Zeke will have to work his butt off. If he gets shut down, its over.

Drew Brees would havecto have one of the worst games of his career. Probably a mknimum of 3 picks.

I just don't see it.

Our defense is looking better and better. While I predicted we lose to the Saints, and I still do, I’m starting to think it may be closer then I originally thought. Offense still needs to get better but their defense isn’t all that.

Pencil that one in the loss column. It would take a creative gameplan catered to only the Saints and I don't expect that from this staff.

Playing ball-control is best yet be aggressive at opportune times.......can't play not to lose against them. I don't think it will be a lopsided loss though, probably pretty close throughout.

Hmmm...seems like some have already put the Skins game in the "easy win" column.

The only way is for Jerry to flip the death switch on the side of the 60 yard monster scoreboard that removes the temperature safety control, thus roasting the Saints alive.

I don't mean this to be a rhetorical question.We get them in Big D, which does help only in the sense that they are scary good at the Superdome compared to beatable good on the road. Gotta play excellent D (which this team can do) and run run run with Zeke.

Everyone keeps talking about a win Thursday gets us a TIE in the NFCE. Great! Only problem is the 'Skins already got their L from the Saints. Philly too. Now, if by some miracle we can beat New Orleans, I'll be very happy to eat crow. But then you realize that a deep playoff run cannot happen w/o going through New Orleans. I'm happy today fellas, but like y'all my expectations are tempered.

Chloriform.......soak your gloves fellas. ;)

We just sustain drives.

We beat the saints the same way teams beat rodgers or brady. Control the ball, control the clock, finish drives. It takes their O out of rhythm and wears their d-line down

Put a bounty on Brees, if not we're just a punching bag

We play defense and we run the ball well so that right there gives us a chance.

Anyway I'm sick of the Saints. These ****ers on TV celebrating and interviewing every week like they already have this wrapped up and won a Super Bowl. There's plenty of football left and nothing will be easy for them even though they seem to think it is. They will hit a rough patch.

It’s less that and more the thinking that any discussion worth having about the playoffs going forward requires us to beat them. In other words, there’s nothing to talk about unless we assume a win over Washington.

If NO plays their best, NO wins.
If DAL plays their best, DAL has a puncher's chance, but it's still pretty unlikely.

I think we have a very slim chance to win but the NFL is funny like that. Still a long way to go. No one gave us any chance in 2009 when the Saints were 13-0 and playing at home on a Sat night. Not only did we win but we dominated most of that game. No one gave us any chance last week against the Eagles. Not that the Eagles are on their level but it is the same concept.

We can't get into a shootout, though. We need to play ball control but have to come away with TDs and not FGs. That is our only shot.

Saints is a loss that we can survive (regular season ;)).

The only way the Cowboys can beat the Saints is to somehow convince them to not show up.

If we get zeke about 25-30 touches and 5-6 passing targets plus if the defense plays lights out with about 4-6 sacks on Brees then we have a shot.
