That's nothing to sneeze at. Big test for the pass rush

Abdul Carter is a gigantic bust.

Also Kelvin Banks is a good player.

 

[PATSYLICIOUS]

protect the ball, HOPEFULLY be able to run the ball. Rham will likely get another shot to bounce back, how will he respond?

Important test to see if we can prevent a let down/trap game after the huge win.

We owe these guys a spanking...

 

[obgod3]

I dont think it will be as easy as folks say, let down game from last night maybe, maybe the Aint's are better than their record....I just hope the pats play like killers.

NE v LV shows we can lose to anyone
NE v BUF shows we can beat anyone

Really hoping NE is able to ‘win the games they should win’ from now through winter.

I predict unicorns and show ponies.

Where's the beef?

 

[sb1]

One advantage of knowing how to win on the road is the wild card.

This young team won't be intimidated going to Buffalo or KC in January.

Winning @ New Orleans won't be at that level but it toughens them up for the path ahead.

S Diggs 247 yards in two weeks: feed the man.

I'm hungry Drake..

The last time we saw them 2023..the game was over in the first quarter. We need to go down there and play our game. NO is a feisty group. If we have post season aspirations these are the games you win amd not let up.

Agreed, also Life coach Ja-rod rust isn't coaching them like last season.. so this season the Vrabel effect is fully in force.. he's turning this team from a losing culture past few years to a winning culture..

 

[ViperGTS]

If I am Vrabel, I would plan on them to start making Maye to move to his left. Also, I would start doubling Diggs as well. See if he can beat us doing that. At lest that is what I would do...

 

[State]

If Cesar Ruiz can’t go like last week, will the Saints be forced to play Torricelli Simpkins III again? He's the undrafted rookie whose athletic abilities make those of Vedarian Lowe seem like Michael Jordan’s. TS3 gave up as many pressures as donuts Homer Simpson eats in one setting. Like 8 or 9.

Whoever is calling the game stay out of the alleys on Bourbon Street.

This gives me a Vinaiteri flashback. Remember when we played Dallas and he ran down world class sprinter Herschel Walker?

I miss @pherein. Saints fan and a great poster here

One of the best.

They've got plenty in the playbook to roll left, and he's been pretty successful at it so far.
It would be interesting though, because I'm pretty sure the Saints coaching staff gets all their information from ESPN, so they'll all be talking about rolling right like he can't roll left.

Anthony Richardson, this guy isn't. Do bootlegs the whole game, Cam Jordan will be gassed by the 2nd quarter. Especially if they don't travel McKinistry and keep him on the offensive right side. (McKinistry, really good, btw. He's young, he's no Gonzalez, but he's pretty damned good)

The Saints played the Bills tough in Orchard Park the game previous to ours. And the Bills played better that game then they did in ours.

And many Patriot fans will come away realizing that Spencer Rattler is legit as QB. Not the dogsh-t they had assumed.

Will Campbell going back home? Mr Nasty possibly facing Chase Young?

Ole friend Godchaux is their starting NT. I love what Tonga is doing for us. Quite the find.

I admit that when they signed him as the 1st or 2nd FA signing I was like ok because we need camp bodies and we have a hole at NT. I am not sure I have ever been more wrong (I mean I am sure I have been).

Tonga has impressed the hell outta me.
