MNF: Patriots - 17 vs Saints - 38 Game Thread

[Clove]

we are so screwed when we play the Saints

We have corners.

Well, I'm not going to slurp the Saints like some Cowboys fans, however, it's clear that Newman and Jenkins will need to wear their big boy pants when we play them - I caveat this by saying that this doesn't change REGARDLESS of the opponent...we've played quite a few top-flight receivers this year and they've done very well. I'm happy we have a guy like Jenkins stepping up and Newman still able to move with good speed. Patriots defense just looks lost - that's what happens with inexperienced guys.

man I don't want none of the Saints. how the heck are we gonna stop that offense?

Pray?

Okay, I was going for the Pats, but if the Saints are going to win... Run it up. Give Hoodie some of his own medicine.

BTW, have you guys noticed Belicheat loses when he doesn't wear the gray hoodie? Super Bowl 2007 season, Colts game, this game.

So anyway, I have pierre thomas who i started....TD

I then had to decide between Maroney and Meachem. I started Meachem.....either way I would have been ok since both have a TD so far.

Unless Brady completely goes off during the rest of this game, I should win this week and go into the playoffs as the 1 seed.

would trade red jesus for sean peyton

Meachem was my pet cat in the draft a few years ago.

New Orleans is playing like the best team in football tonight. Let's hope this is a fluke, but judging by their record they are for real! Just like Houston Alexander.

 

[zeroburrito]

horrible turnovers are the only things that will keep the saints from the trophy. getting rid of season payton was one of the biggest mistakes of all time.

our D is light years better than Pats.....they are putting no pressure on Brees

 

[Biggems]

The Saints D, aside from Sharper, doesn't scare me. The Saints special teams are not all that if Bush is sidelined. The Saints offense is downright nightmarish.

:laugh1: @ Houston Alexander

: you said it much simpler than I, yet it was much more potent!

 

[StylisticS]

Samuel is not the answer. The Patriots problem is they continued to keep Bruschi, Seau, and guys like Rodney Harrison instead of getting some younger players ready. Now they have over half of their defense starting for the first time in their careers and not seeing the field much before that.

I can think of another Boston area team that did this in the late 80s and early 90s and cost them to be a mediocre team up until 2007-2008.

Oh and we do know that the Pats will come back.

I'm not worried about Newman and Jenkins.

Its when they go 3 WRs..... 4 WRs... we're in trouble. Scandrick better show up when we play them.

And our LBers in coverage..... I'm worried about that too.

our o-line is average at best.

they have an incredible playmaking defense.

 

[camelboy]

We should not put much pressure on ourselves when we go there. Our guys should take it as a practice. A way to have a feel of the dome, crowd, their offense, their defense.....
Chances are almost certain we will go there again if we make a run
to the superbowl and that my fellow fans it the battle that counts.

 

[Gemini Dolly]

Anyone scared of the Saints? Just me? Okay then.

Look at the pass protection he has. There were 4 DB's with nobody to cover and the WR was one on one and beat his man.

Most NFL QB's will win like that, with that much time.
