First as of this week both the saints offense and defense are ranked in the top 5. It's surprising to see a lot of you guys calling for a blowout. It could happen but rarely does this team get blown out. I will say that I believe Brees is at his worst (which is still darn good) when there is wind and rain and I do believe we will get that in Seattle.
I am also surprised by so many of you guys saying how bad we are on the road. Are we as explosive? Not this year but here are the saints w/l on the road since 2009.
Overall we are 24-13 on the road since 2009 in the regular season and Payton is 21-8 on the road. Maybe I'm stupid but I tend to think that is good. This year we are 3-2 on the road (NE got every single call and we still had to give that game away at the very end) (the jets abused us and it didn't help that Al Toon's son Nick was playing for the jets that day) Toon cost us big time with his pathetic hands that day. He was so bad word has it that Al ordered a blood test up because he didn't believe a kid of this would have that bad of hands. (Toon cost us 14 points that day)
As for primetime, I know you guys have won your last 7 MNF games (which is fantastic btw) but did you know the saints have won their last 9 MNF games?
I know you guys have a great team but can we admit to each other that none of us know our opponent as well as we know our own team?
As for injuries, every team has them. We've lost Kenyon Coleman, Will Smith, Jon Vilma, Victor Butler (may make it back this year), Jabari Greer, and Patrick Robinson all for the year. We lost Harper for six weeks (thank God, he is by far our worst pass defender) and Malcolm Jenkins for a few weeks. All of these guys were in our top 12 defenders so I am very surprised by our D even though I do think the youth movement helped out. Hopefully Sproles will be a full go but we really need Jahri Evans healthy. When he is right he is the best in the biz and is a dominant RG.
Brees is 1000 times better than any qb you have seen so far this year.
As for the myth that the penalty last week cost the niners the game. They had over 3 mins to do something about it and couldn't. The niners had negative yards the entire fourth qtr and I guess most of you didn't see where we had twice as many yards and first downs as the niners. 17 of the niner points came off of turnovers why we got nothing off of tos.
If there are any questions I can answer about the saints please let me know?
Good luck to you guys and here's to an injury free game. I am not predicting anything. I'm strictly putting info out there.
