Saints What's your TOP concern about the Saints between now & playoffs? (1 Viewer)

[boutrous]

I don't live my life in worry, but I believe the Saints will only lose if they beat themselves or try to coast in a game assuming they are going to win. Other than that, I'm off of carbs so I worry about not getting enough TACOES

Went with Injuries, but also "Other"; should have included "Questionable Officiating" as one of the choices. I honestly think the league wants the Rams to win it all to help bolster the L.A. market.

I will now remove my aluminium foil hat, and go use it to make a baked potato for lunch.

I legit believe that as long as we continue to be relatively healthy, we won't lose in the playoffs, even if we gotta go in hostile territory.

Our defense is lierally getting better each week. And defense travels. It's the most important thing for us. Once Davenport is fully comfortable pushing off on that toe, Armstead and our OL stays healthy, and we work Brandon Marshall into the offense fully...

I think we won't be messwithable.

I said injuries but I think its a bit more specific. Key injuries could derail us. MT, AK, Cam Jordan, Lattimore, Drew of course... Losing any of those players could sink us. Losing Terron hurt but we did win two games without him. I think we could take a ding on the OL and still be OK for a SB run.

Armstead......

Injuries is the obvious answer, but aside for that I'm concerned with the play of the receivers not named Michael Thomas. I'm almost convinced that a lot of what happed against Dallas had to do with Drew's trust in the receivers' being where they were supposed to be. Even on the one touchdown we had both Kirkwood & Smith ran the same route.

Health, period. The X's and O's tend to take care of themselves when our big-time players are truly healthy.

What does any of that have to so with time of possession? ?

 

[Bespoke]

Health of the Offensive line for sure is the top concern for me going down the stretch.

right behind it is Receivers ability to get seperation against press man coverage close behind.

We were leveled by the Cowboys defense in normal temps, we seemed to have our will broken in that game.

We MUST get at least the 2 seed.

It takes more than 10 minutes to break a team's will. Dallas' defense played complimentary football, with a strong pass rush and very good (and sometimes illegal) DB play.

But you're right, that no 2 seed is vital.

 

[VinSaint]

My top concern is that we lose games.

 

[Saintsfan8989]

I worry about Payton's play calling. Not all the time. But I don't like how he tries trick plays at inopportune times. Nor am I a fan of always running on 2nd down. Better teams will pick up on this predictability.

 

[granola]

Injuries. I have resigned myself that we will most likely get the 2 seed.

 

[NOLAJM504]

Wide receivers besides MT getting separation, and that the recent dropping of passes doesn’t become a trend.

Injuries. I have resigned myself that we will most likely get the 2 seed.

Not necessarily. If the Rams lose to the Bears and the Saints run the table (which I could see happening), you get the No. 1 seed. The Panthers are struggling and Newton is playing hurt, the Bucs don't have the defense to stop your offense nor the offense to keep up with yours and as the Chargers demonstrated this past Sunday, the Steelers are quite beatable and they are now without RB James Conner.

If your team stays healthy the sky's the limit.
