This game is basically the Saints season so they have to show up. I'm a Saints fan and the biggest problem we will face is the pass rush. We may have to run 2 TEs a lot and also do a lot of chipping with the backs to give Brees time. Kaeperick is dangerous right now. He doesn't have the pressure of being a full-time starter on him so he can just go out and play ball. The Saints have to figure out a way to run/screen effectively or it will be very dificult. Our D will give up yards, but they have been tough when it mattered most so hopefully they keep it up. Our kicker is another liability. If it's close he may tank the game for us :( here's to a good game and healthy teams at the end. Should be another classic like last year.

Welcome!
I agree that they are still in dire straights at 5-5. And it's been a long time since we've beat the Saints in New Orleans. And they are one of the hottest teams in league. This game will be tough.
And our tie eliminates our tie-breaking situations with the Pack and the Bears, so we do need this game.

this will be a very tough game to win. I'm just happy it's an afternoon game.

That is huge! TV networks probably going to make it a nationally televised game.
Can't Wait!

This game is a much bigger worry to me than the Bears game was. That Saints offense is still very potent when it wants to be, and while the D has been bad it is improving and they are at home this time...with all the motivation in the world. I still like our chances as long as our boys dont lose focus after last nights woodshed beating of the Bears. Still we gotta have either this one or the Pats game...maybe bolth in case we have trouble up in Seattle later on...which is real possiblity considering home Seattle is a whole other animal than away Seattle.

The dome is going to be LOUD and it will most likely have an effect on our O. The niners have to jump on them early to keep the noise down.

Game of the year for us as far as I'm concerned! I think this game is the key to us winning the division because a win this week sparks a 4 or 5 game winning streak in my opinion. I also believe the Saints held Sproles out last game to make sure he's ready for the 49ers. As others have mentioned pressure on Brees will be the key to the game. The Saints have established the run game recently but I'm not fooled and our defense won't be either. They wont be able to pound at us like the Vikes or Giants. They are the type of team that runs to keep the defense honest but they really want to pass and we fair well against those types of teams normally. Brees will have to throw 40-50x and if we put the clamps on Graham primarily we win. I'm confident our corners can handle their receivers.
