Saints @ 49ers Game Day Thread
 

For the second consecutive week, the New Orleans Saints will face a foe they used to know very well, as they travel to the Bay Area to take on a former NFC West rival in the San Francisco 49ers.

Unfortunately for the Saints, if one were to go by the linesmakers projections, this one could be a lot like those games of the 1970s, ’80s and ’90s when the Black and Gold were regular double-digit underdogs.

Many of those younger than 35 or so might be surprised when they learn this will be the 77th time in NFL history these two teams will meet, as they faced off twice per year from 1970 through 2001.

Although the series is lopsided in the 49ers’ favor, there have been many memorable games, which we will mention below, as well as the current spread, TV information, the referees for Sunday’s game, uniforms the two teams will wear and the starting quarterbacks’ stats and win totals against the other.

This one feels scary. Gotta stock up on extra cigs and aspirin for sure. With some good JUJU, and some surprise play-calling, might be a most pleasant upset! WHODAT!

Re: Saints @ 49ers Game Day Thread
 

Very Very tough game

Re: Saints @ 49ers Game Day Thread
 

Man if we’d have beat that horrible Steelers team a couple weeks ago, we’d be 5-6 right now instead of 4-7. What a terrible game to lay an egg.

Regardless, this 9er team is pretty good and our secondary has been suspect. If the Saints have any shot at all, they need to get some turnovers. I’m not gonna get my hopes up on this one.

Re: Saints @ 49ers Game Day Thread
 

I hear you... Still, I gotta do what I do - week after week, I ride this rollercoaster.

Re: Saints @ 49ers Game Day Thread
 

I feel the same way about the 49ers that my cat feels about squirt guns.

Re: Saints @ 49ers Game Day Thread
 

What kind of liquor do you put in your squirt guns? :bugeyes:

Re: Saints @ 49ers Game Day Thread
 

If the o line plays well- we got this.

Re: Saints @ 49ers Game Day Thread
 

The cost for that roller coaster ride adds up after a while. I know, just ask my liver.:bugeyes:

Re: Saints @ 49ers Game Day Thread
 

That’s no ****. Lol. Mine is thanking me today because I have to go pick my daughter up during game time. So no drinky for me. Lol.

Re: Saints @ 49ers Game Day Thread
 

I guess we're as healthy as we're going to be. Either we flex some muscle or we're wimps. If we're wimps, it's a shame because I still think this is one of the most talented teams in the NFL.... sans Coaching.

Re: Saints @ 49ers Game Day Thread
 

Anyone going to Santa Clara?

Re: Saints @ 49ers Game Day Thread
 

My in-laws are at the game!

Re: Saints @ 49ers Game Day Thread
 

Sweet! The Browns just beat Tampa Bay.

Re: Saints @ 49ers Game Day Thread
 

great

Re: Saints @ 49ers Game Day Thread
 

People gonna blame that on Allen too.

Re: Saints @ 49ers Game Day Thread
 

It’s it possible to completely get rid of a roster?

Re: Saints @ 49ers Game Day Thread
 

Yeah. Start pulling for another team.

Re: Saints @ 49ers Game Day Thread
 

AAAAAAAND YEAH. NO.

Re: Saints @ 49ers Game Day Thread
 

Lucky to hold them to 3 after that sheet

Re: Saints @ 49ers Game Day Thread
 

Just frustration coming out from seeing the same thing week after week. That would never happen.

I’ll be a fan until I die.

Re: Saints @ 49ers Game Day Thread
 

Is Dalton faster than Jameis scrambling?

Re: Saints @ 49ers Game Day Thread
 

Good try AD.

Re: Saints @ 49ers Game Day Thread
 

It's possible to get rid of a lot of a roster but you have to be willing to possibly lose a lot of games. Then again look at the Falcons, they got rid of a ton of dead weight in Matt Ryan, Julio Jones, Calvin Ridley, and Deion Jones and have a younger team with more draft picks and tons of cap space next year, and yet they are as/more competitive than us. The cap hits they took to get rid of Ryan and Jones cost them the opportunity to sign amazing players like Landry and Mathieu and forced them to try young mid round picks with upside, but sometimes that works better. I think that with good coaching we could do the right thing and use any cap flexibility we have to get rid of bad contracts not sign shaky vets like Landry and Mathieu, and still be surprisingly competitive. But if we allow ourselves to be ruled by fear like Loomis does, then we F the future and put everything toward keeping and acquiring questionable aging vets under the false premise that this is the only way we can 'win now.'

Re: Saints @ 49ers Game Day Thread
 

Glad they ran the play . That ball rolled out on Shaheed.

Re: Saints @ 49ers Game Day Thread
 

It was a joke…lol

Re: Saints @ 49ers Game Day Thread
 

I missed it and I’m on a poor feed. Who got hurt ?

Re: Saints @ 49ers Game Day Thread
 

A ruthless amount of holding on that play. Finally called.

Re: Saints @ 49ers Game Day Thread
 

49ers getting beat on the line so they either hold or Jimmy G is suddenly rushed.

Re: Saints @ 49ers Game Day Thread
 

Apart from fumble we’re playing well

Re: Saints @ 49ers Game Day Thread
 

PJ injured. Walked it off on sidelines.
Cam playing on right side of Dline. Wonder if it’s because of the eye.

Re: Saints @ 49ers Game Day Thread
 

actually looks more like incomplete than fumble.

Re: Saints @ 49ers Game Day Thread
 

and the refs chime in.

Re: Saints @ 49ers Game Day Thread
 

So I'm at the point where I don't know what a catch is anymore...

Re: Saints @ 49ers Game Day Thread
 

I think it's time for Alvin to cut the dreads because this is the 3rd team this season I've seen grab him by the dreadlocks.

Re: Saints @ 49ers Game Day Thread
 

that hurt

Re: Saints @ 49ers Game Day Thread
 

Depends upon who is playing

Re: Saints @ 49ers Game Day Thread
 

He had a faster 40 if I remember correctly.
