If the Saints lose, the terrorists win.
CBS and Fox get to choose one game a week to protect that NBC can't flex.
Fox chose Bears-Vikings that week FWIW ... shows the lack of quality games
Porous is a word I'd use to describe our D right now.
I'd use "injured".

13's selection will be an interesting one, as Titans/Colts lost a little luster with today's losses. Miami at the NY Jets could get the call, since both the Bengals and Chargers also lost today. Rough week of games (other than KC/Denver) since it is Thanksgiving weekend and there are 3 on Thursday, plus a great MNF game (Seahawks/Saints).
They actually get to choose 5 games to protect over 6 weeks (Weeks 11-16), but since no one in their right mind would think NBC would get rid of Broncos/Pats in Week 12, neither network decided to protect a game in Week 12.

CBS wanted to protect both KC-Denver but the NFL basically strong armed them into letting NBC have one of them is what I've read.
