It's the one team in the league he's never beaten in his entire career. I think it'll be a really fun game. The Ravens struggled to stop the run vs Cleveland because Pierce was out and Joe Flacco showed who he was by only putting up 9 points. But there is one he hasn't beaten his entire career and it's them. They haven't played since 2014--and Brees lit them up for 3 TDs and over 400 yards passing. Before that, it was 8 years ago. They've played 4 times in 15 years. That's not much of a monkey. Edited October 18, 2018 by Mr. WEO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you have restated my point--lack of wins against a team he has scarcely played has no affect on his chances of beating them this weekend.

I'm not for sure why you took me to say he has no chance of beating them this weekend though because I never said that. I only stated the fact that it's the only team in the league he hasn't beaten.

H2o Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 I fully expect the NO offense to be too much for the Baltimore defense. Brees and the Saints will put up 30+ winning by at least 2 scores. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing in the Saints favor though is the Saints defense doesn't have to be good. If the Flacco that played against the Browns shows up, the Ravens are cooked. To me the bigger matchup in this game is the Saints defense vs the Ravens Offense. What units will show up?

I think that having the two headed monster back of Ingram and Kamara will open up the field. I think it keeps Baltimore off balance leading to 30+ and a rather decisive win. We shall see of course.

I think all of us here want that (and any fan not from NE) 3 hours ago, Mr. WEO said: These are all better games. I think Brees will school this D. There's no defense he (as opposed to Mariota) hasn't seen. I do like Brees. They are putting something in the water to keep these guys going... Oh wait, it's not the water but the crazy protect the all-star QB at all costs. the lesser, younger guys can get mugged. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Playoff implications matter from here on out. I think the following order has more interest that the Saints Ravens. 1 New England @ Chicago 2 Cincinnati @ Kansas City 3 Los Angeles R @ San Fran ** 4 Carolina @ Philadelphia 5 New Orleans @ Baltimore 5 Minnesota @ New York J ** CJ Bethard Can’t say I agree about NE@CHI. Not sold on the Bears and I can see them getting exposed this week. On top of that, it’s October now so we should see the usual unstoppable Brady. Wouldn’t surprise me if NE wins this game by > 20.

26CornerBlitz Posted October 18, 2018 Author Share Posted October 18, 2018 NFL Week 7 game picks: Chiefs over Bengals; Saints top Ravens New Orleans Saints 24, Baltimore Ravens 20 4:05 p.m. ET (FOX) | M&T Bank Stadium (Baltimore) Fantastic matchup in Baltimore, with Drew Brees and the Saints' scary passing offense facing the most prolific pass rush in football. Perhaps the coolest aspect of the Ravens' sackapalooza last week in Nashville was that 10 of the 11 sacks came on blitzes. Only three other teams (Green Bay, Arizona and Dallas) have compiled 10-plus sacks on blitzes all season. Marcus Mariota drowned in the pocket before ever identifying where those guys were coming from, or who dunked him. That level of confusion won't be as easy to manufacture against Brees. Sean Payton definitely has his work cut out for him, yet an oversimplified solution would be to use his running backs -- particularly Alvin Kamara -- more than normal. Move those LBs out of the gaps and force them to play in space. Establishing Mark Ingram on the ground early will also force the pass rushers to hesitate.

Nor am I but thats what makes it so interesting. Can NE score against a good Defense in Soldier field (if they still call it that) ? Will Khalil Mack sack Brady? Did the light finally turn on for Mitch? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
