In my mind, that first game might as well have been last season. Things are that much different for both teams. I'm most worried though about our injuries. I would be supremely confident if we were healthy. As it is I'm calling it 27-24 Saints.

The thing I remember most from that first game was how Unger hadn't practiced durning the preseason and Armstead was out. Ramczyk started his first game in Armstead's spot. In the first quarter, Strief went down and Kelemete came in. As a result, the line play was terrible. It was easy to tell they had no cohesiveness, they weren't used to playing together yet. Brees had no time and there were no holes for the running backs. I suspect the line will play a heck of a lot better this go around. (unless someone gets hurt again)
