I think Davenport could be slightly ahead of schedule.

Just in time to crush souls here in Arlington (Dallas) next week

We may have Davenport back as early as this week. He'll definitely be back for the Steelers.

No team worries me. Not the lambs, nor the panties, nor the Steelers, chiefs, Patriots or bears...and sure as hell not the clowns. This team imposes its will on the opponent, not the other way around. Those teams are worried about us, as they should be.

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.

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

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.

I agree with that. It isn't so much that I think it'll hurt us more than it'll hurt them, but more that the lack of time to gameplan creates uncertainty. I think there is a good chance we blow them out. It's just being a Thursday, there may be some wrinkle they throw at our defense that we didn't effectively gameplan for because of the short week. This league is tough. It's hard as hell with a whole week. Chop off a couple of days and it can really stress a team. I think it normally favors the home team. Chaos is still chaos though.

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