The rest of the regular season

Saintsfan4ever · 11-20-2018, 12:16 AM

I don't see a team in the entire league that can beat the Saints the way they're playing right now. I believe the only team that can beat the Saints is the Saints.
I thought Guido was nuts with his "18-1" thread early in the season, but if the Saints play the next 6 games like they've played the last 4 then Guido's prediction is not only possible, it's damn likely.

I hate to give the Falcons any respect cause they deserve none, but this week actually scares me more than any other week left on the schedule except for the Steelers. The Falcons usually play us well cause it is a rivalry and we are playing them on a short week. If it was a normal week I wouldn't be worried at all, but missing the few days of prep can throw some uncertainty into the equation.

Lambs escaped tonight with a win. MVP wannabe Mahones committed too many turnovers. Bears will give some trouble to the Lambs.

Jones will be back plus they just picked up Bruce Irving who made plays against Dallas. It’s going to be tough just like all division games. Remember when we swept the Bucs the year they won the Sb. We should win but it may be close.
Silver lining in this Thursday game is that at least it’s a division team we are familiar with and successfully game planned for

If we lose 3 games we still hold the tie breaker of everyone over 5-5 except the Panthers until we beat them of course along with the Succaneers!

Can't predict anything because you don't know what happens between now and then.

If we stay healthy we could win as many as all of them, and if you forced me to choose then I'd say at worst we lose 2.

Rams might lose 1 game...they're frigan division is awful. They may lose at the Bears. I don't see them losing any other game

No frozen midwest states on the schedule..I like our odds to win out.

The Saints last 6 games are:

Home against the failclowns - Dome Game

@ Dallas - Dome Game

@ Bucs - Stadium South

@ Panthers - Stadium South

Home against Steelers - Dome Game

Home against Panthers - Dome Game

And Atlanta is playing with little pressure on them. Their season is basically done, and that is always a dangerous opponent. Would love to see a blowout, but this game concerns me as well.

The Falcons are also playing on a short week AND playing on the road, which is always tough, especially on a Thursday. Home teams are 8-3 on Thursdays this season with the Eagles over the Giants, Broncos over Cardinals and Eagles over Jags as the only road team wins.
