Pipe dream, yeah? When is the last time the Saints rushed for 250 yards?

250 is a bit much, but Miami did drop 153 rushing on them... They haven't shown the greatest run defense this year...

TM, I think you'll learn where your pass rush is this week. We've been
a rollercoaster in a lot of areas, but we consistenly keep Drew Brees upright. If you can (God forbid) get to Brees, you'll have something to hang your hat on.

Wade Phillips is a tried and tested D coordinator from hell, and you're going
to like the results.... Im hoping your defense doesnt "gell" this week.

And if Drew does happen to torch you, it does not mean your DB's are weak. He torches a lot of defensive backfields, using a blinding assortment of receivers. If you've never heard of Pierre Thomas, you will Sunday. At some point, he will do something impressive.

All BS aside, our defense is, in my opinion a big ?. So if you run over us on the ground, you might be on to something, but I wouldnt make too much of it.

If I were laying odds, I'd have us -2 for home field advantage, and thats about it.
