I firmly believe our struggles Thursday night were as a direct result of the tough, physical game we played last Sunday. We honestly didn't have a huge chance of success given the short week and how shell shocked Brees was after the two pick 6s. Brees looked like he was forcing every pass, rushing every drive. I know the Giants are a tough team, but I think we start our 4 game win streak one week from today. I think this weekend will e huge for us to calm down and collect ourselves. We have absolutely got to get back to the run and I think the Giants will be a good team to get right against. You know Spags won't mind dialing up something a little extra special for his old team.
I don't know whether or not we make it in at 9-7, but were not out of it just yet

I'm starting to think we should elect to receive.
Score points early.
That way, we won't have to play from behind and Drew won't go full retard.

only one of the pick 6's was his fault really. We win that game if that ball hits off colston's hands and goes even a slightly different direction, or if he catches it obviously, or even doesnt touch it at all. after that play I was just like, why cant one of my teams just catch a fricking break this season.

Well the Saints have won the last three with ease so it's possible they could win. The D is playing better and if the Saints will run the ball and not abandon it the first time someone gets stopped for no gain, then maybe they can pull out the upset.

You guys win as the Giants lose the next two and everyone says they have no chance and then become dominate in the playoffs and....


Just makes me mad they pull the same shite every year

we have had the Giants number lately.

it was nice seeing the defense forcing ATL to go 1-for-11 in third down situations.

just have to cut out the turnovers. Unlike ATL, if we turn the ball over a ton against the Giants it could get real ugly.

I don't think that we will ever see a bad game like that from Brees again.

Hopefully the pass protection will be able to hold up better. And hopefully we will stick with the ground game. I think one reason we got away from it the other night is because we were chewing up time and not putting points on the board. I mean a field goal is better than nothing but at some point you have to start taking your shots down the field too. We did that but there were some dropped passes too.

The SF game and short week were big concerns to me going into the week. I think that may have contributed to our slow start on defense. Who wants to tackle/hit a 225 lbs running back as hard as you can when you are banged up and sore from four days earlier.

Thursday night games suck!
