Predict the Score: Saints vs Pats

hitta · 11-27-2009, 09:58 PM

Saints have a lot had a lot of injuries over the past few weeks, which has let bad teams score on us. The offense looked much more together last week even though it was the Bucs. I'd like to see the Saints establish the run game early on dictate the entire game, opening up big holes in the secondary for play-action. Would love to see Bush get touches to spread them out. You start getting them holes down field and Drew will light up their secondary. Big Sed being back will allow us to have much more success in stopping the run, giving more opportunities to use Brady as a trampoline and be more aggressive in getting pressure from the sides. I don't see this being a super high scoring game (like 45-40 or something like that). Probably low 30s, as the Saints balance is what makes them so hard to stop and keep up with. 34-24 Saints in a game that the Saints control the whole way through. The secondary will shine in this game.

It will be a fun game. The Pats will score points. It is what they do. Unfortunately for them so do the Saints.

Saints 35
Patriots 31

38-34 Pats

I really want us to win but if we lost, I'd rather us get blown out. It would slap us in the face, keep us grounded, make us work harder, and put everything in perspective. We're bound to lose a game or two... and I rather lose early and get red hot towards the end of the season.

Alrighty .. .any final revisions or change of heart? NOT!

Saints impose their will and roll over the Pats!

I'm using my daughter's basketball score from last week - Saints over Pats 26-2. Still unsure if the Pats safety is a miscue on the Saints part or a 4th quarter defensive precaution.

I'm sticking with my original assessment at the beginning of the season. The Pats will win this one, and it will only get close in the 4th quarter. Brees has had a problem with turnovers. He's shooting the ball at the numbers instead of hitting the receivers' eyes, which have caused deflections and ints. He's also going to get a steady dose of alternating zone blitz and 8 DB's. He'd better know when to hand it off and which direction to run.
