If our rushing game is on and we end up getting us touchdowns, we should win.
But, field goals are not going to be enough against the Saints offense.

I know we are all expecting fireworks from Kaep and a big passing duel today. However I suspect we're going to own these guys running the ball. We're going to shut down their running backs. Brees will keep it interesting. Hopefully we get an early lead and just start mauling them wiht the run. It's going to be a tough game today though. homefield in the Dome will be tough to handle. Even when you play lights out d on the saints they have a way of creeping back.
We don't need a passing duel to beat them...we can win with the typical Harbaugh "three phases of the game" approach.
Getting into a track meet with the Saints will lose us the game. We cann win with balance, field position and time of possession. Having a running QB adds an extra intangible to the equation if used correctly. Even great defenses hate running QBs.

If The smith bros have a big game, and we hit our average running, i think we win going away! Go 9ers!!

Simplify the audibles...I'm sure they worked on this during practice. More time with the first unit should have Kap ready.

especially since we don't make field goals from 40-49 yards out anymore.

The Saints O-line is not the Bears O-line. We need a consistent rush from both ends to get to Brees. It'll be tough...he's great at reading the blitz and doesn't hold the ball too long.

I'm actually kind of glad that that security blanket is gone for Harbaugh, he now less choice to settle.

That Saints offense is even faster in the dome. We have to make the tackle. They will catch a few on us, but it's critical to make those tackles to limit them.

Saints might start their 3rd string RT, Nicks is no longer there at G, and Aldon RUINED the LT last year.
Brees shouldn't be able to take a 5 step drop all day.

we can not have any drive killing penalties called against us,, we can also not allow any drive extending calls on our defense. so important to keep thier offense off the field. i like our defense very much but maybe for today, the best defense is a good ball control offense. as long as they are weak vs the run, maybe we should test that first instead of coming out and airing all of these bombs so many think we should do right off the bat. i love alex and i think he deserves to be the starter this year but i am not stupid. i saw what kid did vs the rams and then the saints so i think he NEEDS to start this game , the coaches and we fans NEED to see how he can play away from the comforts of home, in a nasty dome vs , probably, a blitzing defense,, with the topper being a bunch of rapid head lice infested saints fans. i just think it is sooooo key to get off to a good start on both sides of the ball and be READY to play this game,,, unlike what occured that last time we played in a dome
