Hello Saints fans

I'm a Dallas Cowboys fan (that's the part where you scoff, roll your eyes, or express some other emotion of disgust, pity and contempt). I come mostly in peace, caffeine and confusion, but those last two are normal.

I'm betting NBC is regretting scheduling this one, lmao. #WeeDenBoyz vs the Brees-less Saints? Or they're Breesy, I don't know yet. Is Brees playing? Will that all too familiar Cool-Brees flow through the roofed Merc-dome? Will it be healthy if it does? Or is McCown going to simply a better option at this point because of health? He does have a commercial.

I would love to proclaim that Dallas has the advantage in this game, but we simply do not know. Our coaches are familiar with fatter Ryan, so that helps. But then again, if Smokin Weeden doesn't throw the ball more than four yards, Flabbio will shut down our offense the way ATL did last week.

I don't know whether to be terribly afraid of your offense or not. Brees playing, and playing healthy, will be a determining factor. It also depends how our Jekyll and Hyde defense performs; 85 Bears or 2013 Dallas Cowboys (terrible flashbacks occur), there is no in between. Oh no, we don't switch that up between games. We switch it up between quarters and individual drives too. Gangsta Garrett and Marinelli keeping things fresh.

Watch out for Lance Dunbar and Cole Beasley. I don't know what is up with Terrance Williams right now, our #1 WR, but Romo-less, Dez-less Williams isn't so great. Dunbar and Beasley will catch a lot of underneath passes, because The Crimson Cannon can check-down with the best of them. Also watch out for Gavin "Pablo" Escobar, our big, athletic, mis-match nightmare TE who catches everything that comes his way and never really does anything.

So now, if you will be so kind as to enlighten me, tell me something about the Saints I don't know. Who is an unknown player I should watch out for, one that doesn't make the highlight reel every week? How do you envision the Big Lebowski slowing down the 102 RAT Weeden? And how will your offense attack our, well, whatever we trot out on the field Sunday night?

Good Luck, New Orleans. Here's to an entertaining, legendary game no matter the outcome.

Re: Hello Saints fans

Thanks for Fatter Ryan, at least your Boss knew enough to send him packing.

Re: Hello Saints fans

It's gonna be the best game of the year, NFC Championship game preview, with unknown players. Saints are on the way to running off 16 straight wins, but are focused on each week only. These 1st 3 games were part of the strategy, to get back to underdog status. Ryan will pump the defense up these week, KV will return to rookie impact mode, Cam Jordan will get 2 sacks this Sunday, and Brees will throw 5 TDs, probably 4 on screen plays and Willie Snead or Morgan with a deep TD. Hell Ingram will join in on the fun and make it through a hole and run for 120 and a score. Yeah that's how its plays out. 42-21!!! I can dream :)

Re: Hello Saints fans

After the game last week I traded for Dunbar on Madden. He tore it up. Marcus Murphy (if we actullay use him) is very similar in skill to Darren Sproles. Not sure about his blocking though. I expect the Cowboys O-Line to dominate our D-Line so, unless Weeden throws a couple of INTs, our D will be gassed by the second half and we all know how that goes. Hopefully the Saints offense will get into rhythm and score in the red zone. The only reciever we have that can take it to the house is Cooks. Trading Stills away was a bad move.

Re: Hello Saints fans

An honest Cowboy fan.
A rare specimen indeed.
At least the Cowboys have a few things they can point to and say "I like that!"
We, on the other hand, are scraping the bottom of the barrel and still nothing.
Week to week, we don't have a clue what they are trying to do.
Maybe this will be our week where we find ourselves.
I am actually making the trip on this one.
Hope that's exactly what we've been needing.

Stills is #4 on the depth chart down in Miami. Not exactly lighting it up down in South Beach.

Re: Hello Saints fans

Jimmy Graham...same thing.
