Re: Saints have never won after bye week under Payton
 

no doubt
the things this team has been able to do in the absence of the passing game so far has been very impressive

…and as far as the D is concerned…
man that is AWESOME to see them gang tackle again, get pressure on the QB, picking off the QB, and stopping the inside run far batter then they have in quite some time

I understand that when you have momentum it sucks getting the bye but I truly think they will come out of the gate on this one and play hard

Re: Saints have never won after bye week under Payton
 

The gang tackling is going to come in handy this week; neither Jacobs or Bradshaw go down with arm tackles. The new look defense will get its chance this week to show what they are made of. The bye week stat now swings in our favor...odds are we are now due for a post bye-week win. This Saints team is a different beast. If we win, it will be our ability to get the job done on both sides of the ball against one of the elite teams in the league. I WON'T EVEN GO DOWN THAT OTHER ROAD.
