Saints back in the dome in prime time. When playing at home in prime time they have won 11 straight and 14 out of 15, with that 1 loss coming from Dallas in 2009 when they put a halt the Saints undefeated season. I'm expected this to be a exciting game to watch, the last few times these teams have played they were very close games
S Roman Harper (knee) Full DE Tyrunn Walker (knee) Full DE Tom Johnson (hip) Full LB Curtis Lofton (hamstring) Full TE Josh Hill (foot) Full RB Darren Sproles (concussion) Full S Kenny Vaccaro (chest) FULL WR Marques Colston (knee) Limited S Malcolm Jenkins (knee) Did Not Practice G Jahri Evans (hip) LIMITED TE Jimmy Graham (elbow/Foot) LIMITED LB David Hawthorne (toe) Did Not Practice DE Cameron Jordan (ankle) Did Not Practice
If Jordan and Jenkins do not play it will hurt. Jordan is their best pass rusher and if Jenkins is out that means Harper will play, and I'm not looking forward to seeing him on the field

Outstanding performance. We dominated in every phase of the game. I was especially pleased with the run game,both offensively and defensively. On offense, we ran the ball with authority. Last night looked like our 2011 offense. Ingram had a career game, hopefully he can build on it. It would be a great help to our O if Ingram could get going. Defensively, after letting Chris Ivory gash us last week, we really turned it around by only allowing 89 yards on the ground.
I'm glad that this coaching staff can see the problems with our team, and put forth effort to fix them. I know fixing problems sounds like generic stuff that every coaching staff does, but it's not. I've seen tons of coaching staffs never try anything new, too stubborn to stray away from their original game plan.
Example: The Titans really try to be a power run team, but despite their OL struggles, they still try to run constantly. They refuse to switch it up and let Locker air it out.
Rob Ryan realized the run defense was a problem, and he adjusted accordingly.

Next week, we have SF at the dome. Really excited to see if Ingram can keep it going. I can agree that drafting him wasn't the best move, but I've always been a fan of him regardless. I want him to succeed.

This is the best they've looked offensively and defensively. Other than the Sproles fumble it was a great performance overall. I really hope the run game can keep this up, it will help especially in late close games. Saints couldn't run out the clock against New England which obviously lead to their loss. Ingram looked great, but its just 1 game, still not sold on him. Don't get me wrong, I am rooting for him to play well but he just needs to prove more to me

Fun fact. 3 of the top 5 fantasy RBs (not PPR) were on the Saints this week.

Vaccaro missed practice Thursday and will likely miss the game on Sunday against the 49ers. Benjamin Watson is the other player ruled out for Sunday with injury.
Other than that, everybody's relatively healthy and ready to go. Sucks that Vaccaro can't go, but all things considered we're a healthy team right now.

I wish Watson the best, he's been very solid for the team so far. Not having Vaccaro will hurt some but they should be ok for this week, they definitely need him 100% for the trip to Seattle
