreless 3rd Quarter. The Saints offensive machine has ground to a halt and the Bucs are moving the ball at will so this is not the sealed deal you would have hoped for after the big 1st Quarter demo.
The Bucs are driving but facing 3rd and 7.
Freeman to Winslow over the middle and he takes it 35 yards all the way down to the Saints 33. Not the best start to a 4th quarter I've ever seen.
1st down Bucs.
False start penalty tacks on 5. 1st and 15.
Cadillac Williams bounces out left and speeds his way to the end zone for a touchdown. That was a 99 yard drive! That is pretty poor going by the Saints D. We've gone totally flat after a great start to the game. Let's see if we can throw this away.
Bucs 10 Saints 17
1st down Saints at their 21.
Reggie Bush takes the hand off and runs right for 3. 2nd and 7.
Brees drops back, buys some time and hits Marques Colston for a gain of 11.
1st down Saints.
Brees to David Thomas for 5. 2nd and 5.
Brees rolls right and hits Colston again for a gain of 4 to bring up 3rd and a much needed 1.
Lynell Hamilton takes the hand off and drives up the middle for a few and a 1st.
1st down Saints at the 47.
Brees to Hamilton on the screen but nothing there as Hamilton is taken down for a two yard loss. 2nd and 12.
Brees drops back and connects with Colston over the middle who takes it a few before coughing up the ball and... the Bucs recover. Oh no. This is not what the doctor ordered. The Bucs will have the ball somewhere close to midfield and only a 7 point margin to chase.
1st down Bucs at their own 39.
Williams up the middle and picks up an easy 8. 2nd and 2.
Williams again bursts through the middle for a few more into Saints territory.
1st down Bucs.
Williams again with the carry picks up 2. 2nd and 8.
Freeman connects with Winslow for 28 yards on a great grab.
1st down Bucs at the Saints 28.
Freeman to Stevens who makes a Saint miss and then tacks on 8 more. 2nd and 1.
Freeman goes for the end zone but over throws. 3rd and 1.
Williams takes the hand off again and he is gang tackled. It's going to be very close. They will measure this... They are half a yard short and will go for it on 4th down.
Williams with the hand off and... Jonathan Vilma absolutely nails him for a loss... but the Bucs sideline called a timeout just before the play so they'll get another shot at this. Could that be one of the most painful timeouts the Saints will face this season? We'll find out once the ad break is over.
Freeman on a play action and... Charles Grant batters it down!! Great play by Grant and the Saints D to hold them there. That was a much needed stand after the Bucs moved the ball at will through the 2nd half.
1st down Saints at their 19 with 5 mins left on the clock.
Mike Bell with the hand off for a couple. 2nd and 8.
Brees completes to Devery Henderson out wide right and bursts up field for a 1st.
1st down Saints at the 31.
Lynell Hamilton takes it nowhere on 1st down. 2nd and 10.
Brees to Saints legend David Thomas for a gain of 3. Tampa timeout stops the clock. 3rd and 7.
Brees pump fake and completes to Robert Meachem at the 41 but he may be just short here, The chains will measure and... yes he's short. So Thomas Morstead comes in to punt and it goes to Spurlock at his 20 who dodges a tackle, and another... and another... breaks in field... crosses the field and has open space all the way for a touchdown! Oh man, that is shocking. I can't look. This is aweful.
Bucs 17 Saints 17
1st down Saints at their own 25.
Brees under big pressure escapes a sack and connects with Devery Henderson who makes a heck of a catch. That's great to see after some of his problems of recent. That brings up the 2 minute warning. 2nd and 7.
Holding call against the Saints. 2nd and 17.
Brees to Bush who takes it 14 yards. 3rd and 3.
Brees to Marques Colston in the slot for 6.
1st down Saints at the 39.
Brees to David Thomas on the crossing pattern. 2nd and 4.
Brees to Reggie Bush who breaks 2 tackles and then leaps his way to the sidelines to stop the clock and pick up the 1st.
1st down Saints with 29 left on the clock at the Bucs 45.
Brees over the middle to Thomas and it falls incomplete. 2nd and 10. 24 secs to go.
Brees out wide left to Devery Henderson 7 but he can't get out of bounds so the Saints will have to burn a timeout. 3rd and 3.
Brees to Robert Meachem who breaks a tackle and races 19 yards.
Garrett Hartley will come in for a 37 yard field goal attempt to win it and... It goes wide left. F*ck me this is distressing. I can't believe we're going to over time.

Saints Vs. Patriots 4th Quarter
So you join us in the 4th Quarter with the Saints leading 31 to 17 and facing a key 3rd and 12 at their own 35. All Saints fans could do with a conversion here to keep alive another scoring drive and stretch this lead as it's still tight enough.
Brees throws wide left and... it falls incomplete so Thomas Morstead will punt. Wes Welker fair catches at the Pats 15.
1st down Pats.
Brady goes deep down field and... Over throws Sam Aitken... I love you Tom Brady... please keep that up.
Faulk is chased down by Sedrick Ellis for a small gain. Great to have the big man fill that middle again. 3rd and 9.
Brady under pressure by Charles Grant and he unloads to Wes Welker who is stopped short. 4th and 5 and the Pats will punt. Great D schemes cooked up there by Williams. I hope his mum ruffles his hair when he gets home tonight.
1st down Saints at their 25.
Drew Brees to Marques Colston who takes it and runs all the way to the Pats 48. Incredible throw again by Drew Brees. He put it right on Colstons back shoulder so only he could make the grab in the tight coverage.
1st down Saints.
Mike Bell goes left to the 43. 2nd and 5.
Brees throws incomplete to bring up 3rd and 5.
Brees to Robert Meachem at the marker and he hauls it in. Ooh baby I'm enjoying this lethal execution.
1st down Saints at the 37.
Pierre Thomas over left tackle for 5. 2nd and 5.
Mike Bell is stopped short for 0. 3rd and 5.
Drew Brees to Robert Meachem on the right and another first down. Ruthlessly efficient passing and routes. Just perfect tonight. I owe Brees some ice cream.
1st down Saints at the 25.
Mike Bell up the middle for 5 hard yards. He just pumps those legs like mini pistons and does not give up. Such a low center of gravity. 2nd and 5.
Brees to Marques Colston on the post pattern and... TOUCHDOWN!!! Oh man. What a drive. 9 plays 75 yards, 5.18. Just incredible. That's the 27th TD thrown by Brees this season. Get that man a drink.
Patriots 17 Saints 38
1st down Pats at their own 20.
Draw play picks up 7. 2nd and 3.
Brady under pressure looks down field and... is picked by Darren Sharper at the Saints 38!! He returns it all the way to the Pats 25. Sharper baby you are on fire. Who Dat?
1st down Saints
Mike Bell for 3.
Mike Bell again inside for 3 more. Running down that game clock. 3rd and 4.
Brees to Henderson in the end zone and... Over shoots. I guess the guy is human afterall.
So John Carney comes in for a 37 yard field goal and... it goes wide right. Cancan Carney can't can't.
1st down Pats.
Brian Hoyer is in to replace Tom Brady to signal the Pats have thrown in the towel so we can all enjoy the last 5 minutes.
2 runs for very little brings up a quick 3rd and 8.
Hoyer drops back and... Throws to the fans in the stands and shows that he is no Tom Brady so the Pats will punt.
1st down Saints at their own 22 with 3.58 on the clock.
Mike Bell to the right for 5. Drew Brees still in the game which is good to see. He deserves to see this out as he has been just unstoppable.
Mike Bell again for 2. 3rd and 3.
Mike Bell bursts through the hole for a first... which is then called back for a flag to bring up 3rd and 14.
Pierre Thomas on a draw for 6 to bring up the 2 minute warning.
Thomas Morstead punts.
1st down Pats at their 33.
Hoyer completes for a few... ah who cares now this is over.
Will Smith chalks up another sack to close out the game a few minutes later.
That was the most complete Saints performance I have seen. Drew Brees led the offence with incredible precision and looked totally unstoppable. I am totally out of superlatives to describe just how great Brees is and for the way he played tonight. He was perfect from start to finish.
The receivers were awesome. Henderson, Meachem and Colston all got it done. Bell and Thomas ran the ball well when called upon and that offensive line was totally dominant. Jermon Bushrod, Carl Nicks, Jonathan Goodwin, Jahri Evans and Jon Stinchcomb all take a bow as you deserve all the platitudes you are going to get.
On the D side the banged up secondary did an outstanding job of stopping Brady, Welker and Co. Mike McKenzie just had the game of his life and his pick was a turning point in the game. Harper and Sharper made important tackles and crucial times. Throw in Malcolm Jenkins who kept the likes of Randy Moss quiet and you've got one hell of a display by that unit.
Then the front 7 played great with Fujita, Shanley and Vilma all making important tackles and snuffing out 3rd down conversions. Will Smith, Ellis, Grant and Hargrove all played their part.
In short it was just a great team effort and everyone should be mighty proud of themselves for that performance. It was near perfect football all the way.

Saints Vs Rams 1st Quarter report
Welcome folks as we enter the blandest dome in the NFL for the Week 10 match up between the undefeated New Orleans Saints and the mighty (bad) St. Louis Rams. As kick off approaches the Falconer promises to eat his own hat if the Saints loose this one (and the Falconer has some very big hats... actually 3 Sombreros and 3 cowboy hats... I hope it doesn't come to that as a) I rather like my hat collection and b) I'm not very good at eating straw and felt if truth be told).
The weekend starts here as Thomas Morstead kicks us off and Jo-Lonn Dunbar stuffs the returner at the 13, great job by Dunbar.
The Rams start with an incomplete pass.
On 2nd and 10 Charles Grant lines up offside for 5 yard pen.
Steven Jackson breaks a big one out to the Rams 48. He broke a Vilma arm tackle at the line of scrimmage on the way to that big gain.
1st down Rams and a slant pass for an 8 yard gain.
False start pen against the Rams. 2nd and 7.
Steven Jackson up the middle for 4. That's 2 runs so far to the right - is that a weakness they've identified?
3rd and 4.
Vilma almost sacks Mark Bulger who just about gets it away.
So the Rams have to punt and it goes out of bounds at the Saints 25.
So in come the New Orleans Saints offence led by General Drew Brees, Colonel Colston, Major Meachem, Private Pierre Thomas and Brigadiers Bush and Bell. Sergeant Shockey is peeling potatoes.
1st down Saints. 11.57 on the clock.
Bell 3 yards up middle.
Pitch to Bush to the right and a gain of 16. Nice.
1st down at the Saints 41.
Thomas breaks a tackle and picks up 3.
Brees to Shockey but the big man is hit as the ball gets there and a Ram intercepts at the Saints 47.
1st down male sheep.
A running back is stuffed by Scott Shanle.
Bulger to Jackson who takes it in but is tackled by Shanle. 3rd and 2.
Slant pass, 1st down.
Pass to Jackson, missed tackle Fujita, and Steven J needs all the Saints to tackle him. Impressive.
1st down 19.
Roman Harper tackles Jackson for 1.
Mark Bulger throws and...Usama Young intercepts in the end zone and returns the ball to the Saints 25! Great job Usama. Darren Sharper on the sidelines looking very happy with Mr. Young. The Saints now lead the NFL in the interception category with 17.
1st down 6.44 on the clock.
Brees to Saints TE David Thomas, number 85 for those checking the roster, for a pick up of 3.
Reggie Bush flipped after a 3 yard carry. 3rd and 4.

1st down Saints.
Brees to Thomas for 1.
Draw play to Reggie Bush for 4. 3rd and 5.
Drew Brees to Devery Henderson downfield and... Completes to the Rams 14 for a pick up of 21. That maintains his average of 21 yards per catch throughout his career, quite incredible. Also quite incredible/mildly impressive, that's the 3rd straight 3rd down conversion in a row on this drive.
1st down.
Thomas runs for 2.
Bush up the middle, cuts back for 3. 3rd and 5. Good move by Bush to pick up something from that.
