I agree we will find out on Sunday but I do think we don't have a emotional leader on defense which we had with Vilma.

I disagree; you might have missed Lofton and Jordan on the sidelines getting "emotional" with the defense during the Rams game

We didn't get roughed up; we simply failed to make adjustments.

I guarantee you that if we had caught the with a screen or two for big yards, that would have slowed them down.

The Rams weren't playing for anything but pride, plus Fischer was butt hurt that Ryan bailed on them for the Saints.

The kittens will try to be aggressive, but if the Saints get up 7-10 points, they will curl up in the corner and purr like the good *****cats they are!

Jets, Seahawks, Rams. They all roughed us up.

And the screens? They looked predictable and easy to cover.

Our lack of preparation for STL is what killed us, NOT how the Rams played.

This team still needs to overcome playing good teams on the road.

Looks like the weather will be rainy and windy.

Which should favor the Saints! We should see a lot of runs and short passes.

They have the better run game then we do, I don't see that as a favor to us... We have the better screen game, but we have to keep Cam contained like the first game.

Good post Triman. You're right, the team that has the ***s will be the winner. If both teams come and plays balls to the wall it's a tossup.
