    Exactly.

    Baltimore thought after killing Pittsburgh that they could take it easy coming into Nashville. They thought they could walk all over us.

    If you were paying attention to the Steelers the week they beat us, they used up their allowed padded practices for the year on getting ready for us. That's when I knew we were in for it.

    I think the Saints will be a flat team on sunday having just played 2 high profile nationally televised games at home. I think we will see the team that lost to the bucs and the Rams.

    Very simple, play a half court game and keep the ball out of Brees' hands. Limit their number of possessions.

    It seems odd to some to say this but we have to stop the run early. If they are gashing us on first down we are in trouble. At least take the run away and minimize the effectiveness of the play action.

    We have major matchup issues with Sproles and Graham. I think our CBs can hold their own against those WRs.

    We have to go into Fisher vs Colts mode. Go for it on 4th down, kick onsides, score EVERY possession.

    If you look at their games against the Bucs, Rams and Falcons you will see that the Saints leading rusher had 22yds, 23yds, and 29 yds respectively. Also the opponents all rushed for over 100yds. The Bucs forced 2 FGs and the Falcons forced the Saints into 4FGs.

    stop the run and run the ball and don't turn the bal over and we will be in the game.

    If we can't run the ball early and hasselbeck has to throw,this game could get ugly.

    All I know is that we need to be at our best in all 3 phases. We need to treat this as a playoff game. We lose and our season is over. We win and we can bang with the best of em and have just as good a chance as anybody else.

    like Roll said, stop the run first, make them one-dimensional and not allow them to do everything they want.

    We bit on the playaction WAY to much against the Bills. Fitzpatrick wasn't good enough to take advantage but Brees will exploit it.
