Welcome to week 10 of the 2018 NFL season and week 9 of your weekly Saints game thread

GIMME DAT



Hope you don't get brain freeze anytime you think of the Bengals... not because of that gif above but because of the last time we were in Cincy and Drew pulled off 'No Brainer Freeze'... the 4th down play where we act like we're going to go for it but really have no intention of actually going for it... and Drew got them to jump into the neutral zone giving the Saints a 1st down allowing the Saints to continue the drive for a game-winning TD instead of a game-tying FG. Brees found Colston for the 3 yard GW TD on the next play.

The Saints were looking forward to playing with their new toy in Dez Bryant... but we all know how that ended and he's now on IR. Also to IR this week was the man Bryant was replacing... Cam Meredith. But among all that bad news is that the Saints are basically back right where they were last week when they defeated the LA Rams 45-35. Yes Marcus Davenport is still out, which sucks, but he's the only big missing component. Meanwhile... the Bengals are without WR AJ Green, LB Vontaze Burfict, LB Nick Virgil, CB Darqueze Dennard, TE Tyler Kroft. G Alex Redmond is Doubtful & RB Giovani Bernard is Questionable to play today. They're badly beat up

LET'S MAKE THE STEELERS WIN ON THURSDAY REALLY COUNT AND TAKE A 2-GAME LEAD IN THE DIVISION!!! SCREW WHO DEY... IT'S WHO DAT!!!

Uniforms: The Saints will roll with the white jersey/black pants combo this week in Cincy
