It is imperative that we start this game like we finished the Eagles game. We need to get ahead on points enough to make that young coach feel the need to pass. With Rankins out that two headed run game is gonna be a biatch to stop.

Yes, but one is really starting to become very good and stall worth has some potential

National media still hadn't learned much have they?

Especially after Indy & the Cowgirls were shutdown despite being the "OMG they will run effectively all over their opponent" heading into Sunday. That D line has been tops against the run since pre season.

The Rams won't be playing at home or the Cows this weekend & need to be concerned about Angram & Kamara.

- Kupp is out.
- Rankins is out.
- Anderson is a big upgrade at backup RB.
- Their secondary is healthier.
- The Saints OLine is less healthy.
- Suh, Donald, and their DLine is peaking.
- The Saints D is peaking.
- Smith, and Kirkwood have basically disappeared.
- The Saints secured Dome Field Advantage.

If you haven't already done so, revisit the Cow/Rams replay.

Lambs are below average on the back end. Peters won't be able to hold Thomas and/or Tre. They were giving 10-15 yard cushions to Cooper/Gallup all night. I expect the Saints to continue exploiting them even with Talib in the lineup. We didn't have Ted Ginn Jr 1st go around either.

I hope Sean P targets Marcus Peters again. Dude loves to talk. Get into his head, game over for him.

My take from last week games was that the teams that won were suppose to have won.

Re: 6 biggest changes since Rams and Saints last met

The best part of overcoming the sh***y vs Philly is that we most likely won't do it again. We were truly awful for the first 16 minutes and then absolutely dominated on both sides after that.
If we had not gotten so conservative on the second and third FG drives we would have won by 14
