Monday Night Football... NYG is coming in the game banged up but in no way can we overlook them. Their front four is still dominant and could be a problem if the line can't protect Drew. We need to win this game to keep on track and ahead of the Falcons. I think Michael Boley being out will be huge especially with Darren Sproles in play.

You're going to eat us alive. Sproles and Graham will be dominant.

While I hope it's a blow out, I'm never the one to get ahead of myself. If you guys can pressure Brees without bringing more than 4, then it will allow you to drop more in coverage to try to match up against the rest of our weapons. Not to mention Eli Manning has been playing pretty damn well this season - Hakeem Nicks & Victor Cruz will be a test for our secondary.

We'll probably put up 21-28 points. If Fewell continues to play the same defense I've seen for the year then it'll be an easy victory for you. I hope I'm wrong.

Yeah I'm pretty nervous for this game, I have a feeling the Giants come out with something to prove after a lot of media talk questioning their motivation the last 2 games. I know they are banged up but the Front 4 is still really talented, and can cause trouble for Brees if our Tackles are not up to the task tonight. We also lost our best Blocking TE, Dave Thomas for the season.

I just have a feeling this game will be close late, and might come down to Brees/Eli in the final possession.

[Giantsfan1080]

I pretty much nailed this one on the head.

[CJSchneider]

Seriously, can I get you to give me the Power-ball numbers?

Man this picture says it all.

Great offense you guys have! Most importantly, I love the aggressive mentality on both sides of the ball!

Hey man thanks for the love, Hopefully things start looking up for the G-Men.. I'd still like to see them come out on top of that Division over the Cowboys. :)

Primetime, SNF.

A chance for us to go 9-3... if we can get out to an early start, I like our chances. Big game especially with the Falcons right behind us.

[CJSchneider]

I'm glad Suh decided to pull a stupid move when he did. Even with him making an appeal, if they cut his suspension in half, he'll still be out.

[Auron]

My only real concern is that it is a short week, and I'm afraid of coming out flat following a big prime time win. After our last big Prime time win, we came out flat with little emotion against the Rams.

I think the team learned from that game, and will prepare better through out the week, plus I'm more comfortable because we are at Home where we seem to play with more Energy regardless.

[zachsaints52]

I dont think it was we played flat against the Rams, its just natural for the Saints to lose to a o'fer team. We did it to the Browns, Rams before, couple other times. We always do it :/

I dont like the matchup of Megatron vs our CBs. Look for Malcolm to be shading to break up the pass. I actually think the best matchup to watch will be Jeff Backus vs Will Smith. Would love for the Manimal to have a impact game.

[CJSchneider]

It's official, Suh will be out for the game.

[diabsoule]

Suh being out is a big help for us. Now all the Saints OL has to worry about is Cliff Avril, Nick Fairley, and Vanden-Bosch.

I think Chris Houston & Louis Delmas not playing is much bigger than Suh being out.. gotta take advantage of their injuries in the secondary. Our defense will be tested with Megatron, Scheffler & Pettigrew, though. Burleson & Young has made plays for the Lions too this year as well. Hopefully, our defense can get to Stafford.

[Flyboy]

Big game tomorrow.. first time to play a game outside since our Tampa Bay loss. Has some makings of a trap game..

Titans trying to get a wild card place in the AFC, Chris Johnson has the potential to do damage although our run defense has thoroughly imroved over the season and the last time we played Hasselback he destroyed our defense (granted, we were depleted A LOT). Plus, the Titans could be able to pressure Brees if they follow the TB & STL approach.. gonna be a good one, though.

The stakes for us to win are high too.. if we win and DET or CHI loses (#TebowTime) then we clinch a playoff spot. If we win and ATL loses (GO CAM!) then we win the NFC South so tons for us to play for. Hopefully, we can come through.

[diabsoule]

Tennessee hasn't beaten a team with a winning record since Week 4 vs the Brown.

lets hope we can wrap up a playoff spot tomorrow

[TitanHope]

Good game guys! My best friend in high school was a Katrina transplant, so he's a big time Saints fan, so I root for ya'll whenever I get the chance. Totally bummed about the loss and was hoping for a great comeback led by Locker, but at least ya'll are an NFC team so the loss won't hurt our tiebreaker chances vs the Bengals and Jets. Best of luck for the rest of the year!

[Flyboy]

Thanks for the love, TitanHope. You're one of my favorite posters here regardless of your team and I was a huge fan of Locker as a prospect so while it sucked that he did pretty well against us, it looks legit. I honestly think he should start over Hasselbeck. Good luck on your AFC Wild Card hunt!
