Sproles in this offense is incredible.

Sproles was great for the Saints. Like him much better than R. Bush. It was a salary cap issue. They had to let him go. I miss him but the RB's have not been the reason for the two losses.

At 5'6" he is a small target running behind those massive linemen on the screen passes.

I hope cooks can take his role, but right now I'm almost begging for roman Harper back.

That last screen pass was a great run. I love how he ran up the backside of the lineman and basically made himself smaller and nobody could touch him. He is a spark plug for sure. He and fletcher cox were the 2 key players for the W for the Eagles tonight

Hate to see him not in black and gold. But understandable. Pierre fills our need for a receiver out of the backfield.

He will always be one of my favorite Saints, even if he was only there for three years. Much more dependable than Reggie Bush was.

Philly should run away with the NFC East.

I'm sorry. I'm not even a Saints fan, but it is in no way understandable to me. Pierre Thomas is the poorest of a poor man's Sproles, and truth be told, there are only a couple guys in the league that bring what he brings to the table. He is a unique talent that the Saints utilized very well, and I still don't understand letting a guy like that go in order to save a $3.5M cap hit(assuming the website I'm looking at is accurate). With all the restructuring of contracts these days, I feel like they could have found a way to keep him, but the Saints seemed to make very little effort.

Oh well, I guess he'll just tear it up for the Eagles the next 3 years.

It's a big gamble to spend that much on a 31 year old scat back. If he's healthy, he well worth the money. Don't see him staying healthy a full year, much less three.

Four minutes left to wrap up the game for the Colts and Luck tosses an Int (there was some interference BUT it wasn't called)

Would have been nice if they had Vick Ballard to keep running the clock.
