I bet you know all about “mediocre” and “bottom of the barrel” so I’ll defer to your expert opinion.

And you’re the one bringing up previous playoff records like they have any impact on this year. I’m talking about what team can run the ball and stop the run THIS YEAR which will have an impact in these upcoming playoff games.

I'm talking about past performances by your choking team. Something that never seems to change, the road choking.

We choked at home the first couple of times we made the playoffs under Mora, that eventually changed. Who’s to say the road record won’t improve?

Apple was expected to be out after he went down last week so with Janoris Jenkins manning that spot, I’m anticipating a lot of man coverage considering his limited knowledge of the playbook.

Bell has been out the last few weeks and Gardner-Johnson (one of our rookies) has been playing exceptional ball in his absence so keep an eye out for #22.

Williams being out is the one that throws a wrench in the plan. I’m wondering what we’ll do to mitigate that. I’m wondering if they might possibly move Gardner-Johnson to FS and have another young guy (J.T. Gray) who’s a standout special teamer play at SS.

Possibly having Peat and Warford back is huge, but I’d honestly rather have them both sit this week (they both were out last week) and be fully healthy for the playoffs.

I mean, you really want to expand beyond Sean Payton? Okay.

The Saints are 1-7 all-time in road playoff games. 

That better?

What I’m saying is our home playoff record went from 1-3 to 7-4. Who’s to say the road playoff record can’t do the same? 

The last 4 road playoff games were decided by one possession, 3 of those 4 were by 5 points or less. It happens.

I want that 1k/1k badly.  He's talked about it since the offseason. With a modest outing he gets the 1k/1k club.  With a monster outing he can catch CJ2k's yards from scrimmage record. 2505 IIRC is the number and CMC has 2297.  209 yards from scrimmage?  Doable.

and he punched the ground and had to have surgery, and then got hurt again, and can't play the run.  maybe he will be able to.  we'll see.   i don't think anyone can say it was a home run pick yet, not by any means. marty took a project in the first round.   we'll see if he ever fits in

Punching the crowd and getting himself hurt doesn't take away the fact that he was productive when the coaches played him. We also knew he wasn't going to be as strong vs the run as he was vs the pass. It was far from a home run pick, but all players are projects when they come out. First rounders are typically players that can contribute right away, and since we wanted him to get to the QB he did that.

Hopefully we have a staff that doesn't shove him into the dog house next season and only allows him to act as a gunner

I think the idea is more weather related. A dome team like New Orleans probably doesn't want to play outside, possibly in the snow, in January. 

You could argue that the key players (Thomas, Ohio State; Brees Purdue) have past experience in the cold where they performed at a high level.
