I understand that, but don't forget how they completely turned it around last year. It can be done.

It can, especially because a lot of it seems to be confusion and communication

Exactly! The talent is absolutely there. It has always been said that the most important factor to a successful secondary is communication. Complexity can lead to a lack of communication. Every player has to be on exactly the same page or it makes all of them look bad. It's not always the fault of the defender that's chasing the wide open opponent down the field.

Giants vs. Saints: First look at Sunday’s matchup

A shootout. That is what we have come to expect when the New York Giants and the New Orleans Saints play each other. The last time the teams met, in 2016, was an aberration as the Giants eked out a 16-13 victory.

In four matchups prior to that dating back to 2009, one of the two teams always surpassed the 40-point mark, with the score twice getting into the 50s. The wildest was, of course, the Saints’ last-second 52-49 victory in 2015.

Will this one be another high-scoring affair?

Well, the Saints are second in the league in scoring at 34.7 points per game. Quarterback Drew Brees is completing an unbelievable 80.6 percent of his passes and is in the process of re-writing the NFL’s career passing record book.

The Giants haven’t scored 30 or more points in a game since the final game of Tom Coughlin’s career as the team’s coach — 37 games ago, including the playoff loss to the Green Bay Packers. The Giants, though, played their best offensive football in a long, long time in Sunday’s 27-22 victory the Houston Texans, sparking optimism that the 30-point streak will soon fall.

I’m just waiting on the defense’s complete turnaround; just like last year after week 2... Lattimore & Crawley need to step their game up! I also expect to see Davenport getting more snaps

Lattimore's game has picked up these last two weeks. The rest have definitely been lacking.

Are you trying to say 18-1... Again?

I'm finally going to be able to use this...

As of right now it is a possibility. I keep my hopes alive. There isn't a team in the league that the Saints cannot beat. I'll guarantee you that Drew Brees is planning on winning the next sixteen straight.
