Featured Discussion 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!

Very Very tough game

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.

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

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

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