[Watson]

Noon on FOX.

Surely we can't lose three games in a row off a last minute drive, can we? Can we?

Go Saints! OS Survival Pool Pick of the Week.

New Orleans loss at home against Minnesota after dropping their first two? Nah...no way that could possibly happen.

What's the status of adrian?

I expected much more out of the Saints Defense this year. Worst in pass defense, bottom third in rush defense.

I believe it'll be a close game leaning in the Vikings favor if Peterson plays. If he doesn't, I'll lean in favor of the Saints.

As of right now, active and ready to play.

Saints are gonna light it up in the dome me thinks. This is the perfect opponent for them to beat on and get their confidence back.

Despite the Saints Defense' best efforts to try and give the game away, Drew Brees busts out the Captain America shield and starts slinging the Football with lightspeed velocity all around the Field for all kinds of scores...

Saints 3,207

Vikings 1,234

No Adrian. Revising my prediction

Saints - 41
Vikings - 9

Only half kidding.

I'm confident in the offense showing up in this game at home. Hopefully the Defense gets the memo, maybe hearing the crowd will remind them they should give a ****.

I think Asiata is good for at least 3.1 ypc this week.

Don't forget the Saints are also without Ingram. Both teams down a RB

In a comparison with AP... and what each means to their team's offense, I think it's completely fine to forget the Saints are also without Ingram.

It's not like he puts up AD numbers, but Ingram has carried the load of the Saints rushing game. Of the Saints 313 yards he's contributed 143 and is the only rusher to put up more than 60.

Pierre Thomas is a better back than Ingram but he's aging and he doesn't have it in him to take the ball on three straight dives all game. Khiry will have to step up if the Saints want to have a competent rushing game.
