Re: I Think We Beat the Giants....
 

i'm gonna have to dissagree somewhat. i think we'll come out slinging the ball early to get some more points on the board early. look for this game to be similar to the gameplan against the eagles, who also had a good secondary.

i mean, really, how telling is the fact that they have the number 1 pass defense? thats due to two factors: 1. their pass rush. allow me to shut that down really quick. our pass protection has been stellar. the jets have a very blitz-heavy pass rush, and what'd they do?! NOTHING! plus, brees is one of the best in the league at avoiding the pass rush and extending the play. 2. their competition at qb. this one is easy, too. the jason campbell-led offense of the redskins has been OBISMAL, thus far. romo is a talented guy, but, a moron that makes idiotic mistakes (ie Aaron Brooks). for my arguments on the bucs and kansas city, please see the redskins.

so, like the eagles, we will come out throwning and looking to score, then we'll go to the run to kill the clock in the 2nd half. we will win this game in a similar fashion to that of the eagles game. we'll win by at least 14 points. then the whole league will know, this is the saints year!

I don't think our D is playing just yet to beat anyone. They are still getting use to the system and building that swagger. We also have slow starts after an off week.

Re: I Think We Beat the Giants....
 

once again we might be facing and offense that does not have a great QB if Eli is not able to go.

The real test is their DL. Can we keep Drew upright and open holes in this Monster

Re: I Think We Beat the Giants....
 

I would hate to see us show Eli the kind of love we gave Payton back in 06'. a record setting day for the home-boy coming home. I hope we stump a hole in Eli's bungalo. We will have to play well on both sides of the ball. A convincing 35-10 win would put the NFC target square on our 5-and-0 backs. We have shut down most of the premier backs that we've faced (LT, Peterson, ...), and that was with the "old look" defense. I think the offense gets back on track next week but I'm still concerned about that "pop you and hope you fall" tackling technique, it won't work on big Jake. What we do on defense will determine the outcome of this one. If we let them run the ball: 20-17...toss a coin for who will win. If we stop the run and MAKE them pass the ball: Saints win BIG!

Well I feel better now, FF. This game had me scared. Tell you what, if we win this, we are definitely for real.

Now that FF has eased my mind I'm gonna go out on a limb and pick:
Da Saints!

Re: I Think We Beat the Giants....
 

I will tell you all that I am petrified of Brandon Jacobs. If he gets 25 carries, the Saints are doomed. I know the Saints have been decent against the run, but this guy is an entire different beast. How in the world does a 270 pound man run a freaking 4.5/40? I also believe it's not exactly the best idea in the world to stack 10 in the box against Eli. Just asking for trouble...

Re: I Think We Beat the Giants....
 

Do yall think we will do better offensively against the Gmen than we did against the Jest.

Re: I Think We Beat the Giants....
 

If so, this will be the best team they will have best so far this season.
