Our D will keep this a respectable game though.

I can't see our Defense coming in as flat, or the Saints offense as hyped, as last week against the Giants. Your 13, as close as it was, could have easily been way off if the Giants didn't storm out the gate. This week I hope the Skins are the ones that come out fired up in the home opener. The Saints are 1 higher in the ESPN Power Rankings then the Giants, so it would be some redemption to beat them. Maybe quiet down some of the naysayers as well.

Depends on our O line I guess. Has to give JC adequate protection against the NO front line. I can see JC fumbling some balls if he gets sacked like 4-5 times.

I am curious do you think the Saints have a better pass rush than the Giants?

I think if we see anything this week it will be what JZ's learning curve will be as a play caller and game planner. Those seem to be his biggest stumbling blocks.
