I know that's hard to believe in the world of hot takes and adversarialism that pollutes social media and message boards these days. One would have to be a fool not to see the Saints are vulnerable right now. It's not their fault, they're just very beat up. I'm not a trash talker, but even if I were, I'd be really stupid to do it under these circumstances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coming out flat against the Bucs, Panthers, and Eagles is one thing, coming out flat against the Rams in the NFCCG is a different story. Now I don't know how good or bad they've looked lately,. but I know what they did look like, and I know what we have looked like. We'll see come Sunday.

Destructo Spin Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 It even seems weird to me talking about how beat up the Saints are, so I don't even blame people for not buying it. On paper, the injury report says everybody is full go. But in reality Armstead is playing with a torn pectoral and that's usually a season-ending injury. Peat has a broken hand and has really struggled trying to play with it. Ramczyk has his arm in a sling after every game and I believe a bad ankle too. And Warford's struggled with foot and leg injuries the last of the season. If all our injuries were less confined to one unit I'd feel better about this, but right now our biggest vulnerability on offense plays right into the Rams biggest strength on defense. Rams have to smell blood in the water and I don't blame them, I'd feel the same way if the positions were reversed. If we manage to win it will because the crowd noise severely affects the Rams play adjustments at the line and because Brees does something legendary. So I think we have a chance. But on a neutral field, I think the Rams probably beat us by at least 14 points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Destructo Spin Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 Now Ben Watson is being ruled out because of appendicitis. This could really hurt us against the blitz. I kinda like Josh Hill as a #2 TE but he's not a guy you are thrilled with playing every snap. I guess Taysom Hill is the #2 TE at this point?

Jlowe22 Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 Maybe playoff Josh Hill will show up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
btfd16 Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 Yeah I feel like the Saints are more injury effected than the report suggests. There is one thing holding me back from being confident. That's number 9 vs number 16. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The petition has gotten national media attention and if it brings awareness then maybe they'll be conscious of it while theyre reffing. All we can ask for. Now if you want to talk about the actual football game we are going to play that would be great. I am hoping the injuries your OL is recovering from helps Donald, Brockers, and Suh stop the run and get to Brees although he get's the ball out very quickly. See above. You guys went on & on about it, and then can't take some humor. Grow up, kid. Saints by 24 at the half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And women never drop arguments. Saints by 39 at the half. Shame me there isn’t a foe like Matts or Calvert here. Rammy Out. I’m scared of this game. But Goff has owned that dome and has zero fear in there. And the saints D is just so bad in my eyes. I can’t remove the game Fitzy had against them. They should just quit for that alone. I just see Brees neutralizing our pass rush with quick passes! And I can’t see us stopping Kamara. He’s a ram killer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
