Hello Who Dats & Who Datettes & welcome to the Week 7/Game 7 Thread



A short week after a tough loss after leading for the vast majority of the game, and maybe some dry desert air will clear up what's ailing the Saints.

The Saints will look to improve in the red zone after getting only 1 TD & having to settle for 4 FGs in 5 trips inside the Cincinnati 20 last week, a key part in last week's loss.

But while there are things to lament, maybe there's hope for an offense that has looked much more competent over the last few weeks (currently tied for 6th best in total yards per game average... I know... I was shocked too... a top-10 offense?), including 200+ rushing yards in last week's game. And now some help is coming back this week as WR Chris Olave is set to return to the line-up for tonight's game from his concussion suffered a week & a half ago.

Meanwhile, the Cardinals will get their own bit of help back at the wide receiver position as D'Andre Hopkins makes his season debut tonight.

LET'S CLIP THE CARDINALS WINGS AND COME BACK INTO THE MINI-BYE WITH A WIN!!!!!
