Brandon Coleman game?

The Saints have no more injuries than half the teams in the league and strength and conditioning doesn't prevent broken bones or sprained knees and ankles. Those are all caused by being in the wrong place at the wrong time.

It's true Cooks hasn't had his best games against the Falcons but "struggled" is kinda strong. I think it would be more accurate to say the Falcons have been able to keep Cooks as an average receiver.

In 3 games against the Falcons, Cooks has 16 receptions on 19 targets for 140 yards and a touchdown. 8.75 ypr.

I'm guessing Trufant probably doesn't look forward to the match up either.

Also, If Trufant is shadowing Cooks, that means the 5' 10", Robert Alford will be seeing a lot of 6' 3", Micheal Thomas on the other side. That could turn out to be a match up Brees could exploit.

Either way, this would be a great game for Fleener to start catching some balls. Watson tore up the Falcons last year and this year the Falcons haven't looked any better at covering tight ends and backs.

If we lose tonight, that doesn't reflect well on our season losing on the 10 year anniversary of the dome reopening.

It is an emotional game. We are supposed to win this week. However this week is going to have no bearing on this team's abilities to close out games, sort out the playcalling. That will pick back up at San Diego.

Yet I have the feeling everyone will see this game as the starting point of a turnaround season when it's a team we swept last year. - WillSaints81 - 09-23-2016, 09:53 PM

So if we win, it doesn't have a bearing on our season and if we lose it doesn't reflect well on our season?

Is there any hope for the Saints tonight at all?

Not in the mind of the notorious Mr. Negative.
