The rest of the regular season
 

The Saints last 6 games are:

Home against the failclowns

@ Dallas

@ Bucs

@ Panthers

Home against Steelers

Home against Panthers

The only 2 games that worry me is the road game against Carolina (outside in mid-December) & the Steeler game.

Re: The rest of the regular season
 

Rams have more.chances to lose than the Saints do.

Re: The rest of the regular season
 

Steelers as bothered me for a few weeks now, and potentialy seeing the Bears in the playoffs.

Re: The rest of the regular season
 

Falcons will bring their A game. They always do against us. I still think Saints will win, but it may be close.

We should kill Dallas, but it could be one of those trap games.

I think we'll crush the Bucs this time.

Panthers games are going to be tough and crucial, since they are closest to us in the division. If we take 1 of the 2 we'll be ok.

Steelers are always tough, but at least its in the dome. I think we win by 3.

Re: The rest of the regular season
 

Steelers and both Panthers games will be tough games. I'm slightly worried about this falcons game. We always play close games and it's our first Thursday game of the season. I wouldnt be shocked if we start a lil slow due to the quick turn around. Either way I still see us winning.

Re: The rest of the regular season
 

Carolina worries me. Other than that it’s the Bears.

Re: The rest of the regular season
 

Atlanta - our roster and coaching is too much for them. We'd have to turn the ball over multiple times to lose.

Carolina - Norv Turner's offense won't be enough to keep up. And I can't wait to hear Cam Jordan troll Cam Newton for three weeks..

Bucs - payback's a mutha

Dallas - see Atlanta

Pittsburgh - I see a shootout here. It's a coin flip IMO

Re: The rest of the regular season
 

I'm glad we're playing the Steelers at Home. Carolina on the road could be tough

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.

The post was about the rest of the regular season.

Re: The rest of the regular season
 

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.

Re: The rest of the regular season
 

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.

Re: The rest of the regular season
 

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

Re: The rest of the regular season
 

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

Re: The rest of the regular season
 

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!

Re: The rest of the regular season
 

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.

Re: The rest of the regular season
 

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

Re: The rest of the regular season
 

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

Re: The rest of the regular season
 

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.

Re: The rest of the regular season
 

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.

Re: The rest of the regular season
 

A lot of folks underestimating the cowboys. We forget the 09 season already. This is shaping up to be some deja vu. I guarantee we are gonna hear the commentary like we did 09 that it’s not about how good we were all season long and how bad the cowboys were but it’s about who is hot going into the playoffs. Everyone will be all over the Cowboys jock.

Re: The rest of the regular season
 

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.

Re: The rest of the regular season
 

Don't see it boss. 2018 Saints team is on a mission. The focus, the will, hunger, the desire to be great on every possession. A great O line that prepares every week. Dak, Zeke & Amari Cooper won't be enough.

More importantly, this defense (since bringing in Eli Apple) has turned a corner.

Tied for 1 - INT's.
Tied for 5 - scoring defense (19 ppg)
16th in total defense (huge improvement over the last 4 weeks).
3rd in takeaways (8).

Re: The rest of the regular season
 

The last two or so times we've played the Steelers at home, the Dome has been over run with Steelers fans with the towels. That team's fan base travels very well. It might be because the towel waving makes them more visible and noticeable, but I feel like the Steelers the last few times they've played in the Dome, were probably the biggest number of opposing fans I've ever seen actually in the Dome at a game. Being that this year's game is so close to Christmas, it worries me that a lot of Steelers fans up north might say, "hey, road trip, let's do Christmas in New Orleans and party on Bourbon street!" and a lot of regular ordinary local Saints fans with family, church and social obligations may not be able to make the game, and will opt to sell their tickets. Christmas is actually a big tourism weekend in this town, and if you have a big family with a lot of family stuff to do, I can see how it can be hard to make time for a game, right before Christmas like that. I could kind of see it happening, it might be tough for some people to make it.

I hope the Dome is loud and raucous for the Steelers game. I remember the famous Saints Halloween night game in the Dome in 2010 was seriously almost 50/50 split between each fan base, it was almost like a bowl game with an even number of fans for each team. Because it turned out, a lot of people with little kids had to do trick or treating with their kids that night. I do remember an amazing goal line stand from the Saints defense that night.

Re: The rest of the regular season
 

Agree. If the D-line can take away Elliot like they took away Gurley....Prescott is no Goff.

Re: The rest of the regular season
 

Re: The rest of the regular season
 

"Who is hot going into the playoffs?"
I respectfully disagree, sir. I seem to remember a team losing their last 3 regular season games and going on to win the Super Bowl.

Re: The rest of the regular season
 

We should have Davenport and Armstead back for the Steelers.

Re: The rest of the regular season
 

I think Davenport could be slightly ahead of schedule.

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

Re: The rest of the regular season
 

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

Re: The rest of the regular season
 

I respectfully disagree, sir. I seem to remember a team losing their last 3 regular season games and going on to win the Super Bowl. Which had never happened before. Don't forget the defeats at the hands of the previous years Super Bowl winners! The Saints were the first Super Bowl winning team to win 10 games the following season!

Re: The rest of the regular season
 

You lost me there.

Re: The rest of the regular season
 

I was wrong about the following years record thing. I'm old, what can I say? lol

Re: The rest of the regular season
 

Not as old as me, I'll bet.

Edit: I take that back. You beat me out checking your profile. Congrats!

Re: The rest of the regular season

Re: The rest of the regular season
 

The Saints have won two of three during the Payton/Brees era and three of the last four.
