Saints @ Rams Game Day Thread

Time for revenge!

After a rousing victory over the Houston Texans to start the 2019 season, the New Orleans Saints are traveling to Los Angeles to take on the Rams at LA Memorial Coliseum on Sunday afternoon.

The Week 2 matchup is the first meeting between the two teams since the infamous "no-call" during the NFC Conference Championship that helped the Rams advance to Super Bowl LIII.

EXPERT PREDICTIONS

Herbie Teope | Saints 27, Rams 24

The odds makers give a slight home-field advantage edge to the Rams in this showdown, but this is a game the Saints will want against a quality opponent. Forget about a revenge narrative because Sunday afternoon is about two Super Bowl-caliber teams squaring off for early NFC domination.

Amie Just | Saints 26, Rams 23

These two teams have the talent and the depth to make respective Super Bowl pushes again this season. Neither the Saints nor the Rams have forgotten about the NFC Championship game, but it's not stoking the fire in this matchup. This is all about two talented teams squaring up yet again.

Rod Walker | Rams 24, Saints 23

Don't be surprised if these two teams see each other again in the postseason. And a Super Bowl trip could be at stake again. But that's a few months down the road. This one should be close again, much like the overtime NFC championship game. With the Saints playing on a short week and having to make the long trip across the country, oh-so-slight edge to the home team.

DT Sheldon Rankins (Achilles) is out for the Saints. There aren’t any other players on their injury report.

The Rams are in even better shape as they didn’t give out any injury designations this week.

I hope we beat them whilst they are at their best, prove once and for all that they didnt deserve to be in the super Bowl.

On a more personal note, during the live chat I'm always a part of - I'm going to make a big effort to not be so pessimistic or negative. I always tell myself it shouldn't affect me, but when we start to play poorly, the overly passionate and overly critical side comes out.

Heres to a great game, I hope we drop 50 on them quite honestly.

That's the Spirit! Leave the national talking heads befuddled with no explanations other than how good our team is...

If it ramps up the noise about that BS no call, and the League Office's ineptitude and questioning their motives, actions - that's just lagniappe ...

Deal such a terrific coup de grâce, they don't recover mentally...

Onyemata returning. Gurley did not practice all week. That is not a good sign for them.

And if refs try that double penalty no call again.

We absolutely MUST get pressure in Goff’s face. I expect more of the NASCAR package with Hendrickson at DT and lots of DE stunts.

Who's most likely to be covered by Robey-Coleman today? I hope they eat his lunch. And oh yeah, Talib, we heard what you said, you don't get off that easily either. I hope Michael Thomas makes you look like a chump.

On another note: anyone have suggestions on a good dip or something for the game?

Saints D has to play better against the run. Gurley or not, Rams can not hang 140 yards on the ground like Texans did w/ backup RB's

They will. We are getting our starting DT back. There will be less of the NASCAR package. I doubt Gurley even takes it inside. The odds of him getting hurt are extremely high.

Jared Cook is a Rams killer. He was insane last year against them.
They can't double every one.

Keep an eye on that.

Precisely.

The guys up front must get there and disrupt plays. Once you do that, Goff is a different QB (see Bears games).

Pass defense must be better as well. Gotta find a way to get our D off the field on 3rd and long.

Let's get it :bng:

Cooper Kupp vs PJ Williams on 3rd downs is going to be very difficult for us.

On offense, Andrus Peat vs Aaron Donald - biggest match-up the Saints have to win today...

On defense, fresh Onyemata and Malcolm Brown must get in Goff's face, collapsing their front line of Notebloom-Allen-Blythe...

You know what? I just realized something. Malcom Brown was part of the Patriots team that shut down the Rams in the Super Bowl. Hope he’s spilled all the secrets.

Gap discipline and pressure. We need both today.

You're right about that, they do as much trap/zone blocking at our boys...

If Onye and Malcolm can collapse that line back about two yards, as good as Whitworth and Havenstein are, they'll get called for more holding trying to maintain deeper blocking arcs vs our ends...

Davenport physically is better suited in this matchup than Hendrickson, unless we can run some creative out and under stunts for him to use his speed...

My wife and daughter are both at work so I am without a car and no joke, I am about ready to leave the house and walk 4 miles to the nearest sports bar with DirecTV. I know where I stand but the question for all of you is are you all ready to sacrifice for the Who Dat nation?!
