PLAYOFFS-Saints Vs Cardinals Saturday @ 3:30

Re: PLAYOFFS-Saints Vs Cardinals

I hope the Vikings win and get banged up doing it. I don't particularly want to see the Cowboys right now. They are the hot team.
We are definitely going to be healthier than the Cards. They haven't announced yet if they got any more significant injuries vs the Packers. Bolden is probably still doubtful. He has one of those infamous HIGH ankle sprains that seem to take forever to heal and also a sprained medial collateral ligament in his knee. He is a tough dude but they are better off with a healthy Early. The rest that I can think of are the CB Cromartie, safety Rolle, and DE Cambell with a broken thumb. All defense. They will play but not be 100%.
The other that I can think of is the starting LT went on IR a couple of weeks ago after operation for a sports hernia. So their LT has only been playing for 2 weeks. We need a big game from Will Smith.

Let them play 7 on 7 drills, first to 100 points wins.

I'm hopeful Warner is off, which happens to a player alot after a near perfect game like he had this last week (see Drew after New England). Drew had an OK game after, but nowhere near as sharp.SaintslogoSaintslogoSaintslogo

 

Re: PLAYOFFS-Saints Vs Cardinals

DO NOT depend on this guy having an off game. He is basically an immobile robot. He is a perfectionist much like Breese. Unfortunately for him & the Cards things going wrong bother him more than they seem to bother Breese so he starts to fall apart. If we can get hits on him even if the pass is gone he starts to question things. He actually wants to retire and there are strong rumors in Arizona that he will give up the last year of his contract, especially if they do well in the playoffs. He got a concussion earlier this year and was also deeply affected by Boldin's getting hit last year that essentially broke his face. He almost retired on the spot. He is deeply religious and has 7 kids and doesn't want to try to raise them as a drooling idiot. So he is VERY concious of the hits. No hits & he gets comfortable then look out. He is just as accurate as Breese. Put pressure on him, especially up the middle, and he starts to look REAL ordinary. Getting to Warner is the key. Our DB's, even if healthy won't cover those guys all night without pressure on the trigger.

 

SportSims.net ran simulations for this week's games. Based on 10,000 simulations for each game, here are the results.

Jets vs. Chargers
Jets win 51.8% by a final score of 24-20

Ravens vs. Colts
Ravens win 53.8% by a final score of 27-20

Cowboys vs. Vikings
Cowboys win 50.9% by a final score of 21-20

Cardinals vs. Saints
Saints win 59.3% by a final score of 31-21

 

apparently in Vegas, 90% of the money (straight win) is on the Cards to win, according to Scotty Ferrall.
