It's Thompon Retibution Not AP
 
I know, it's retribution but we ended his season last year. Almost forgot about it. He did not:



“Honestly, I know I’m going to have that feeling,” he added. “I had that feeling back in my senior year [at Florida State] against Wake Forest when I was coming off my back injury from the previous year. I was thinking about it leading up to the game, walking out of the tunnel, everything. That whole week, I didn’t talk to anybody. My coaches, my teammates, they all thought there was something wrong with me. But I was just that focused like, ‘I’m going to make this team pay.’ I ended up having like 200 yards in the first half.�

‘I’m going to make this team pay.’

YES BUT DID HE SAY IT WITH "HONOR"?

This team seems to have a chip on their shoulder. Won’t be easy. Time for our D to play a complete game. Actually it’s time for both sides to come together and play a complete game on all three phases. None of this I’ll suck this week and you suck the next.

It’s a good point Beastmode. Chris Thompson is really the only player on their offense that could give us some trouble. You could throw Jordan Reed into the conversation as well.

Their defense will be tough. They’re 3rd against the pass and 7th against the run. Of course, they played two impotent offenses in the Cardinals and the Colts.

So who would you rather face. Cousins or Smith?

I didn't know their D was that stout. This is not going to be easy. They don't have a high powered offense but, with a turnover or two, totally changes things.



A little worried about MI holding on to the rock. Would not be the first time he had the fumbles early on. Hope they start him out with some easy passes, swing or a screen first then ease him back into the run game after a TD or FG. I would not start running with him out the gate. Just would not do it.

Alex Smith is their QB. He torched us in the playoffs. I promise you he's better than Fitzmagic. They have weapons. I hope Ingram helps us keep the ball away from them cuz I dont trust our D yet. Im rhinkin we win though of course.

Alex Smith will try to extend plays on 3rd down...our achilles heel.

Brees will be under heavy duress — turnovers.

This game has trouble written all over it. Be prepared.

Good numbers for the Skins but this is their first "real" test this season. Angry Ingram, Kamara, Brees & Thomas in the dome will be a tall order for their D. I look for Demario to have another big game.

On the flip, Alex has weapons offensively & I have a lot of respect for him. Saints secondary (ranked 30th vs pass) must play well tonight if we expect to win.

For that reason (prior fumbles), I think we will see a balanced offensive running attack tonight & keep everyone fresh.

Football security is paramount.
