I think Blount has a knee injury, will find out more info tomorrow and McCoy is out with high ankle sprain

As a Saints fan, I have learned over the years to NEVER use the term "gimme game", but wow..... Will Tampa show up to play us or not?

I think we are going to get their absolute best game. They are home and losing this would be devastating for them. This will be a hard fought win

They are going to play hard,
1. they still know they are in the hunt
2. they just got embarrassed
3. divisional game against the division leader
it will be a tough game, no doubt

Buccs normally play the Saints tough so I could see this game going down to the last few minutes .... then again if SF can drop 40 on them, who knows what Drew could do, after being shell shocked like that, they will come out fighting so should be a good game

The real question is will the Saints defense show up???

If you thought the Carolina game got a bit testy, this could get fugly.

Yes, we dislike the Panthers.

We dislike the Bucs much more than the Panthers. Its not yet Falcon-hate, but its close.

If you like violent football, don't miss this one.

They may even take an "unsportman" or two to get themselves and the crowd fired up.
That can be squashed real easy by stacking up a few 7's.
They will pull out all the stops against us, as do all of our division opponents.
They got drilled Sunday and will want to take it out on us - if we let them.
Our defense needs to raise the bar, strap these guys; actually make the tackle when challenged.
Starting quick/early is not their queue to take a nap 3rd and 4th quarter,
then call on Brees to awaken so he can pull a rabbit out of the hat, AGAIN.
