I'm concerned about this game.

This is a statement game for our Saints. They need to show that they can take a punch and punch back.

I see this as an evenly matched contest. Our D-line sucks, Tampa’s O-line is marginal and they can barely crank out some yardage on the ground. Our d-backs suck, Tampa’s receivers suck. We have the advantage at QB…if Bushrod can show up this game. Our receivers >>> Tampa’s d-backs…if our receivers don’t drop the ball in the end zone.

So with a lot of if’s out there, I am interested to see if our Saints can roll over the 1-13 Bucs or if we again put together a weak first half and hope to pull it out at the end. Yeah yea yea, wins are wins. I’ve heard that. It’s not true! We need to crush some people and get our playoff intensity up. This year is about going to the Bowl game.

Agreed

There are 4 quarters of play in the NFL. And I’m so sick of sloppy 1st quarter lack of performance. We need to treat this game as scoring 35 plus points where we’re supposed to be at and none of the 3 and out nonsense that haunted us in the 1st quarter last week
