re: It's Thursday before Game Day and Confidence is Absent.

"Brees stays upright and has time to throw, we will win. Graham exploited their LBs in zone coverage last time. Look for Jimmy to have a big game if we are going to win."

Correct about Brees...this applies to every game..if he's warms up with early QUICK passes-just move the chains. Why he tried long passes before he was in rhythm..why he tried to force a pass to Graham in triple coverage..I cannot fathom. Hopefully we will not see this stuff this week.

Hope you're right about Graham though. By the second quarter we should have completed enough passes to OTHER receivers that the kittens will have to ease up the usual over-covering on Graham. Why they didn't wait for this to happen in the Rams game is..again..a mystery.

Keep Ham from running...give Brees time...that's most of it. This will be a championship game..everyone on both teams should be pumped to the max. The Saints were not ready last week..a mystery. The better be this week.
