Ravens @ Saints (1 Viewer)

[Raider Nation]

Anybody have opinions on how Ray Ray & Co. match up with the New Orleans offense?

Do we expect them to cause Brees/Deuce/Reggie and the WRs some headaches?

I have the Baltimore defense, and I gotta tell ya... I'm looking elsewhere this week.

The tough thing is what changes, if any, were made to the Ravens offense in their BYE week?

I mean, if it is a close game, then they have a shot to win a close one.

But, if NO gets out to a10+ lead, then this is where both the Ravens O and D struggle, IMHO.

I think the Ravens need to come out guns blazing, get a lead to allow them to pound Jamal.

If they try pounding it first, then I'm afraid they will stall and allow NO to get the lead I mentioned earlier.

Make sense?

Of course. Problem is, most people still don't respect the Saints' defense. Gary Gibbs has done a great job with them, and I'm not sure Baltimore has the goods to sustain drives against them. Meanwhile, Brees has the patience to take what's there, and pick his way down the field with quick-hit runs and short throws. I'm having a hard time seeing how the Ravens win this game. From a gambling standpoint, N.O. -2 looks pretty sweet.

I agree, there is way too much respect given to the Ravens D and not enough given to the Saints D.

Bush and Colston will have a field day against the Ravens if the Saints get the lead.

If the Saints score 17 points, they'll win.
