Let's talk about the Saints.
What?
It's midweek and we don't have a Saints thread? I pretty much have no idea what to expect in this game. The Saints are a pretty terrible team everywhere. They have one good passrusher and the rest of their defense is utter garbage. Their offensive line can't open holes and Mark Ingram is JAG. But, of course, they have the one thing we're vulnerable to: an elite, Hall of Fame quarterback. Brees can light Arrowhead the **** up. We currently have no CBs on this team that can guard Brandin Cooks, a sharp route-running speedster that our corners match up horribly against. Fortunately, they have no other receivers that are serious weapons, but it doesn't matter with Brees. He gets the ball out in a hurry, and roughly 100% of his passes are on target. Brees has seen every coverage, and every blitz. We're probably rolling with another Hali/Ford/Zombo matchup on the edges and that's not going to be enough to get to him. What do you guys know about the Saints? |

Brees already has 1700 yards passing, 14 TDs to 4 INTs.

They're the Raiders with a shittier offensive line and defense but better QB.
Cooks will be a problem. None of our guys have the speed to match him. I hope the safeties are on point for this game.. |

I wouldnt say the Saints have a shittier defense than the Raiders. The Raiders defense is probably the worst in the NFL. At least to this point it has been.

Really Brees throwing it to Cooks is the only real concern - I would think we can shut that chit down but we'll see. A few fun facts going into the game: Chiefs have not lost at Arrowhead since October 18th last year. That's 8 home games in a row and they're 13-2 overall in the last 15 games. So far this season the Chiefs have surrendered 6 points in the second half of games at Arrowhead and 26 points in the second halves of all five games played so far (with more than half of those coming in the Pittsburgh debacle). KC is tied for first with the most interceptions in the NFL and fourth in turnover differential at +5. Drew Brees has a 3TD to 2INT ratio and a 82.8 passer rating on the road (compared to 11TD and 2INT and a 114.3 passer rating at home). When behind by more than one score Drew Brees has a 58.8 completion percentage and a passer rating of 62.7. On grass Drew Brees has a passer rating of 74.7 with 2TD and 2INT. Spencer Ware is fourth in yards-from-scrimmage with an average of 129.2. Tyreek Hill is second in the NFL in punt return yardage and tied for 7th in kickoff returns. |

In Brees' last 9 road games he's thrown 12 TDs to 9 INTs.

I do like the fact that their D is soft. We do well when Smith doesn't have DL in his face all day. |

Pretty funny thread they have over there. Their defense would be better without injuries. Really? Good thing Houston, Mauga, March and Bailey don't really impact our defense much. Also, the play-calling from the OAK game is going to be their identity going forward. Much more running and play-action from heavy sets. They finally started using sherman a lot more as a lead blocker/h-back type.

KC should dominate the LOS on both sides of the ball. NO will have no answer to Spencer Ware/Charles. We will have the advantage on the outside.
As long as they dedicate resources to slowing down Brees and we get a couple turnovers, this ones not even going to be close. |

This is going to be a test for this defense. Snead, Cooks and Thomas are a great group of WRs.
