Re: You Like Numbers?
If we win all home games and split the remaining road games, we still end up 11-5 and in the post-season. And outside of carolina (totally surprised and still undecided about them so far), I don't think any NFC team is going to do much better than that.
We are scoring more points per game than any team in the league and on the road at that. If the D tightens up, it's all good. |

Re: You Like Numbers?
NE: 2 Road games...loss @ a good MIA team and were +1 and win @ a Peterson-less MIN team w/Cassell's 4 INTs.
PIT: 1 Home/1 Away...@ BAL with -3 in a blowout 26-6 loss and home vs CLE with -1 and a last minute FG to win. Us? @ ATL -- End Zone INT plus fumble at our own 35-ish yard line in Overtime. Lose by 3 w/FG in overtime. 6-10 point swing on 2 plays. @ CLE -- Pick 6 in a 2 point loss and we forced ZERO turnovers. I'll clarify then...inopportune turnovers are beating us on the road in close games. Those 3 aforementioned turnovers hold way more weight than a INT w/o a significant return around midfield in the 2nd quarter and we're up by 10-14 points against a team with a subpar defense. Make sense? |

Re: You Like Numbers?
Number of key players lost by our upcoming opponents -- 2. If our opponents keep losing their best players to character flaws and resulting prison terms -- this season could become a cake walk.
Mostly kidding -- but -- at this point all good news is relevant. |

Re: You Like Numbers?
I'll give you a good number
Since Terron Armstead took over at LT from Charles Brown in week 16 (6 games) the Saints have averaged 138ypg in rushing. That includes games against Panthers, Seahawks, Tampa and the eagles. All of whom had a top 15 run defense |

Bad numbers:
ATL 47 yards in 1:10 to tie Clev 85 yards in 2:30 to kick winning FG and for good measure, 58 yards in 16 seconds at the end of the first half vs ATl for a 'meaningless' FG |
