Not going to be a pretty game vs. GI-aints
 

77 hours out from kickoff, the weather forecast is for severe thunderstorms associated with the remnants of the tropical storm that is currently pounding Cam Newton's Panties. 80% chance of rain, high winds.

What is the gameplan? How do we think it will affect the defense? Do we have a running game? Do we have a defensive line?

Re: Not going to be a pretty game vs. GI-aints
 

Weather reports SMH. It will probably be 65 and sunny.

Re: Not going to be a pretty game vs. GI-aints
 

No worries... we got Spiller..... oh wait!

Re: Not going to be a pretty game vs. GI-aints
 

Not gonna be pretty fellas. Their defense has improved with Snacks and Hankins making a tough duo to run on so don't expect much from Ingram. Our defense has possibly gotten worse since we played them last year thanks to the Breaux injury. Gonna take another Herculean effort from Drew.

Re: Not going to be a pretty game vs. GI-aints
 

I think the stiffer the wind the more chance we have and if it's raining will make the footing a little more difficult. Remember if not for one play our defense would've held Oakland to 92 yards rushing and we let Oakland score 25 points in 18 minutes after Breaux was a no geaux.

Heavy rain
Run Ingram and Hightower into the ground time snd time again. Kill the clock and keep the defense off the field

Re: Not going to be a pretty game vs. GI-aints
 

FWIW - Stats of Brees/Payton vs Giants:

2015 - 52-49 Saints
2012 - 52-27 Giants (No Payton)
2011 - 49-24 Saints
2009 - 48-27 Saints
2006 - 30-7 Saints

Brees sure hasn't had a problem lighting up the G-Men over the years. I'm sure NY fans are praying for heavy rain ;) .

Re: Not going to be a pretty game vs. GI-aints
 

I can see another really high scoring game.
My worry is not Brees putting up numbers but the numbers coming the other way and the potential for Brees to think/need to do too much. When he has been forced to be overly aggresive it can lead to turnovers. The good thing is now though he had receivers that will go and get the ball in Snead and Thomas.

Its simply going to boil down to the pressure that th dront 7 can get to not expose the front 7. If they can force Manning to just get rid he could easily put up 3 int's. Get enough pressure and we can win a shoot out. Dont and you are leaving inexpierenced backs exposed to Beckham/Cruz/Donell and Sterling

Re: Not going to be a pretty game vs. GI-aints
 

the weapons have changed but with the exception of 2009 and 2013, Brees has always had to carry this team on his shoulders due to a horrific defense

Re: Not going to be a pretty game vs. GI-aints
 

I agree with that.
Im more talking on the game when its been bad and the offense has failed and he has had to be very aggresive and its cause him to make silly picks. Its not criticism of him him as he has had to try and make something happen. Its the type of QB he is,they will be games of T.O

Saints vs. Giants last year - The BEST Arena Football game I ever saw!!!

Re: Not going to be a pretty game vs. GI-aints
 

Let it rain buckets. Our CBs need all the help they can get.

I actually think this would be good for the Saints. Our offense would of done fine during Hurricane Katrina. Our defense is always a step behind so this may help them catch up. Eli is no where near as accurate as Brees.

The Giants have the WRs to kill us. They will be a test for our Oline too. Our DBs better be saying their prayers.

I'm kind of hoping for rain as well. If it does, give em a heavy dose of Ingram/Hightower.

We have the most prolific passing attack in the league, however we can't stop it x(.

Re: Not going to be a pretty game vs. GI-aints
 

All I know is that what ever running backs I have that are playing vs. the Saints in fantasy... I AM STARTING.

Saints LB Dannell Ellerbe (quad) observed on practice field Thursday | NOLA.com

Don't look for Mr. Ellerbe on Sunday.

Re: Not going to be a pretty game vs. GI-aints
 

I'm putting money on any WR/QB combo that faces the saints, at least I can get something back for the defense playing like crap.

Re: Not going to be a pretty game vs. GI-aints
 

I believe the wins were at home and the loss was on the road; just sayin'.

Re: Not going to be a pretty game vs. GI-aints
 

Great snapshot, Major...

And I'd point out after having played in muck that offense has the advantage...

Re: Not going to be a pretty game vs. GI-aints
 

Sadly, I never do expect much from Ingram, nor do I usually get much from him either. I think this is Tim Hightower's time to shine. Sadly, coach Payton can't spell "Run The Ball". Hasn't been able to for what 12 years now? Oh, and honest to God, I just don't know what the heck we have to do to get somebody, anybody worth a damn on that D-Line. We've got a bunch of mediocre to underachievers all across that line and that includes Jourdan. I mean Fairley looks good but that's it friends and he can't do it all by himself. Dennis Allen who I don't think is anything but a DB coach is gonna need to be very and I mean VERY creative with some contingency blitz packages for this game. Who knows, maybe the whether just might help the Saints this week.

Re: Not going to be a pretty game vs. GI-aints
 

Think you are being harsh on Ingram he has averaged 4.5 ypc the last three years
