I agree 100%. A win Sunday and the Saints will be in the thick of the wildcard chase!!

I am hoping for the best but expecting the worst Sunday against the bird droppings.

If the Saints offense plays like they did Monday night; that will take a lot of pressure off of the defense.

It will be crucial for the Saints defense to TACKLE, and not take bad angles!!

It's not the angles, the angles they take are almost spot on, but instead of taking an extra two steps and wrapping up, they are coming in at that angle and diving at ankles!!!! AHHHH!!!!!

Maybe they should attempt to wrap up the ball carrier. In rugby there's a law that says you must tackle with the arms and shoulders.
