Re: Saints 2017
That was an ugly first half, but this team has been looking like an actual football team for a while now.

Re: Saints 2017
First of all, thank you da Bears for smacking Cam around today. Anytime Cam can get smacked around, it's a good thing.windywave wrote:I'll just preemptively start talking smack.
The Bears are a nice surprise, and to think, they had Atlanta on the ropes as well in Week 1. So this is a typical Saints feeling too good about themselves game, coming home to the Dome, and could get ambushed. And no Cutler to hamper Chicago.
But this Saints team does seem a little different, more like the 2006 team, which I think is a good thing. The 2009/2011 teams were more living on the edge - flashy and always counting on the big play. This team seems much more like pound it with Ingram (see Deuce) and throw out to a WR or Kamara every now and then. That means more ball control and better for the D. 2009/11 seemed like they would score so fast and make the big play so often, the D was always in a whirlwind, and thus you get the ending of the Divisional game at SF.
I think it will be a decent game, but Drew will outdo the rook and be the difference. Tight game, with Saints pulling away late.

Re: Saints 2017
I think the difference will be the Saints defense pressuring Trubisky into mistakes.

Keep talking boys, I want plenty of crow for the BBQ because there is no way we should win the game on paper.

Why not? Bears are limited offensively but have a good defense. Saints are hardly some sort of juggernaut...I'd give the Bears ~50% chance to win if they win turnover battle.windywave wrote:Keep talking boys, I want plenty of crow for the BBQ because there is no way we should win the game on paper.

Saints offense is relatively substandard as well. Saints are and should be favored, but this isn't some David/Goliath matchup.windywave wrote:The defense is substandard for a bears team.

Re: Saints 2017
5.5? In Chicago maybe ? Saints by 8.5 and I'll take the over. The Bears are terrible. Trubisky is a star on my bad QB league team. He had 4 completions in a win. 4. The saints will win by 20.windywave wrote:But isn't that what you would say if you were sandbagging?long green wrote:But this isn't sandbagging.
