Hello Who Dats & Who Datettes & welcome to the Saints week 11/game 11 thread.

The Darren Rizzi era started with the end of the 7-game losing streak by beating the Falcons, which is always fun.

Today, it looks like more help returns as the Saints get starting center Erik McCoy back for the first time since the opening possession of the Eagles game.

Maybe we can start a little something here, though old frienemy Jameis Winston comes into the Dome as the Browns starting QB today.

LET'S WIPE THE BROWNS AND GO INTO THE BYE ON A HIGH!!
