The O is capable of scoring high pionts( Carolina game) but to think we score 40 ppg each and every game I don't see it happening. 5-11 to 6-10 I'm still sticking with.

I understand where you're coming from. I am looking at the D the last two weeks and they have let up 20 points and 13 points respectively and less than 400 yards both times. Now you're right, that was against two offenses that are not tops in the league (if memory serves me right). In the past we would let up 500 yards to anyone, Eagles game last season when their O was struggling hard.

That said, I understand where you're coming from and I understand the wait and see approach. I know at the end of the day you're not going to be upset if we do well, you're just offering an honest assessment!

The 49ers are pretty terrible. That much we know. But it's a road game, and the Saints just don't play well on the road under any circumstances. They only manage to win on the road against really bad teams, when they win them at all, and even in those games I don't remember off hand the last time I came away feeling good about the performance.

So I don't take this game for granted, and hopefully the team won't. I'm really hoping to see them get fired up and ready to finally shake the road woes off.

The defense has looked better, maybe the competition, maybe not.
Frisco is looking to bounce back and salivating because they see us coming.
They have loss 6 in a row and coming off a bye week with the home crowd.
Once again, if we hold them to 20, we win.
They have averaged about 20, and are giving up 30.
If we can't get out of there with this victory, it would be very telling.
I don't think we would have any trouble putting up 30, my concern is holding
them to their average 20.

Defense is only going to get better.
Rankins
DB40
Moore
All should be back this week. That's yugeee. Still need to see how the injuries effect their performance but signs are pointing in the right direction, just might be to little to late.

One thing I do know. Saints are great at getting back to 4-4. The problem is continuing to perform after that.

Philly, MN & GB suddenly don't appear to be world beaters as analyst thought. ATL is still very suspect on defense too.

I like our chances second half of the season.

WillMacKenzie · 11-01-2016, 09:42 AM

12-4. I'd rather come on late than early.

Beastmode · 11-01-2016, 09:53 AM

Have to roll with Hightower. Use Ingram like the Pats use James White. Hightower is also a better blocker. A lot better. If we go that route I could see things starting to change. I love watching how the Pats use Blount and White. Power and agility, really keeps teams guessing and both players have to be accounted for at all times.

I am hosting a large party after our Battleship rugby tournament and for a change The Saints are playing the late game. I'll be grilling while the boys are playing......Sweet! Rugby in the morning and Saints football in the afternoon with 40-60 close rugby friends. I'm feeling blessed win or lose......hopefully we win.
