Saints VS Cardinals
 
Just my take on the up coming game:

I am not worried about Arizona. Arizona in my opinion is a team that lost every tough game they had barring Last night against Green Bay.

In regular season they lost twice to San Francisco, once to Indy, once to Carolina (we pulled starters in our 1 loss to Carolina), once to Ten, Once to GB, They beat (2-14) Det by only 1 TD.

They have an easily rattled QB.
They are 28th in what we fear (Rushing).

As bad as our Defense has looked I still believe they would have preformed better than GB last night.
They average 25.8 points per game since week 14. Only 19.5 points per game with out last nights victory over GB.

They have allowed 27.2 PPG since week 14, and are coming into New Orleans to face the highest scoring Offense, most yardage gaining Offense in the league in regular season play.

We averaged 25.2 points per game in our last 5 games and 3 of those were losses.

What he ^ said! It all comes down to who has the biggest "want to." Here's hoping our guys are hungry enough to go for the win!

Warner was on fire yesterday. Still, I doubt our defense could have played worse.

Warner had wide open looks and next to no pressure all day. He was also given good field position on the turnovers and kick returns. Yes, he did take advantage of them, but he won't be seeing that same shoddy play this weekend.

Yep, middle of the field is key. Majority of Warners big plays were over the middle. 2 TD's to Doucet were right over the middle as well as the pass to Fitz where he ran over Woodson which could have been called pass interference. When we blitz Warner it will have to be safety or corner blitzes. Vilma has to stay home in the middle. If we keep Vilma home I see some batted balls that Sharper will pick.

Green Bay came in with the #2 rated defense in the NFC. They couldn't figure out how to stop them.
What makes you think we will do a lot better?

I guess we can't do much worse.

This is exactly what I was thinking yesterday. I thought for sure the Packers would start to realize this and keep the middle occupied. Of course, when you have the outside threats that the Cards have I guess a defense just has to pick its poison.

They figured out how to stop them 7 days before in week 17. Held them to 7 points. So was yesterday a fluke? Or was week 17 a fluke?

Cards had 187 yards on Week 17.

The only team I worry about is Dallas. I may actually be a Farv fan this weekend ;-)
