Re: Week 3 Saints vs Cardinals
 

That pick six was just incomprehensible. Watched it several times now - it's almost as if Brees thought Mason Foster was wearing a Saints jersey. Truly bizarre and very un-Brees-like.

Well we got a bigtime mulligan in Tampa. Hopefully we will crush Arizona as revenge for 2010. We have the 10th ranked defense now, btw.

I think it's possible that someone (either Graham or Pierre) may have run the wrong route and been in the totally wrong place. They showed a shot of Brees on the bench immediately afterward, talking to Payton, and he was making hand gestures with his hands, like cuts and shapes of routes, trying to tell Payton what happened, and he was really angry about something. Graham was going deep with his back turned, Pierre runs to the middle of the field and claps his hands ("I'm open!") but then Brees throws it to a spot where NO ONE is, that is almost precisely between the two of them. You're right, it's bizarre.

Then Pierre gets blindsided, plowed into and gets his clock cleaned while chasing after the runback of the interception, it's painful to watch. Ugh.

I think that spear he took earlier rattled him worse than we thought

Re: Week 3 Saints vs Cardinals
 

that was Tampa. This is 2--- Saints are 9 point favorites in the early lines!!

Re: Week 3 Saints vs Cardinals
 

Do not allow explosive returns by Arizona's return team and I think we win this game by double digits. If Arizona is in this game, their special teams will have been a big part of it.

I have to go with Papz... mainly just because he is usually right.

Re: Week 3 Saints vs Cardinals
 

The next four games until the bye week are all going to be tough. But you have to play the best along the way to be the best. Crossing my fingers, I am hoping we can escape to be 6 and Eaux!

Re: Week 3 Saints vs Cardinals
 

Honestly I do not see the Cards, Dolphins, Bears, or Pats as better than the Falcons.. The Falcons just have more offensive weapons. I see playing the Bears in Chicago as probably the tougher of the 4.

The Atlanta/Miami game this week will tell a lot about the Dolphins.
Arizona is squeaking by and Fiz is hurt

Chicago is squeaking by also having won two games by less than 3

By the time we get the Pat's they will have been hammered by Atlanta and Tampa bay...

Dolphins are the only team that are 1TD+ net on the season.

Re: Week 3 Saints vs Cardinals
 

If we can shut down the Run game of the Cards... I don't think Palmer can beat us... he will throw sum Ints if you give him time.... But ugh I guess I can't say nothin ... Brees... *cough* *cough*... ha But N the dome we should take care of business... Who Dat !

Re: Week 3 Saints vs Cardinals
 

The thing we have been doing really well through two games is getting pressure up top. We haven't necessarily looked like sack monsters but we are right up in the QB's face. Jordan and Hicks, for me, have been superb. That has made throwing into our secondary a much tougher feat. Jenkins and Harper look rejuvenated and Vaccaro is playing like a 1st round draft pick!

If our offence can get any semblance of a game going, especially if we get the run game going (probably through someone who is not Mark Ingram) then there is a very real chance that we could do some double digit damage in this one. Ball security is the key. No errant passes to Patrick Peterson!

Saints finally get rolling. 31-17.
