Ever hear of these guys?

Dan Arnold
Tommy Lee Lewis
Austin Carr
Keith Kirkwood

These are the guys who scored TD's against the Falcons in the Saints last game. The Falcons managed to keep Kamara, Thomas and Ingram all out of the endzone. Brees only had 171 yards passing. The Falcons blew it by coughing the ball up 4 times.
 
The Saints can be beat - but I don't think this proves that the Saints are "weak" or have "flaws" because they don't have big name players catching TDs... I think it just proves that Drew Brees is a machine and it doesn't matter who he's throing the ball to.

The thing that sucks is the fact that it appears they had an 'off game' against the Falcons - they'll make adjustments & those players that you mentioned will probably all score (probably multiple times) against us. I think we would've had a better chance playing them at home on a short week (last week) than we do this week. Either way, they're on our schedule and it's time to shock the world!
 
I said this in last weeks game thread. Saints didn’t win that game, the Falcons blew it. Either way, if our D gets off the field on 3rd downs and our offense takes opportunity of it’s chances, we win this game.
 
Those guys will have a lot more success getting open against....whoever the heck ATL is throwing out there now than they will against LVE, Jaylon, Brown, Lewis, and Chido.

That's why I don't think this game is going to be the shootout that some say it will. Dallas' D matches up very, very well against what the Saints want to do on offense.
 
Any team can lose in a given week...including New Orleans.

But Thomas, Kamara, and Ingram all could've scored if the Saints cared who actually scored the TDs.
The other guys were just easier to go to and a great QB like Brees took advantage of it.
Also, the stud rookie WR (Trequan Smith) that they were finally fully working into the rotation, was out as well.

Turnovers or not, 31-17 is a fairly comfortable win.

But yes, Dallas can win on Thursday if all goes well.
 
Brees in the engine that makes that team run. The success of their offense is predicated on his throwing accuracy. Their receivers typically have great hands, very adept at catching contested balls. If Brees is comfortable in the pocket, he will carve up any defense.
 
Trequan smith will be back and a new probowl wr toy named Brandon Marshall will be playing tomorrow

Drew Brees, Sean Payton, Michael Thomas, Alvin Kamara, and Mark Ingram.

Those are the names who make the no-names a problem.
 
Good teams like the Saints get everyone involved. We have guys we are afraid to throw the ball to.

You're just naming names now because the bolded players are having a horrible season right now. The key to beating the Saints is ball control and getting to Brees, all this other crap is just white noise to make the game sound more complicated than it really is going to be. Colt McCoy had multiple turnovers but he was able to move the ball against this defense with a bad OL, the Saints have the leading MVP candidate and possibly the best OL in football right now.

I would be 0% against benching Brown for Lewis in this game, at least Lewis will play the ball.

None of them have been horrible, considering they're 3rd and 4th on the depth chart.
 
Brandon Marshall was their second...reluctant choice after Dez blew out a tire in practice.
