if we beat the saints then we have a chance against the Broncos. If we get embarrass by Brees then the outlook for us for won't look good against Peyton.
Its a good way to look at it, but maybe not the right way to figure out the outcome of the broncos game. Maybe I'm wrong.
Being only the 6th game, we think it's a great power rating , unlike all the useless fake ones, and where the team is right now, and what needs to be fixed.Giants have proved power ratings are a myth at the beginning of the season. Good coaches fix those things.
Saints haven't faced a HOF coach/QB, with a solid defense, proficient offense, and outdoor home field disadvantage. I say proficient because its never easy the 1st game, and not sure if Gronk with make the leap. I would like to see Gronk in for a couple plays vs bengals to get the motor started, nothing serious. Not that we have anyone to cover him.
We are going to learn what happens when the Saints are away from home on turf. The real weakness is that our defense usually breaks down like butter on a frying pan in away games outdoors. Lost us 2 postseason games, offense did fine. 49ers and Seahawks.
Patriots are a mentally tough team this year. Theres no way around it. They continue to win with rookies and undrafted free agents, by great coaching and focused QB leadership. They will fight tooth and nail, home or away we believe.
Not sure there is much we can learn offensively. NO’s offense has been a well oiled machine for years now. Theres a couple rookies like stills and toon, but their no worse than meachum. Glaring problem is the OL assignments.
Our defense has tons to learn from this game. Our secondary is very physical, and the DL, but we have real problems holding assignments during run plays.
Pats fans will learn if thier run game can win games, because we wont stop it,lol. If the defense can make some big plays against a pretty good QB, cover many capable targets at the same time, limit our dump run, screen... its alot to ask...if NO is firing on all 8 cylinders, and I think that comes from great defensive plays and coaching.
You have to have the right play and out think payton + Brees when the play starts.
One thing about Brees is he doesn't choke. He may throw 3 interceptions, but you can be sure, that they are erased from his mind and he will score on the next drive.
I personally think we are at a disadvantage with this game, but its the perfect time and place for both teams to learn something, and have it not matter much in the standings.
Though the media will make it way bigger than it is, hehe
hmm i talk to much, in the end BB will fix the problems before the Bronco's , I think.
