Saints 8.5 Point Favorites Over The Chargers (WK 5 Pre-Game Discussion)

[gzubeck]

No Ekeler for us and they may have Michael Thomas back - not good.
Sean Payton vs Anthony Lynn - not good
Their DL vs our OL - not good
Tyrod could possibly return this week - not good

All around it doesn't look good.
We've got this one!

Are you kidding? It would be great to see Tyrod in there. We can see what he really is like against a real opponent you would face in the playoffs. If we get smoked we get smoked! In the long run I see that as a good thing!

I remember that...hit him right in the brisket, but his head snapped back, and the refs thought he hit his facemask....still pissed about that one...

Yeah, you're right, I remember now, Brees' head did snap back and that drew the flag but replays showed it was a clean hit. A bitter pill that is still hard to swallow.

While the quick hitters seem like a good idea, they can spell disaster for a rookie who is still learning to read defenses. ......

yes, that crossed my mind. Just don’t want to see him so deep in the pocket for too long. The dump off passes from there can be dangerous too.

Herbert the starter permanently!

lol...... taylor has a history of never beating good teams that can score points...... Herbert is kind of QB that has a chance to beat a good team like NO......

also, the only way to open up our running game is with a QB who is an actual threat to complete passes anywhere on the field..... Taylor is far too limited..... taylor does not scare any defense..... lol

I was being sarcastic but also understanding that Lynn might not be playing with a full deck here. Way to reliant on Bradley plus he lets his biases guide his self destructive tendencies. Maybe he wants Tyrod to go out and Flop and then he can say the switch is legit to Herbie. Lose the locker room for a game and then win it for the rest of the season. Who Knows what's going on in Lynn's mind these days.

It's going to be Herbert again - that improves our chances a bit. I think this game is really important - 2-3 is way better than 1-4. At 1-4 there's very little chance of making the playoffs.

IF TT gets the nod over Herb and loses, Lynn will simply justify it by saying he was "rusty" or some crap like that and he will continue to be the starter for at least another week if not 2.

No need for debate anymore. Herbert is the starter until he can't play anymore for the rest of the season!
