frick all this talk about no hope at a win vs the Rams. Getting Vacarro and Klein back is arguably a much bigger deal, and I expect our offense to pound the ball, shorten the game, and grind out a win. frick the Rams!

Getting Klein back is huge against Gurley.

Crawley has played very well and his biggest strength is keeping Harris on the bench. Scares me that we have to have a good game from Harris tomorrow.

I would rest Lattimore this week and next. Need him against Julio more than Watkins and Funchess. Time for our three safety look to cover the absence of our best two cornerbacks.

If we don’t cover in an elite manner we have no pass rush so yea this is troublesome

Watkins could be a problem but he's so damn erratic in the first place. I think the personnel should be fine with Kupp, Higbee and Everett. I'm concerned about how they use Austin but he's erratic too.

I'm not going to say it's a given we don't have a pass rush yet. Let's see what happens when we game plan for Okafor being out.

I do worry about Watkins having a big day, he's been mostly quiet this year, but has the potential to blow up.

The good news is that we have the ability to control time of possession and out score them. I'm looking forward to our coaching staff earning us a W.

I posted this is another thread. This Saints team is unique. We can win with defense, running, or throwing. We've won with each when needed. We are no longer one dimensional.

This game will be no different. But we will need to score some points to win.

With Vacarro back I think we can still keep Harris off the field for most of the game. Moore and PJ on the outsides, Vacarro in the slot.

No Okafor means it’s time to bring Al Queda to the west coast. Time to go Muhammed on those goats, I mean, rams.

I think Robert Woods being out is bad for us believe it or not...... it’s gonna force Goff to go to a more dangerous weapon. People forget Watkins is one of the best offensive weapons in this league. Woods has been in LA a little longer than Watkins so him an Goff have a little more continuity, but Watkins is twice the WRs woods is.

We will have to out gun the rams. Them two being out is huge and I expect Goff to slaughter this defense

People forget Watkins because his time in the NFL has been exactly that, forgettable. I'm. It saying he isn't dangerous but that guy is so inconsistent it's laughable.

Ken Crawley doesn’t seem too concerned

I think you're understating how good Crawley is. He'd be the #1 corner on almost half of the teams in the NFL. You could see how well he played even after Lattimore went out

Ingram/Kamara and Gurley will all have big days.

I really am staying at a Holiday Inn Express right now.

Watkins QB play has been atrocious..... put Watkins with a mid level QB and your memories of him would have been better.
