Saints on grass

[maniax]

We have played everybody close this year. Giants, Detroit, Dallas, Philly, Steelers, Ravens, etc. Nobody blew us out. Nobody put up >30 points on us.

I don't see why the game against the Saints would be any different. I think it will be a really close game.

I wish I shared your optimism.

I realize that a decade of losing probaably makes you think this way. But 13-3is no fluke. Do you think the Saints are gonna win then? Just curious

 

[CalamityX11]

Really? Sounds a little like whistling past the graveyard to me. Not fearing the Saints is a little like not fearing a grizzly bear.

you don't fear the bear, you admire it!

I'm pretty fine with Mozart's feelings.... fair for him to have doubts... but he and I will both agree that 13 games of the season, the niners put his fears to rest

Fear the Beard, not the bear...

Tebow didn't fear.... Tebow tebowed the beard.....

dude -DUDE! - WTF, happened yesterday??!!??...That was Effing Crazy!!

Pittsburgh players and fans won't soon get over that loss - I think for the entire season next year they will find their asses in church! Ha ha

I know most will say Im whining when I say this but...the one thing that does concern me is how many bs calls will the saints get in this one? Ive seen it too many times this year where the fan-favorites or, in the saints case, 'feel good story/boo hoo hoo story' teams are getting calls their way. It happened the other night with the Saints, its happens non-stop with the Steelers (though it didnt help them the other night), and it happens with the Packers as well. My concern is we cut this too close and some bs call comes back and bites us in the ass.

Yeah, that does sound a bit like whining. You blaming the refs already, we have a top ranked defense. We just got to D up. Hit Brees early and often.

LMMFAO!!!!!... You just wrote the script of my exact thoughts

again, you can feel how you feel, didn't mean to knock your opinion.

my "optimism" has been consistent for weeks, i give ourselves a fair chance of winning. for me, "fair chance" means not quite 50/50, ie still saying New Orleans is a little better overall.

not scared they'll blow us out, which is what you're emphasizing. my opinion is they'll score in the twenties, say two TD's and four FG's (26 points); or three TD's and two FG's (27 points).

we'll move downfield enough times ourselves into the red zone.

or was it I who scripted your thoughts?

Maybe when I'm hiking (the Dome) but not as much in the zoo ('Stick). I'm a little more scared against other teams (besides GB) on the road as I am against the Saints at home. Again, this doesn't mean I'm confident we'll win, just that we can. Saints at the Dome, another story.

I just had a hilarious thought - what if NE gets Tebowed?? The Sportscasters will be in a catatonic state for the entire show!! Except of course for Skip

No, Skip won't be catatonic, he'll be Cantontonic for Tebow. Hall of Fame for sure.

The difference between the Saints and those teams is the offense.
The Saints averaged 35 points per game while the Steelers averaged 20, the Ravens 24, the Cowboys 23, the Eagles 25, the Lions 30 and the Giants 25.

The 49ers can beat the Saints but if they are not almost mistake free on D the Saints will capitalize.

Ok factor in then on top of that, how much did the Saints average on the road, on grass? 23, 30, 20, 22. Looks like average of 23.75.

Also factor in how many PPG's did the 49ers D allow on average at home?
17, 27, 3, 10, 20, 7, 0, 3. Average of 10.8975 points.

I'm predicting Saints will score between 20 and 26 points.

I hope you are right, that would make for a nailbiter but winnable game IMO.

Everyone likes to talk about the high flying aerial attack of the Saints offense, but the 49ers D seems to be not getting enough attention.

The Saints team is basically the same team we lost to at Candlestick a year ago 25-22, substitute Reggie Bush for Darren Sproles. Sure the Saints are clicking alot better this year, but our team has improved even more since last year.
