The Commanders D is a lot like the Saints D

Good against the run bad against the pass. There is just one key difference. The Saints on average allow 4 more points per game... If we can put 35 on the Saints I think we have a chance. We have to run it well, but not be afraid of the pass.

Don't count on Brees to make nearly the same amount of mistakes a backup Commander QB makes though.
True, but we didn't really get good field position too much off of them today.... and Brees just made a pretty big mistake right there.

Yeah, and the Saints offense averages 37 ppg compared to the Commanders 19 ppg and that was before Colt McCoy. The Chiefs also have the 3rd worse defense in the league, guess that would be pretty close too :rolleyes:

Yes the Chiefs would be close, their defense can't stop anything. Same with the Rams. Again, not saying it's a sure thing, just saying we stand a lot more of a chance than a lot of Chicken Littles around here seem to think.

I think you’re right that the game will be much closer then people think but I think that would have more to due with clock management then going head to head if you will.

Atlanta was a great example, how much time did our first drive take? We just need to move the ball slowly and methodically against their D which we can definitely do but god help us if we get behind by 14 or more.

They have this guy named Drew Brees that's a lil bit better than Colt McCoy

And the Commanders are trash against the run their whole defense is turnover reliant they get turnovers or they get shredded

Would be nice to have a tall presence (irving) in the middle of the defensive line to affect brees' vision and passing.

We don't put up 31 without the turnovers. Get real ! You think this defensive backfield is going to control Brees? I like optimism but I'm a realist too.

Really, most of the turnovers got us the ball deep in our zone. A punt would have done the exact same thing.

First INT got us the ball at our 27 yard line. Last INT got us the ball at our 14 yard line. 2/3 = most. Your only argument is the 27 yard line isn't deep in our territory but that's just 2 yards off a touchback so... yea...

Lol, I wouldn’t be surprised to see the Saints put 50 on us.
Because everyone has put 50 on us haven't they. They have only put up 40 on one decent defense, and that was the Skins we just put 31 on (which I think means they suck).

Yea because everyone we’ve played has the Saints offense. The Skins with a backup scored 23 on us. Don’t get it twisted bud, I’m a Cowboys fan but you’re being more optimistic than I am!

Again, 1 team has allowed 50 by the Saints, the freaking Bengals. Yea we are a bit better on defense than them. 3 others have allowed 40, the Commanders who according to most in here suck, the Falcons, who we all know suck, and the Rams, who we all know suck. Let's not count this game out before it's even played. ESPN gives us like a 1 in 3 chance of winning, I think that's about right.
