Last night's Titans-Saints game featured two blocked punts and the Saints electing to go for the win on 4th down with 11 seconds to go when a field goal would have tied it and sent it into overtime. It was still a pretty dull game. 21 penalties. Glad it's over.
Every team in the NFL played last night. I don't remember that ever happening. 32 teams all playing on the same day? Maybe back in the 60s when all games were played on Sunday but it was considerably fewer teams then.
6 days until football season ...

Quote of the Day
Those weren't the defending Super Bowl champs Thursday night. It was a team of backups. Quarterback Drew Brees didn't even take the field for the Saints.

That does seem remarkable, especially for a Thursday.
Re: The BOTD. I don't know if he nails the final roster or not, but no real argument with it from me. One thing to watch might be WR and if they claim somebody who has to go through waivers. Keep an eye on Camarillo.
Camarillo is an excellent addition to the Vikes. Was very surprised to see the Dolphins part with him. The Saints are very deep at WR and I'm thinking they may hang on to one of their guys (Adrian Arrington) for almost no other reason than to keep him from going to the Vikes and spilling their secrets. Going to be hard to find a roster spot for a 6th WR, though. I think they're going to keep three QBs.
