Sure you don't wanna wait just for the final final thread?

Okay, Okay..... Sorry!! Looks like I missed this topic a few threads down the line (I've been away). It's an important enough game to have another thread, no??

As a disclaimer - I have to tell you that I don't think he's a good corner. Wasn't with GB & isn't here. Is he decent? Yes. Is he really good? No.
I think he could be better if he cut the dreads. They have to weigh a good bit and slow his head snap reactions. I honestly think they're a liability to him. Agree? Disagree?

Agreed on all points.

1) We are faster than they are
2) They lost a bunch of starters on D
3) We Win!

As a Saints fan here is what I see of the Colts...
One of the most potent offensive air attacks in the NFL (ranked in the top ten or higher for like the last 10 years). Early season beasts (10-0 in 06 & 13-0 in 05). Oh and defending Super Bowl Champs on their home turf...
I would like a win but lets face it No Way Baby! Our offense last year was great but against AFC team... Mmm not so good. I just hope we come thru healthy. The prize for us this year is a defense of the NFC South Crown and a trip to the post season. Forget trying to win the SB in September or send a message!!! Bla bla bla.

Thank God we all don't have that kind of attitude. If we did there would be nothing to look forward to. Defend the NFC South title? Forget the Super Bowl? Come on man. I for one want to win it all and think that they can. I even think they can beat the Colts. I hope you're just kidding.

I think that the Saints can win if and only if they score more points than the colts. If passes are completed and runs go for positive yardage, that will help. Also, if the Saints D can keep the Colts from completing passes and gaining yards on the ground, that will help to prevent the Colts from scoring...thus helping to win the game.

So yeah, that's the key...score more points...oh and make good use of the 5 TE set.

JoeSam,

I think (think?) he was being facetious.

Actually 4 TE set. Miller is going to be out with a bad back.
