They shouldn't be, but you never know. I'm seeing numerous posts about how we're gonna destroy them.

Hopefully the players have learned their lesson
If our D plays how they did last year, I'll be pretty confident
If they play how they did last week, I'll feel like calling it an 8-8 season at best

Re: Browns won't be a cake walk for the Saints
 

Yeah it is a must win but if we win at Pittsburgh week 13, then it could offset this if we lose. We have easier games after this week to even at 2-2 or go 3-1. Then we have the three game homestand weeks 10-12. If we do end up 0-2 I think we could really only lose to GB or Car before the home stretch. I think we win off the bye at Detroit and the bucs game is one to watch. If we win all three home games in that stretch we're 7-4 or 8-3 and we win in Pittsburgh and at home against Carolina we are 9-4 or 10-3. Then its basically Chicago and TB we'd need to win one at and we could be 11-5 or 12-4. Our games start off hard first two weeks then gets easier after the bye and in December our road games are against an older offense, a offense led by Cutler, and TB which will obviously be tough. Its not like Seattle and St.Louis last year.

But I'd feel better if we win tomorrow.

Doh and Bart

Re: Browns won't be a cake walk for the Saints
 

If last weeks defense shows up for the next 15 games, we can expect the same results as 2012; 7-9, 8-8...........

This team always finds a way to beat the clowns; now they found a way to lose to them. Sorry, having a difficult time w/ this loss.

I think many are posting an outcome that will make themselves happy and/or willing to feel as though everything is "right" with the team again.

Re: Browns won't be a cake walk for the Saints
 

I really look forward to this game, they are a heavy run team, our front 7 is going to be the key, they will be heavily tested today.We get to see if our run D is any good or not, they better man up and not play that finness crap or the front 7 will get their butts handed to them. On the O side we are better equiped but will need to go with a heavy run to tire out a very good D they have, the AFC is pretty much a heavy run conferance and unless we somehow get a couple strikes up on them they will continue to slug it our. Should be a good game, one our boys have to reach deep on.

Re: Browns won't be a cake walk for the Saints
 

Agreed, they're gonna try and run it right down our throats. I feel pretty good about that since our ILB's main weaknesses are more toward pass coverage.

With Vaccaro cheating up in the box, and I expect he will, we should be able to limit the damage.

They don't have a trio like Julio, Roddy and Douglas to force us to play safe. And while Matt Ryan isn't in the same league as Brady, Brees and Rodgers, he's significantly better than Brian Hoyer.

Re: Browns won't be a cake walk for the Saints
 

Agreed.

I would venture to say that we lost that type of game last week. Everyone was talking blow-out VS ATL, even the players were talking about them being little brother. Not much talking the worst defense in the NFL can do, hopefully these guys get the chip on the shoulder they need to ball-out.

Re: Browns won't be a cake walk for the Saints
 

And I wonder if we only barely beat the Browns, will the masses still be in panic mode?

I'm pretty certain that if we actually lose to them, it'll be standing room only on the ledge.
