This is the result when we don’t take care of our own business.

We usually kick into this gear ^^^ way later in the season… This is bad.

Since Vandy defeated Alabama, we certainly could defeat the Chiefs, but I don't think we will. The Chiefs are 4-0. They have been winning close games against good teams. Andy Reid has had 8 days to prepare. They have an excellent defense. He and Spags know the Saints can only attack the middle of the field as fast as Hill's broken ribs can heal and Hill is out this week, and our oline can't pass protect unless we establish the run, so if they can stop the run we won't pass protect and won't have time for our deep threats to go deep. I think thats the formula to stoppin the Saints offense and I dont think the Chiefs are the defense that can't execute it.

Since the Chiefs can probably execute a defense to shut down or slow our offense, we will either be face with a blowout or a close game. If its a close game, why would Mahomes be the one QB we can stop on 3rd down or in the 4th quarter? Realistically we have a lot of toss up games this year, but this is the toughest remaining on the schedule, and I don't think we win it.

Salient, and sobering. ^^^

Yeah I’m not getting my hopes up on this one. The last two games I felt like the Saints had a good chance of winning.

This one is against a good team and we have a new center and our starting guard is out. So is Taysom.

Of course I hope they win but I’m not counting on it. It looks more likely to be 2-3 than 3-2.

I try to be optimistic but at the same time I have to be realistic. It will take a miracle to win this game. However, miracles do happen and it is on a Monday night. So, you just never know what's going to happen.
