Opinions: How do we beat the Saints?

[FugAllY'all]

We have the offensive formula to beat them. We are a high scoring offense, but we do it with running plays and long drives, not big pass plays where we score in 2-3 plays. We can put up points while keeping Brees on the sideline and our defense rested. 

Last year we were able to stifle their run game and eventually, make it tough enough on their passing game to get off the field a few times. That's the formula. Stop the run, score on long drives, and pray to Breesus for an INT or two.

Did I miss a hurricane or some other disaster in New Orleans that would require the NFL to once again give the Saints a free ride to the playoffs?

Some pretty obvious holding calls, a couple offensive PI calls and the Rams are a pretty decent defensive team who don't talk a lot. But they were chirping at the refs yesterday for good reason.

Fug Brees and Payton.

Waterlog our field the morning of kickoff against them?

 

You really have to account for Kamara (we did in the playoffs last season), Brees (all but impossible), and Thomas (also, almost impossible).

D-line pressure and DBs need to shutdown their WRs.

[DeAngelo Beason]

The only way to beat them is for the d line to get pressure.  If we can't, it ain't gonna happen.

 

Either that or we beat them in a shootout.

Peters crys to the refs literally every time he gets beat. Show me the OPI. Dude is being asked to play press man and he's a soft zone corner. He's not physical and he's getting bodied.

Point out the OPI.

All I know is if we need to come out guns blazing at the Monday night game and punch them in the mouth. They beat us three times last year and were gloating like they won the SB. Their local newspaper was rubbing that in. Players need to remember last year and the crowd monday night needs to give them hell.
