so yea... the um Saints.... how do we beat them this time?

[TheBigKat]

last time they loaded the box, shut down the run and forced BY9 to beat them, we saw the result of that. So what can we do this time to beat them? I suspect it's going to require a lot of short / intermediate passes with TE play to help

[Yup]

110% in all three phases of the game. Then score more points than they do.

so usually the team with the most points wins the game?

[DeAngelo Beason]

Bryce Young just has to deliver and punish them for loading up against the run by accurately throwing the football to open receivers... Something he has rarely been able to do.

You need to put money on them.

[Khaki Lackey]

Our only hope is if "bad" Bryce is done for the season. "Serviceable to good" Bryce showed up for the end of last season. Let's hope that trend continues.

If we can beat the Rams we can beat any team in the league. Just depends on which team (specifically, which Bryce Young) shows up Sunday 

[SmokinwithWilly]

They're going to follow the game plan of any team vs Bryce. Make him throw. If he has a good day, we can win. If not, the board will be heated again after the game.

The Saints have Bryce's number and that building is cursed. Bryce needs to tap into something supernatural to win this game lol

I think a W this week and the rest of the games is squarely on our shoulders and depends on it we can get on the same page answering one vital question:

Do we try to convince our guys that they are 17 point underdogs for each game?

OR

Convince them that, despite the uniforms, the opposing team is actually the Atlanta Falcons?

[La Pantera]

We’ll still have to run the ball. Keep them honest. Need throws out of jumbo/2 TE sets. Play action and bootlegs.

[csx]

If we lose it's almost surely on Canales having a BY only gameplay that doesn't adjust.
