So you expect Darnold to be the next Brees?

Okay.

Seems like they let go of a couple LBs over the years that ended up being pretty good too. What were their names again 🤔

If you watch more than just the Saints when watching NFL football, the Saints are simply one of the most mercurial of teams...

Statistically, the Saints are one of the best teams against the spread as an underdog, not many in our league, but we're also one of the worst big favorites...

That is to say, we've a bad franchise history of playing down to the talent like Jabronies...

Don't want to be a jabronie, don't play down to the talent; steady consistent play, put it away by playing four quarters of solid, winning football...

Anything else, we give back our home-field advantage...

And don't tempt the football gods like the cheese heads did on Sunday or it's humble pie...

Looks like it’s still the C-Mac show. One dimensional. They got better with Darnold but their offensive line has had problems in the past when it comes to pass protection. He was hit like 9 times last week.

It's a divisional rival (anything can happen) but I hope we put up 40.

Yes, saw your comments on their site.

For those interested, here's the link to their thread.

Rhule is light years beyond Gase as a coach. That's not saying that Rhule is a surefire genius, it is just that Gase was that bad. If Darnold is to become a solid QB there's a better chance of it now.

One of the prized luxuries of being a fan is that we can take opponents anyway we like and it doesn't effect the game one bit.
