Raiders Vs Saints
- Thread starter ColdBlooded
- Start date
I honestly think the Saints will win in a close game
we have a chance to win...
I think we need to start off by establishing the running game with Fargas back... if we can make their defense worry about that then we can open up the backfield so Jamarcus can start airin it out against a not so great secondary
if I had to put my money on it though... Saints...

Im going to say Raiders win 24 - 21 in close game think the saints offense line is going to give up a few sacks in this game with a lot of hurries. Dont think Reggie bush or Deuce are really going to get off to much on the ground and I think the raiders secondary match up more then well with the recievers that the saints have. The raiders o-line have to keep the preasure off J-Russ or going to get beat up like JT did when they played the 9ers. Just have to watch out for Reggie on the kickoffs and punt returns guy has been a beast all year with that. Close game but think the raiders should win I think they have played better teams in the Bills and Chargers and should have won those games so they should pull this game out.
Hall better step it up cuz we all know he has a target on his back. Drew bress is coming into this game with a hot hand if he gets off going to be a long day. I do think the raiders can put some pressure on his ass but I think the forth quarter is where is going to count two fourth quater leads blown in a row is not good at all. But coming out of the bye week maybe they have had sometime to heal I know Warren and Burgess were both hurt hopefully they come in health and play four quarters of football instead of three. Namdi and Route were also hurt coming back healthy but if Hall keeps playing soft zone Brees going to have field day on his ass.

Saints are pretty beat up... No Sederick Ellis either? And we may have Fargas returning... that's not good for New Orleans. I think we're going to get chunks of yardage on the ground. I like Fargas' straight ahead running style, if he's healthy he's going to have a pretty good game against these Saint cats.
Don't get me wrong, I give the Saints D a lot of credit for stopping Peterson but it looked like to me that Peterson kept trying to hit the edges instead of just running it hard up the gut. We'll see what happens but I agree if they shut our running game down like they did Minnesota's yeah we may have to go to the air a bit more... their secondary is having trouble covering right now.
Anyone get any updates on the Saints injuries???? I am hearing that Shockey and Colston practiced and they're saying that Colston may be a lock to play. But I am not too worried about Colston because Asomugha might be locking him down. I am worried about D. Hall on D. Henderson though... They will try Henderson deep so hopefully he doesn't burn D. Hall like he did Nate Clements.
