Job one beat TAMPA

this is a discussion within the Saints Community Forum; With all the talk of Super Bowls the road there starts with the division game against The BUCS. We need to set the tone for a championship run by decisively pounding a inferior team...

An inferior team starting a backup QB. Better come out swinging.

Re: Job one beat TAMPA

When we're mediocre we play to the level of our competition. When we're elite we crush inferior teams.

We're gonna have 2 litmus tests back to back. On paper we're close to elite, but that ain't where the games are played.

Re: Job one beat TAMPA

If I recall reading correctly, the Saints open as the biggest favorite for week #1 (10.5). We should win, however how close this game will be is anyone's guess. Saints run D is my biggest concern thus far. We shall see.

Footnote - Josh Robinson (Bucs S/T Ace) was cut earlier this month. This could be something to keep an eye on too.

Ditto. I dont put too much stock in our vanilla preseason D, but stopping the run is an attitude. Our 1s & 2s didn't show that attitude.

We gonna see, though, if our DTs take a step forward this year & the coaches put the right LB combos on the field.

Just don't play down to the competition. That is how we lose to Tampa. We need to thump them without showing all our cards.

We should win, unless Payton randomly cuts Brees or something.
