I'll give the Midgets....uh, Giants their due. But when game time starts, it's time to put up or shut up.

HAa. HAa.
right you are

Going to go sit in front of the Dome this week with a sign for this game that says...

Come on in, sign the waiting list and have a seat.
Swift kicks in the @$$ for $1.00
and some fans "NEED" what I’m selling.

Don't look confused starching your head
Yes! That's right...
You know who you are.

Some of us who have to suffer in the northeast with all this G-men crapola don't see anything out of the ordinary here. They talk down the next opponent simply because it's not NEW YORK GIANTS YEAH BABY.

They've got a lot of injuries and a lot of inexperienced players playing key roles. Now, I'm not saying that these fill-ins aren't good, because they are, but they've been unusually productive because the last 3 teams the Gints played couldn't find their privates with both hands on them.

Every week is different, and every game plan depends of discipline and execution. Neither team is perfect. The winner will be the one that most often gets to the leverage spot on the field for each play. That entails making the opposition do the things it is worst at.

For the Saints, it must force the Giants to:

Move Eli left and backwards in passing situations.
Run to the edges.
have longer than 3rd and 3
Defend with corners and safeties rather than LBs
Defend Shockey man-man
Blitz.

For the Giants against the Saints:
Only allow the Saints to run inside.
Only allow the underneath pass routes.
Play gap repsonsibility for runs.
Don't overrun Brees in the pocket.
Force the RB (Bush, Bell, Thomas) to hold their blocks in the backfield to give fewer options in passing situations.
Run wide and force the depleted Saints line to tire.
Pass to TE's out of the heavy formation to get mismatches.
Bubble screens and cutback runs to counter Saints' defensive speed.
Overload left side of Saints line for obvious mismatches.

The Saints are adaptable this year and will do what it takes to win this game. I have been saying all along that we need some respect from the likes of teams and fans like these. Most of the fans here know Eli and the Giants and will give them that type of respect. After this Sunday we will see that from the other side. Some people are all Bravado and like trash talk. They can say what they want but the Giant's players and the coaches know without some luck and great play they could easily be limping back to NYC with some pain and regret.

After two average games by Drew, the Giants defense are in for a hurtin'. That's all I have to say.

I agree. Expect a 300 yrd+ game for Drew.

This is not surprising to me. Some of the members are intelligent, and some are not. I love how we do not pass the smell test because of the teams we have won against: GINATS FANS, ARE YOU F'IN KIDDING ME!!!!!?

They are a very good team, and they have a very good defense. This is the toughest team we have played, and may play all year. No doubt. The Saints are the toughest team they have played so....

I guess we'll all know on Sunday if the Saint's are as good as we think they are!!!!!
G -Men are a playoff caliber team and Super Bowl Champion!!!

We as Saint's really can't say that I hope after this year we can.
