Three keys to get that W

[SgtJoo]

This idea that Ingram is some superstar is crazy, he's an average at best runner in a crazy committee. Get pressure on Brees and use Olsen we win

 

He's a really good back being held back by that RBBC.

 

If Payton could use RBs, he'd be deadly as fug.

1) Score TDs

2) Don't let them score TDs

3) Shula sucks.

[Carolina Cajun]

1) Finish Drives- Biggest key we have is not going to be moving the ball, I believe we will and KB is in for a big game against a suspect Saints Secondary.  Problem is, will we get ultra conservative in the redzone, unless Shula opens it up and trusts cam to win the game with his ARM or his legs, we will not finish drives and we will not win.  Settling for 3 in the redzone will result in a loss.

 

2) Prevent the big play - The biggest killer for us all year has been the big play, when we keep the game in front of us and force teams to go 13-14 plays to score, good things happen.  This is amplified by the fact that Brees has been a bit erratic this season, so I think the more we don't allow him to burn us in big chunks and force him to throw it multiple times, the more likely we are to force some turnovers, and turnovers will be big in this game because on a short week, there tends to be more as we've seen on other Thursday night games.

 

3)Dline getting pressure - I know the big thing everyone is hammering on is the offense this week, and rightfully so, but our bread and butter is defense, and we need our front to stand tall if we're gonna win.  Big Money needs to have a good game going after Brees.  it's no secret that when Brees gets hit a lot, he isn't accurate.  They don't exactly have a great O-line, so we need to dial up CJ, KK, and Star, stop the run, and pressure Brees.  If we end up +2 in the turnover margin, we win and it won't be that close.  

 

It's time, fug the Taints, time to go take our Division.  Sorry Taints, you aren't coming into our house and taking our division!

Defense - Stop their run game, try to get to Brees early and rough him up. He gets comfortable early, it will be a long night. 

 

Offense - Throw the whole time of possession crap out the window. Shotgun, No huddle, Even some read option. This will not happen, but kidnapping Shula for the next 7 hours will do it

1. Pressure - preferably up the middle to prevent Brees from climbing in the pocket. That means we need big games from Star and KK as well as Davis when he blitz from the A gap.

2- protection: last year, week 16 here against the saints, the saints started a rookie LT against Greg Hardy. It was either his first or second start and it showed. Our unstaffed LT can't get abused the same way for us to have a chance.

3 -- touchdowns instead of field goals. Pretty self explanatory. I expect to drive the ball on this team, now we have to make sure we punch it in when we get down there.

The 3 keys to victory:

1) Not have Shula as our OC

Well, we're fuged already.

[TheMaulClaw]

We need to create turnovers in order to win. 

 

Doing a good job containing Lynch gives me some hope for stopping Ingram.  I don't know why he's been labeled a bust by many.....he's a good back. 

 

Ultimately I think this game comes down too stopping Graham and Cooks.  The speed of Cooks scares me a little.

[Growl]

Play football. This tam has looked soft and stupid for the entire first half or the season. We have a chance to do so,e good things down the stretch-we play a softer schedule than new orlean's tough route, we're gonna get healthier, and we may just possibly get Kraken back.

Go out there tonight and win. Don't make this as hard as it can possibly be.

[Boxhead85]

We did none of the three things. The season isn't over...but a loss in another primetime game against Philly will certainly end it.
