NFC South Showdown October 8, 2006: TB @ NO

gridmonster · 10-06-2006, 08:20 AM

There is a House in New Orleans, They Call the SuperDome . . .

TB regroup here for this interdivisional matchup? It's cliche, but this could be their season here. A Gruden-coached team with its back up against the wall . . .

Then there's Louisiana Law: Payton, Deuce, Bush & Brees. Payton
and Brees is a tremendously exciting HC/QB pairing. I've always thought of
Brees as a fine qb that hadn't yet found a team he's in complexion with.
+the running game (which will require developmental patience with the rookie. Didn't Bush fumble in the RZ vs. CAR? and didn't they lose that game
by less than a TD? ~ but they have to get him the ball. With a great rookie
QB you might say, watch your mentor for a season from the bench but I
don't think it works that way with RBs. I think there you need the plays.
Hopefully they're executed without too much more overhead.

I think this should be a great game to watch . . .

Tampa Bay has looked awful and the Saints have looked just the opposite, but the beauty of the game is that any team can win any game at any time.

I predict a 7 point win for the Saints.

The Saints should win easily

Powers890 · 10-06-2006, 09:04 PM

they might win, but it will not be a landslide....

fsw608 · 10-06-2006, 10:34 PM

that is crazy tampa bay is starting a rookie quaterback, against a real good defence, Tampa Bay may not score at all!

welcome to boards fsw608 . . . goofy things can happen interdivisionally with
a team needing a win as bad as TB. It's a cliche but this game 'is their season' . . . but sometimes the dog can want the bone as much as it wants
and it doesn't make any difference.

TB's defense certainly isn't as scary as it used to be, and that O-line could be in for a long day versus the saints front 7.

I wasn't expecting much from Gradkowski but he did enough to give us a shot on the road against a good team.

Who Dat? · 10-09-2006, 07:42 AM

Gradowski looked good..real good on the deep ball especially. I was surprised at how well he performed and sorta more surprised at the faith Gruden showed in him to come out firing rather than just Cadillac-ing it to death. Heck of a football game.

jcurry3rd · 10-09-2006, 08:36 PM

not sure of who's coming out party was bigger Reggie or the new polish cannon gradowski not sure if i am spelling it right he is the first sign of life in the New Sombrero this season!!

Looks to be a game where both coaches want to establish the run early on.
Can NO achieve payback in Tampa's house?

i see new orleans taking this one relatively easily
