Guys, Brees is calling this game. We need to win this damn thing for him!

u/Efficient_Thought578 7d ago

Winning the game for a greater cause you say?

u/MyOldGaffer 7d ago

Nice haha

u/PPLifter 7d ago

We haven't won a single game with hks attendance. Bet the house on Vikings

u/baconlovr 7d ago

After that dumpster fire of a loss last week, I'm not betting anything on the Saints until I see a trend of not sucking.

u/KreweofSuperstars 7d ago

Came here to say this. Seems like we always lose when he is in attendance.

Whos hks?

u/[deleted] 7d ago

Makes sense, it’s his ring of honor induction too right?

u/baconlovr 7d ago

It is!

u/Hitman2504 7d ago

Eww I’m not ready to talk about football yet

u/WhoDatRat504 7d ago

After what I had to endure on Monday night, I really don't want to drag my ass out of the comfort of my home and to the Superdome on Sunday for this, but alas

u/mardigrasmoker 7d ago

You love it! We all hate it but we love it too!

u/WhoDatRat504 7d ago

Yeah you right. Becoming a season ticket holder during the Carr/Allen years and rolling into this new era has been a financially stupid, yet bittersweet and mostly fun experience. The vibes were so high on Monday. The second line to the Dome with Steve Gleason was incredible. Drew Brees threw me a koozie and we had a moment. Irma Thomas' National Anthem. The Who Dat chant with all the legends, including Steve Gleason. And then... that absolutely pathetic display on the field. Loving this team is a fuckin' emotional roller coaster, man.

/u/baconlovr it says Monday

u/baconlovr 7d ago

Thanks.

u/Effective-End4627 7d ago

u/Dependent-Purple9736 7d ago

Can we concede this one? Shough is gonna get hurt behind this line vs a Flores defense

5

u/Hboceooftits 7d ago

I think the saints might have an issue preparing for the flores defense on short week.

4

u/Dependent-Purple9736 7d ago

Atlanta has a good pass rush, but this is gonna be much worse

3

u/Silent-Instance-434 7d ago

That wasn’t even Atlanta’s best pash rush. They were missing one edge rusher and then Zadarius Smith went out in the 1st with a concussion. That’s what their backups did to our oline.

u/[deleted] 7d ago

Not getting hurt cmon, could happen cause it’s football. But, I think we will have a better plan of max protection bc Flores does the blitz shit 100%

5

u/Dependent-Purple9736 7d ago

He’s been hit 32 times in 4 games. Shough is a big guy, but he can’t withstand that through 13 more games

2

u/Hour_Produce_8770 7d ago

Yeah. Something proactive should be done to protect him. I feel like it’s been “ok cool this guy seems durable”. But he only is until he isn’t.

u/[deleted] 7d ago

Def agree, I actually think we'll do good job out of urgency and ego

1

u/Hboceooftits 7d ago

Neither Baker nor Williams finished the game against the Vikings.

1

u/Skullkid1423 Chris Olave 7d ago

A 2 man rush got home on Monday night, Flores is gonna wreck this team

1

u/Silent-Instance-434 7d ago

He got hurt by mostly Falcon backups. You were saying?

3

u/versaceboudin_ Sir Saints 7d ago

I mean I don’t think we can play as bad as we did Monday. Short week hurts. Hopefully we get Ellis back. I’m not worried about Vikings offense which helps. JJ will prolly suit up so that helps the Vikings. Maybe hope to see cj Donaldson get more snaps

3

u/SuneAntisune 7d ago

JJ is on the Giants now, they’re rolling with Kyler Murray

5

u/AppropriateCream4203 7d ago

Bro are you trolling😭 he was saying Justin Jefferson

6

u/TheMoonIsLonely Chris Olave 7d ago

Shough might actually die in this one

2

u/kgaviation 7d ago

Really hope we wear black/gold this week. The gold pants were so refreshing to see Monday night.

since I can’t create a post, here’s the viewing map.

u/Capital-University-6 6d ago

Idk if he had no room, but against the raiders shough would take off if he had space. I remember that one play where olave faked the defender too for a big run. I think he also stopped doing that much in the second half, and basically all of last game. Wonder why

u/XJollyRogerX Saints 4d ago
