4-4 and here is why
 

Saints defensive line is better than theirs. Saints offensive line is better than theirs.


Disclaimer: If the outcome of the game comes out as I predict(NO 31 Jax 13) I reserve the right to say I told you so.
However if by some act of nature or god the result goes the other way this was not a prediction or what I truly felt would happen just a statement saying this could happen.

Re: 4-4 and here is why
 

The Saints d-line is NOT better than the Jags d-line. Even if Stroud doesn't play their d-line is better. The Saints d-line is alright but the Jags have one of the best d-lines in the league. You can tell me you told me so but there is no way that the Saints d-line is better.The Saints o-line might be better though.

Either way, I hope to see a 4-4 Saints team at the end of the weekend.

i was waiting for this post... only i was hoping it was euphoria who started it

well anyways, i hope you're right and i would think he does too

stick together saints fans! we can learn from this team!

Re: 4-4 and here is why
 

A blow out against the Jags? I hope you are right about the 4-4 record, but I see this one being very close, and not a blow out by either team. I don't think the Saints are going to win this one, but I am holding out for hope that I am seriously wrong. The Saints should have a decent chance at winning if the Superdome gets cranked, if they play defense with 8 or maybe even 9 in the box, blitz the heck out of Gray, and hope all of this stops the run and forces Gray to throw the ball. A conventional front 7 by the Saints is going to get eaten alive by the Jags running game. Hopefully, Gary Gibbs knows this already...

Sunday will show us who has the dibbs on who is the best...at least on that day. Whoever minimizes the turnovers and controls the ball will win the game. The Saints need a couple of take-aways and have the special teams keep us in good field position. We can get it done but we will have to step it up a notch on the Jags: Karney leading the run and Thomas and Young clogging the middle and bouncing everything outside.

Re: 4-4 and here is why
 

This will be a hard fought game. Lets get out of this injury free. Remember they gave Indi all they could handle. Jack is back in the house and he will make sure his team is ready for us. We will find out if we are really back or not in this game. Low scoring affair in this one. 17 to 10. Turnovers determine the winner.

There is absolutely no reason to run a conventional front 7 against the Jags this week. Last week they ran the ball 44 times and threw for 100 yards. The Saints defense should crowd the line of scrimmage and choke up all the running lanes. As long as the Jags receivers do not get behind the secondary (which of course means that Fred "GameShow" Thomas cannot play) then all should be fine.

Ding Ding Ding!!! We have a winner. If the Saints' D can generate turnovers, then they can win. It's as simple as that. Get the Jags into 3rd and long and make QG throw it.

Re: 4-4 and here is why
 

It's always critical to get ahead early, but even more so in this game. They aren't going to throw the ball much. We need to take away their ability to run the ball by getting up by a couple touchdowns early.

Re: 4-4 and here is why
 

Now that's damn funny!

Re: 4-4 and here is why
 

The only way for the Saints to lose this game is if they fall victim to injury and hangover. Nothing is going Jax's way right now. This is not about individual matchups but the team proving they belong and taking advantage of a soft part of their schedule. All they have to do is Bring It.

Re: 4-4 and here is why
 

Do exactly what we've been doing the past 4 games. Stop the run and make them beat us deep. Contain Drew, Taylor, and Toefield... make Gray beat us.

Re: 4-4 and here is why
 

People stop getting ahead of ourselves, for some strange reason, the Saints do not play well in the Superdome, maybe the reason is so much sadness took place in the dome, I don't know. They haven't played well in the dome all year, though, I sure hope they win this Sundat.

Re: 4-4 and here is why
 

I really thought when the game was 34-17 I had a shot at calling this game pretty close. Good performance by the team and take away 2 plays they would not have nearly been that close to us. The Jags are a very good running team and we shut down that part of their offense. All things considered compare our passing game with any other team and we can compete. As long as Brees completes 70% and can stand behind this offensive line there is nothing wrong with throwing the ball 50 times a game.

Re: 4-4 and here is why
 

Well guys, I am totally glad to be wrong. The Saints are now 4-4 and did a great job at stopping the running game. Before the game, I did not think the Saints would win this one. I am now a believer that the high octane offense is back, and that the defense can definitely hold their own. This is a great win!!!

Re: 4-4 and here is why
 

Glad to see some people on this site can admit when they are wrong. Some of these BOLD PREDICTORS go into hiding for a few days after they are DEAD WRONG!!

And this is a Great Win....WEEE"RRR"EE BAAACCCK!


I'm still holding on to my 10 - 6 prediction.

Re: 4-4 and here is why
 

So I didn't get to see the game. Is the Saints d-line better than the Jaguars now? For years now the Jaguars d-line has been better than the Saints. I hope that the Saints are better. I'd love it. Is that what you guys saw?
