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

xan · 09-15-2016, 07:30 AM

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?

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

Great snapshot, Major...

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