Don’t know why all the mis match predictions . Look what happened last week . Didn’t have time to make adjustments when drew went down. Payton s a guru to adjust to pressures .It was game on. it could have be a field goal outcome. I’m hoping better play from our corners ,and it’s on fellas.

Week to week league brother.

The Saints will play much better today.

And no career exemplifies better than Carroll's that his success was based solely on the talent on his teams that bailed out his inept decision making culminating in calling a pass play from the one yard line...

Maybe Pete can serve up a win to the black in gold, wearing all white, with some bone-headed decision making - that would be just terrific right now...

Seattle also benefited from a lot of calls that went their way in 2013 and 2014. People love to say this about the Rams, but it's even worse for that Seahawks team. They got a ring out of it.

They were supposed to be the next dynasty, but the 2013 team struggled against crap teams and mainly won games cause of their defense. The Niners got screwed controversially in the NFCCG that year, but I didn't complain cause I hate the Niners more. In 2014 they by all means should've lost to Green Bay in the playoffs, then karma came back on them tenfold with the Russel Wilson INT as the final play.

Strange stuff happens at their stadium (like the fail mary INT being a TD for them) and they get away with a lot of stuff.

People can hate the Pats but for me; they prevented Seattle from becoming a dynasty, stopped Carolina in 2003, came back down 28-3 to beat Atlanta and recently stopped the Rams. That's good enough for me.

From what I’m hearing, we’re not going to change the way we do things. History would tell us that when you go to your backup QB you emphasize the run game more and simplify things. Reportedly, we’re planning on taking shots and still air it out.

If the Saints can execute effectively in all 3 phases, get off the field defensively on 3rd down ... we win.

Period.

Bump.

Offense didn't turn it over, Teddy didn't hurt us, AK played like AK (check)
Defense made key stops, created a turnover, turned it in to a score (check)
Special team (set the tone and scored a TD) check

When you win in all 3 phases of the game, the probability of defeating your opponent goes way up.
