re: Armstead, Snead back. Breaux around the corner. .500 coming out of bye.

We weathered the storm and this Lions game at home will dictate how the rest of 2017 will go.

I started a thread this preseason projecting us to be 2-2 asking what everyone thought would be the most impactful game we played on the season. I said the Lions game because we've lost to them 3 straight years on the way to 7-9 and this game would probably be the one to put us over .500 and give us momentum coming out of a bye. Still true today, think this game will set the pace for the rest of the season. Won't be easy. Hopefully Sean Payton figures out how to use this bye to the team's advantage. He had a great record coming off of byes up until these past few seasons.
