Can we beat the Saints?

[Rubi]

Losing Samuel and now Byrd. That’s a lot to overcome. 

If they allow CMC to play slot that’s a big boost to the passing game

We can have a chance if we keep it close and then get the ball last.

Saints are a damn good team...still hate them tho.... we'd have to do something different on D....it would have to be the perfect storm...

[Khyber53]

Same old, same old.

Hopefully someone else will knock them out before we meet. If not, it's going to be dicey but I can't see us dropping a third one to them in the same season.

Yes but it's something we've done to a couple other stellar rushing attacks this season. The only two we haven't shut down are the Saints and Eagles, and I bet that pisses our guys off. They want that 3rd chance against the Saints. But this is what I'm worried about: 

compared to the rest of the league, the saints' running backs are on a completely different level...rushing and passing.

it's the same affect double trouble had on the league in 2008, but only better.

After the first loss to the Saints, 99% predicted us to lose to the Patriots in Foxboro, including fans. http://nflpickwatch.com/?week=4

We won, in Superbowl-last second field goal, fashion.  We've beaten as many playoff teams as anybody.  WE CAN BEAT THE SAINTS.  If Cam has a good day, we can beat ANYONE.

If we can figure out how to tackle Kamara then yes

Three interceptions in the first game, a punt return fumble and a fumble when we were punting in the second.  If we can eliminate those types of mistakes, we can have a shot to beat them at the end.

Panthers will not get beat by the Saints 3 times in 1 season. I promise you that

[Dhagans06]

I would love to say yes but if Rivera has an extension before the game then we loose.

I think we have way too many proud players to let the saints offense do what they did to us last time again. 

Also, I've been imagining us getting our vets into the playoffs all season. If you think Pep has had an incredible year, wait til it's do-or-die playoff time. Same goes for Davis, Munnerlyn, and Adams. These guys know they may never see the playoffs again. These guys love each other and play for each other. If you don't think we're gonna see some play like you'll never play again performances this post-season, I've got news for you.

I think we go off on the Saints and the defense makes some crazy plays. I think we come in with Greg and Ryan Kalil at full speed and Cam ready to make a run. CMC will be used well and hopefully Funch and Byrd will fly.

 

If TD and Peppers don't break Brees in half during the game, then shame on them/us. You don't get a guaranteed playoff trip ever again at their age.

If we don’t shoot ourselves in the foot and the refs give us a fair game then we can most definitely beat them. We had the opportunity to beat them last game and didn’t capitalize. We’ve got Olsen back now though and I think we have a great shot to take them if we come out with 100% focus.

Well, we did hold Winston to just under 400 yds at home, so Brees should be a pc of cake in NO
