While I have no confidence this will be implemented and probably the reverse will happen here are my ways we beat NO. 

 

1. Run the ball early and often. Heavy sets multiple backs and formations. We want win if we don't run the ball. We don't have the WRs to pass so get them involved in the run game as well. 

2. Boot Cam out on waggle plays and let him gain yards as needed off the run. 

3. Defense needs to keep NO from big plays. We will control the clock with the run and make them waste clock as well. 

4. Keep good field position. We can't afford to turn the ball over or go 3 and out every series. Scoring isn't as big as field position. 

 

 

Welp thats it. I know easier said than done but it's our biggest shot imo.

No 3rd and longs.   We will get destroyed if we need to convert these on a consistent basis. 

No missed tackles.  That and special teams was literally the difference in the second game. 

Must convert redzone opportunities.  The chances we get to score, we have to score touchdowns.

100% on #3.  Chunk plays killed us both times this year, stop those, and we stop the saints.  Saints thrive on 15+ yard plays, hold them to 2 or 3 in the game, and we gonna win.  

 

I think we need to force turnovers, something we've been hit or miss on this season, and thats why I think we need to force the pressure early this season by going fast pace, maybe even hurry up on the first drive and get us on top, force Brees and that young team to make plays and put the ball where they might not want to put it.

I feel like we are going to obliterated, which is sad because you think of division rivalry and you think close games... But on the optimistic side, I thought we'd get obliterated against Arizona in 2015, and boy was I ever wrong.... Anything is possible, but doubtful from a team who knows us inside and out. Fingers crossed

Turnovers and control the ball.  3rd downs must be in our favor, both sides.   Certainly possible but cannot let them get up big.  

One thing, we have played to the comp most of the year but the one team that has an answer is NO.  Sigh.  We gotta be super efficient and keep the ball.

Win the turnover battle. Can't be even with them. Have to at least be +1 in turnovers.

Don’t mean to interfere in your discussions but, this guy gets it. If Drew’s not on the field the Saints can’t score. #worriedalittle

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By MHS831 · Posted

      I see Bryce's development this way: He improved when his supporting cast improved.  TMac and Dowdle saved his arse last year, but in fairness, most good QBs have good WRs and good RBs--and good OLs.   The 2025 OL underperformed, actually. They were above average, but they should have been elite if you consider the salary cap.   As soon as we signed Lewis and Hunt, I started thinking, "That's not sustainable.  With Ickey about to get paid a LT salary, Moton and Hunt grabbling $50m per season combined, and Lewis around $17m--that would be nearly $100m and the Center just walked.  Yikes.  What does that mean?  Rico walks, Mays walks, and we do not have a top 5 WR on a second contract.  We do not have an elite TE, and only 1 is on a modest second contract. And now Bryce will demand $50m for his incremental rise to mediocrity?   So when we sign Bryce, we will get weaker at other positions.  Hunt, Moton, maybe Ickey and Lewis, will all be casualties--that is the right move regardless (not sure yet about Ickey, but he was not elite) Bryce is one lucky, entitled camper.  No competition since being drafted, and he lost his job for a while to the aging clipboard holder.  Now we are bringing in UDFAs and busts to compete with him.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      Probably not.  If we are taking a QB, it would be a prospect to replace Bryce and not a flyer type player.  I can't say for sure, but I doubt he would have cracked the top 3-4 QBs even if he were to play this coming season.

      The Giants, Cardinals  and Dolphins should have moved on, but they didn't and ended up cutting their QB early into a monster second contract and had to eat a TON of dead cap money.
