Saints Vs Giants

So Thomas returned to full practice today?

Sounds like a risky start to me especially against the Giants front 7.

 

I might play Bell. Not PT.

Dallas ran for almost 300 yards against this vaunted front 7.

 

Giants had 3 or 4 out with injury for that game.:yelwink2:

 

And they do as well this week. :thumb:

Canty, Boley, their FS.

 

I meant on the dline and LBs vs Cowboys. I have their D in fantasy and they are missing players left and right and still putting up 27-33 points a game. They cause turnovers, sacks, and score on turnovers.

I did get screwed when on one Defensive TD when the refs called the pass to Witten dead but it bounced off his heal and the Giants caught it and ran it back.

I would be surprised if either team scores more that 21 offensive points on Sunday. I say 17-14 Saints.

Sunday, 1 p.m.
New York Giants at New Orleans Saints

The junior-varsity portion of the Giants' schedule is over and, to paraphrase former NFL coach Dennis Green, it's time to find out who they really are. Their ability, however, to immediately and decisively dispatch all of the also-rans they faced over the last three weeks is the mark of a very solid football team. Too often teams in the NFL allow sub-par groups, like the Bucs, Chiefs and Raiders, to eke out undeserving wins. Not this year's business-like Giants.

But New York isn't a threat to Drew Brees and the Saints, who are rested coming off a bye. Before their week off, the Saints notched two victories with their running game and defense providing the biggest boosts. That's not a good sign for a Giants defense that was surprisingly gashed on the ground by the last legitimate opponent it faced in the Dallas Cowboys in Week 2.

That means it is a pick-your-poison game for new Giants defensive coordinator Bill Sheridan. Does he keep both safeties back to prevent the big play from Marques Colston, Devery Henderson and company? That could lead to a slow death, thanks to the Saints suddenly punishing ground game. But putting eight defenders in the box and leaving only one safety deep could lead to an even quicker demise. Decisions, decisions.

 

Kinda nervous about this game.

Kickoff in a couple of hours.

Getcha gameface on.

 

I agree.

This could easily turn into a rout today.

The Giants, however, are the best road team in the NFL for the past 3 years (and I don't even think there is a close 2nd).

I think it will be a "comfortable" 10 point win for the Saints today.
