Stopping Brees

Home team is 10-2 so far this year on Thursday night now I believe.

Only losses for the home team have been the Giants and Cardinals, two of the worst teams in the league. 

Thursday night football is a joke. 

Hold up. Just realized both teams played last Thursday night so they were on equal playing field going into the match.

I retract my previous statement about Stopping Brees on a Thursday night. Saints got beat plain and simple.

Thursday night football is still a joke overall though.

Agreed. It's just too short of rest to actually get a quality game in. Not to mention you literally don't have enough time to gameplan (especially if you are the away team). I would be all for doing away with them.

I don't really think it matters that much. It's not like strong teams haven't suffered mid / late season losses before (heck, we did in 2015) and recovered from them. The Saints are probably still the best team in the NFC and last night's game did nothing to make us better.

Said it elsewhere: When we lose a game, you get people saying it was a wake up call and we'll be better for it. But when someone else loses, it's an unmitigated disaster that's going to destroy their season.

That was a vintage Carolina panther performance

[Peppers90 NC]

Both those teams played last Thursday as well, so that has little to nothing to do with last night

[RumHam]

They reviewed last night how much pressure Dallas was getting and they weren't getting a lot. Brees counters pressure by dink and dunking. You have to look at the secondary as I knew someone would make a post like this. No one was open last night. Dallas also maybe many one-on-one tackles in open space. Kamara never broke loose. They did a great job with their gameplan and holding the ball on offense. Dallas played man and matched up well because of their speed. It's not the pressure. Again, we don't have the personnel to match up. Brees will destroy our zone defense and get the ball out way before anyone can touch him. The Saints were NOT exposed last night, they just got outplayed and outcoached. Dallas wanted it more. Meanwhile, we'll lose 77-17 on a Monday Night b/c of this staff and personnel which boils down to Hurney.

This team can't get up for poo, no matter how many different t-shirts they wear or what music Cam plays at practice. These old vets simply don't want it anymore. Cam does, but then something holds the team back, whether it be playcalling, special teams or decision making. It's a mess and simply the talent on offense is the reason we even have six wins.

Yeah, the Saints weren't exposed. Dallas simply wanted it more and they stated that all week. Also, had this game been in the dome, i'm sure Dallas would have gotten bullshit calls and the last interception would have been overturned b/c Katrina Rules.

Hurney did his job. Hurney wanted Donte and Ron didn't. Another Donte and we could play more man and less zone. They didn't prioritize speed in their corners in years past. That speed allows you to press and catch up if they move past you. Catch up speed is like a second chance every play.

Even if players play perfect against the Aints Sean Payton has outcoached Ron every gane the past couple years. I'm sure he circles and smiley faces the dates he'll get to humiliate ol' Ron.

Don't expect to play Thursday night Drew Brees. He'll be ready for the Panthers. They always show up for games vs the Panthers. They seem to take those games personal. That comes from their coach.

[ickmule]

We don’t. Saints will steamroll us. Everyone wants to rag on Dallas, but they are a pretty good team and are playing good ball right now.

I heard Kamara got his bell rung pretty bad and they never checked him out.  Anyone heard anymore about this?
