I HAVE A FUNNY FEELING THAT WE BEAT THE VIKINGS.

BakoSaint · 11-08-2023, 02:31 PM

I have a funny feeling that all our remaining games except against the Lions are basically 50/50. You can argue for a 60-70% chance against the Giants and Panthers or a 30-40% chance against the Bucs who laid a beating us on us previously, but basically we are a mediocre team with a history of playing down to our opponents who only has 1 strong opponent left on the schedule. We are well positioned to win the division at this point but we have yet to show anything that will strike fear in our playoff opponents if their starting QB is playing.

I’m not feeling super confident. We still lack consistency and I think Dobbs is going to run all over us and keep drives alive.

Idk. I sure hope we come away with a W but I’m keeping my expectations low on this team for now. That way I don’t want to drink myself into a coma during or after a game.

I hope we get the win. I think it will a tough, close game in a hostile environment!

The key things IMO, no stupid penalties, can't afford to give them free yards.

Coaches need to scheme up some decent plays on offence! Mmmmm! Not sure if that will happen though?

Defence need to make the tackles!

Be nice if we can get the running game going and wear down the defence!

GEAUX SAINTS!!! . . . . .WHO DAT!!!!

So last week Jimmy G didn't play vs Bears, on yesterday's injury report he had a "rest" day/limited practice.

Not to mention they don't even target him in the red zone.

Saints could have used that roster spot on DT/OL or special teamer. You know, .. a contributor.

Jimmy G and Ramz have been getting Wed "rest" days each week this season. No nothing unusual there.

The lack of usage is the question. A healthy scratch 2 straight weeks. Inept OC?

Or maybe the Saints simply signed him for nostalgia

.

Maybe, just maybe Dennis Allen & Pete C don't have a clue.

It looks like he's basically insurance in case a TE goes down at this point. Remember, he was cheap. Vet minimum is a decent price.

that funny feeling is the result of euphoria from the adrenaline caused by the recent victories.

The recent victories barely inspired any adrenaline. It’s caffeine, aspirin and nicotine.
