I think believe we can.

Remember Oakland was up 17-0 in London before Tarek had that long special teams punt return and subsequent score that sparked the Bears come back.

Again if the Saints somehow get up a score or two on the Bears, Chase and/or Mitch could be in trouble. This will come as a shock to many around the league but the strength of the Saints is our DEFENSE and special teams.

BTW, Akiem Hicks is out so that is good news for PEAT

and Warford.

Can't wait.

Edit - if the Saints O line can bring their A game, we'll be in good shape. I'm not sure how good Oakland's offensive line is but rookie 1st rd Bama RB Josh Jacobs had over 100 yards rushing & a 4.4 ypc game vs the Bears.

Chase is capable of opening it up as I learned by my 2-TD performance of over-looked Allen Robinson on nearly all my FF teams...

Didn't realize Hicks was going to be out this long - good catch and excellent notation. Payton Critics won't have a glaring example of SP's personnel blunders to cite this week - good for us!
