Well since I'm the one that threw this turd in the punchbowl, I'll answer.

Do we have the talent to beat the living #%#@% out of the Titans? Sure!
Problem is that this is the type of game we struggle with at times.

See 2011 at Tampa Bay. See most other road games we SHOULD win that are outdoors.

What I mean is that I sure hope the players and coaches take this SERIOUSLY. Hebert piled on my thoughts by saying this would be the toughest regular season game we have left and I totally agree.

The most encouraging thing about this whole scenario is that the Titans are 7-5 and fighting for something. If they were 4-8 we would be totally screwed...

I think we should play more of a base Dfense with less man to man and pick our shots with the blitzes. Harper will do fine knowing he has help and he can be more aggressive. THEY WILL NOT STOP OUR OFFENSE!!!!
Run first to set up the Pass.

Everything I'm hearing from everyone sure does remind me of the week right before the Rams game.

This has upset written all over it in big fat red bold font.

This game will determine if the Saints learned from the Rams game and if they are truly ready for a playoff run.

I think the circumstances of the Rams game were a lot different. I think our defense is exactly as it's been for some time. Our offensive playcall and o-line play in that game really hurt.

We were playing in a dome on turf and should have racked up tons of yards.

I agree we play poorly on the road, but I think this game is a good test of playing outdoors and in the elements. Run game is going to be key.

Key test for our defense as the Titans run a LOT!
