Moving on to New Orleans

Recommended Posts

Week 16 is in the books and its not one of our better weeks but we need to move on.

We play the New Orleans Saints on Sunday and if we win, we lock up the 2nd seed in the NFC which means a 1st round bye and a home game for the divisional round.

Our defensive backs will be tested against Drew Brees because everyone and their grandmothers know that the Saints love to pass. The Saints rank 1st in points per game, 1st in pass yards, and 1st in total offensive yards. To build momentum leading into the playoffs, we need a confidence booster and that will be to shut down Drew Brees. Pierre Thomas has been coming along nicely for the Saints but he isn't Derrick Ward and Brandon Jacobs so our defensive game plan doesn't have to be focused on stopping the run. Our rushing attack needs to just show up and offensively we should have a nice day at the office. However, defensively, we have playing like complete poo as of late giving up 27½ points per game for the last 6 weeks. That stat is pathetic. On the contrary, the Saints have been scoring just under 33 points a game and a 4-2 record in the last 6 games. Their offense is hot and we need to prove to ourselves that we can stop a high powered offense to have any chance in the playoffs. If Brees even does remotely good, I'm going to punch Ken Lucas in his nose and make his eyes water a little bit.

Let's lock up the NFC South with our defense.

    • You’re playing madden we’re talking real football stuff…. He does have you seen his special on internet he def thinks he’s getting paid 
    • Without the team having an identity kinda hard to predict what they value.  They either are really trying to build a balanced team, or preparing for another swing at qb if Bryce doesn’t pan out. Seems like we value the o line but the $ spent there has been underwhelming besides Lewis, you could say it’s because of injuries but still hasn’t been worth the investment. as already stated, the whole handling of Bryce young as a whole has been ass backwards, we spent the years we’re supposed to take advantage of having a qb with a lower cap hit, building the team up to be adequate. now It appears, key word appears, the saints have done it correctly, which is painful to even think about. Regardless, I hope the front office has paid attention to qb contracts recently, such as Tua, Kyler, Daniel jones(pre colts) and don’t settle for subpar qb play at franchise qb rates    
    • This is the flaw in your logic.  Cutting 3 of our best players will somehow move us from whatever we are to "compete". Even the most Young super fans are not predicting a ceiling above top 10-12, and that will not nearly cut it.  Someone will need to break the log jam of QBs getting nothing or North of 50. Our qb is at best a middle ground, lets hope it will be us that also manage to pay the worth at about 100 over 3 years.  And before you jump me, yes that is only of he improves.
