Saints are 3 point favorites this Sunday do you agree?

To be fair, we've played them twice since 09...2010 week 12, lost 30-27...2012 week 16, lost 34-31... I agree with the post stating we
shouldn't compare year to year.

We played them last year too, though with the beating we took I don't blame you for blocking it from memory

I know man...but thanks for describing that nightmare in detail for me to remember. Ugh.

But again last year, Most games are not blowouts we have played some tight games with the Saints but people are pointing to last years game as if it has any bearing on this one. It doesn't. Saints have their own problems they are 1-2 and teams they played Falcons, look good but Minn and Cleveland give me a break yet people are acting as if there is no chance.

Yeah that's sounds about right.
Sexy Rexy's evil twin Robby will have his D ready. Hopefully flying so high they crash and burn.

Sadly, I agree. Only way Dallas wins is if they have a 2/1 edge in TOP AND get a defensive or special team TD. Dallas can't handle a decent TE, and they face the best one in the league this week. They got chewed up by Austin Freaking Davis, so I don't see how Brees doesn't dismantle the Dallas D. I think it will be relatively close at the half (e.g., 24-17), but then New Orleans pulls away in the 2nd en route to a 45-30 win.

I'm with you, for the reasons you cite.

We have not had time to gel on D, and we'll still be missing some key players. I'd be pleasantly stunned if we have a chance to win at game's end.

I have a bad feeling about this one, hope I´m wrong.

I expect the Saints to be the favor coming into this game.

Indeed. Plus worse case we won't win if we can't stop Gram best case we win in a shootout. I hope we are ready for the challenge because the Saints can stress the hell out of a D.

To an extent, last year they held Graham to 5 catches 59 yards no TD, it was Colston and Stills along with 147 yard from Ingram rushing the ball that did us in. Dallas can't lock into 1 when NO has other very talented players. You may slow Graham as they did last time but got their butts kicked by the others.

Pro: The Saints are a poor road team.
Con: On Sunday Jerryworld will likely be transformed into the Superdome West.
Conclusion: Take New Orleans giving 3.

True but last year was last year. WRs haven't done much against us "This" season. We are constantly getting killed by TEs. The only thing I like about that cheater in New England is his ability to cover up the weakness of his D. If Bellicheat was getting exploited by TEs he will double, triple team and make the OC go to something else, which often times screws with the OC's game plan while affecting the players because they have to execute on something offscript/game plan.

I just think Cowboys have to be mindful that while stopping Graham is important we can't focus so much on him that we get beat by others. NO has very talented players outside of Graham and I expect to see Dallas use different combo's though out the game to contain him. Clearly Brees is the type of QB who will say fine take that away I will attack you some where else.
