The,,.-New,,.-Orleans,,.-Saints,,.-are,,.-12-2,,,.-and,,.-they’ve,,.-won,,.-their,,.-past,,.-two,,.-games,,.-after,,.-the,,.-loss,,.-to,,.-the,,.-Cowboys,,.-ended,,.-their,,.-10-game,,.-winning,,.-streak.
Based,,.-on,,.-some,,.-of,,.-the,,.-questions,,.-this,,.-week,,,.-it’d,,.-be,,.-hard,,.-to,,.-know,,.-the,,.-Saints,,.-are,,.-thriving.,,.-There,,.-were,,.-a,,.-bunch,,.-about,,.-the,,.-offensive,,.-struggles,,.-the,,.-past,,.-three,,.-games,,,.-and,,.-even,,.-one,,.-about,,.-the,,.-draft!
So,,,.-let’s,,.-get,,.-into,,.-it.

—,,.-Colton,,.-(@ColtonSee),,.-December,,.-21,,,.-2018
The,,.-easiest,,.-explanation,,.-is,,.-that,,.-the,,.-Saints,,.-have,,.-played,,.-good,,.-defenses,,,.-particularly,,.-the,,.-Cowboys,,,.-who,,.-have,,.-the,,.-No.,,.-5,,.-defense,,.-in,,.-the,,.-NFL.,,.-The,,.-Buccaneers,,.-have,,.-a,,.-good,,.-defensive,,.-front,,,.-which,,.-was,,.-apparent,,.-in,,.-the,,.-game.,,.-Both,,.-Tampa,,.-Bay,,.-and,,.-Carolina,,.-have,,.-familiarity,,.-as,,.-divisional,,.-opponents,,,.-and,,.-those,,.-games,,.-are,,.-rarely,,.-blowouts.
Lack,,.-of,,.-execution,,.-was,,.-also,,.-an,,.-issue,,,.-and,,.-coaching,,.-has,,.-been,,.-a,,.-problem,,,.-too,,,.-particularly,,.-in,,.-the,,.-Dallas,,.-game.,,.-I,,.-thought,,.-the,,.-Saints,,.-had,,.-to,,.-find,,.-a,,.-way,,.-to,,.-get,,.-the,,.-ball,,.-away,,.-from,,.-the,,.-Cowboys,,.-star,,.-linebackers,,,.-and,,.-they,,.-failed,,.-to,,.-do,,.-so.

Saints,,.-coach,,.-Sean,,.-Payton,,.-said,,.-Davenport,,.-is,,.-playing,,.-with,,.-confidence
How,,.-much,,.-of,,.-a,,.-role,,.-if,,.-any,,.-do,,.-you,,.-think,,.-Ginn's,,.-absence,,,.-being,,.-a,,.-viable,,.-second,,.-receiver,,.-option,,.-for,,.-Drew,,.-played,,.-in,,.-the,,.-poor,,.-offensive,,.-showings,,.-during,,.-the,,.-last,,.-three,,.-games?
—,,.-My,,.-2018-19,,.-Saints,,.-(12-2),,.-(@BWD2020),,.-December,,.-21,,,.-2018
Ginn,,.-hasn’t,,.-played,,.-since,,.-Week,,.-4,,,.-and,,.-the,,.-Saints,,.-offense,,.-was,,.-still,,.-thriving,,.-in,,.-six,,.-of,,.-those,,.-first,,.-seven,,.-games,,.-he,,.-missed,,.-—,,.-all,,.-except,,.-the,,.-Ravens,,.-game,,.-in,,.-Week,,.-7.
However,,,.-I,,.-do,,.-think,,.-it’s,,.-fair,,.-to,,.-say,,.-his,,.-absence,,.-has,,.-played,,.-a,,.-role,,.-in,,.-some,,.-of,,.-the,,.-issues,,.-because,,.-Tre’Quan,,.-Smith,,.-has,,.-not,,.-been,,.-reliable,,.-in,,.-the,,.-past,,.-three,,.-games.,,.-Plus,,,.-teams,,.-have,,.-more,,.-tape,,.-on,,.-Smith,,.-since,,.-the,,.-beginning,,.-of,,.-Ginn’s,,.-absence,,,.-which,,.-has,,.-probably,,.-made,,.-it,,.-easier,,.-for,,.-defenses,,.-to,,.-limit,,.-him.
Right,,.-now,,,.-Ginn,,.-is,,.-still,,.-a,,.-better,,.-player,,.-than,,.-Smith,,.-and,,.-Tommylee,,.-Lewis,,,.-and,,.-because,,.-plays,,.-that,,.-typically,,.-go,,.-to,,.-him,,.-are,,.-going,,.-to,,.-them,,.-instead,,,.-the,,.-offense,,.-has,,.-suffered.
How,,.-much,,.-will,,.-we,,.-use,,.-Ted,,.-Ginn,,.-in,,.-these,,.-last,,.-two,,.-games,,.-if,,.-at,,.-all?
—,,.-fan,,.-(@Allen32),,.-December,,.-21,,,.-2018
I,,.-don’t,,.-expect,,.-to,,.-see,,.-Ginn,,.-on,,.-Sunday,,.-against,,.-the,,.-Steelers.,,.-At,,.-this,,.-point,,,.-there’s,,.-no,,.-reason,,.-to,,.-rush,,.-him,,.-back.
In,,.-Week,,.-17,,,.-I,,.-wouldn’t,,.-be,,.-surprised,,.-to,,.-see,,.-the,,.-Saints,,.-give,,.-him,,.-an,,.-opportunity,,.-to,,.-test,,.-his,,.-legs,,,.-but,,.-I,,.-also,,.-think,,.-there’s,,.-no,,.-reason,,.-for,,.-him,,.-to,,.-play,,.-in,,.-that,,.-game.,,.-Also,,,.-adding,,.-him,,.-to,,.-the,,.-active,,.-roster,,.-would,,.-force,,.-the,,.-Saints,,.-to,,.-cut,,.-a,,.-player,,,.-and,,.-they,,.-probably,,.-want,,.-to,,.-keep,,.-their,,.-roster,,.-intact,,.-before,,.-the,,.-playoffs,,.-to,,.-have,,.-a,,.-better,,.-idea,,.-of,,.-where,,.-they’ll,,.-need,,.-depth,,.-in,,.-the,,.-postseason.
So,,,.-my,,.-guess,,.-is,,.-we,,.-don’t,,.-see,,.-Ginn,,.-until,,.-the,,.-playoffs.
Hello,,.-Josh.,,.-You,,.-looked,,.-really,,.-handsome,,.-at,,.-the,,.-lunch.,,.-As,,.-long,,.-suffering,,.-saints,,.-fans,,.-shouldn’t,,.-we,,.-prefer,,.-to,,.-see,,.-the,,.-defense,,.-surging,,.-come,,.-playoff,,.-time,,.-versus,,.-the,,.-offense?,,.-And,,.-wouldn’t,,.-it,,.-hold,,.-that,,.-the,,.-defense,,.-will,,.-probably,,.-regress,,.-and,,.-the,,.-offense,,.-will,,.-get,,.-better,,.-once,,.-they,,.-are,,.-home?
—,,.-Bodie,,.-⚜️,,.-(@DarylRazorsRay),,.-December,,.-21,,,.-2018
Thanks,,,.-Bodie,,,.-but,,.-I’m,,.-not,,.-just,,.-posting,,.-this,,.-because,,.-of,,.-the,,.-compliment,,.-on,,.-my,,.-look,,.-at,,.-the,,.-media,,.-luncheon,,.-hosted,,.-by,,.-Saints,,.-owner,,.-Gayle,,.-Benson,,.-on,,.-Wednesday.
I,,.-think,,.-this,,.-is,,.-a,,.-great,,.-question,,.-that,,.-really,,.-hits,,.-the,,.-nail,,.-on,,.-the,,.-head.,,.-People,,.-should,,.-not,,.-be,,.-as,,.-worried,,.-about,,.-the,,.-offense.,,.-The,,.-incredible,,.-production,,.-earlier,,.-in,,.-the,,.-year,,.-spoiled,,.-fans,,,.-but,,.-it’s,,.-not,,.-uncommon,,.-for,,.-great,,.-offenses,,.-to,,.-have,,.-some,,.-down,,.-games.,,.-It,,.-just,,.-so,,.-happens,,.-those,,.-came,,.-in,,.-three,,.-consecutive,,.-matchups.
Meanwhile,,,.-the,,.-Saints,,.-defense,,.-has,,.-been,,.-the,,.-best,,.-in,,.-the,,.-NFL,,.-during,,.-the,,.-past,,.-six,,.-games,,,.-but,,.-I,,.-really,,.-don’t,,.-think,,.-they’ve,,.-been,,.-tested,,.-by,,.-great,,.-offenses,,.-during,,.-that,,.-stretch.
Cincinnati’s,,.-offense,,.-ranks,,.-25th,,,.-Philadelphia’s,,.-ranks,,.-17th,,,.-Atlanta’s,,.-ranks,,.-ninth,,,.-Dallas’s,,.-ranks,,.-21st,,,.-Tampa,,.-Bay’s,,.-ranks,,.-3rd,,.-(but,,.-is,,.-flawed),,.-and,,.-Carolina’s,,.-ranks,,.-12th,,.-(and,,.-Cam,,.-Newton’s,,.-shoulder,,.-was,,.-a,,.-factor).
So,,,.-I,,.-expect,,.-both,,.-the,,.-Saints,,.-offense,,.-and,,.-defense,,.-to,,.-both,,.-play,,.-closer,,.-to,,.-expectations,,.-in,,.-the,,.-playoffs,,,.-meaning,,.-the,,.-offense,,.-will,,.-be,,.-more,,.-productive,,.-and,,.-the,,.-defense,,.-could,,.-go,,.-experience,,.-more,,.-struggles,,.-than,,.-we’ve,,.-seen,,.-recently.

Based,,.-on,,.-the,,.-initial,,.-action,,.-in,,.-the,,.-play,,,.-the,,.-guys,,.-the,,.-Saints,,.-were,,.-using,,.-to,,.-defend,,.-a,,.-potential,,.-pass,,.-were,,.-Marcus,,.-Williams,,,.-Demario,,.-Davis,,.-and,,.-Alex,,.-Anzalone,,,.-and,,.-Anzalone,,.-was,,.-on,,.-the,,.-other,,.-side,,.-of,,.-the,,.-line.,,.-Everyone,,.-on,,.-defense,,.-thought,,.-it,,.-was,,.-a,,.-run,,.-when,,.-McCaffrey,,.-got,,.-the,,.-ball,,,.-but,,.-I,,.-would,,.-think,,.-it,,.-was,,.-Williams’,,.-assignment,,.-to,,.-prevent,,.-anything,,.-over,,.-the,,.-top.
What,,.-do,,.-we,,.-need,,.-in,,.-the,,.-draft?,,.-I’m,,.-wracking,,.-my,,.-brain,,.-and,,.-can,,.-not,,.-find,,.-a,,.-serious,,.-hole
—,,.-WhoDatRva,,.-(@wookielips77),,.-December,,.-21,,,.-2018
I,,.-feel,,.-like,,.-I,,.-say,,.-this,,.-multiple,,.-times,,.-during,,.-draft,,.-season,,,.-but,,.-I’ll,,.-say,,.-it,,.-now.,,.-Every,,.-position,,.-will,,.-be,,.-a,,.-need,,.-within,,.-three,,.-years.,,.-Whether,,.-due,,.-to,,.-contracts,,.-or,,.-injuries,,,.-rosters,,.-are,,.-constantly,,.-changing,,,.-so,,.-even,,.-though,,.-something,,.-doesn’t,,.-look,,.-like,,.-a,,.-need,,.-today,,,.-it,,.-could,,.-quickly,,.-become,,.-a,,.-need,,.-in,,.-the,,.-near,,.-future.
A,,.-perfect,,.-example,,.-of,,.-this,,.-was,,.-the,,.-Saints,,.-drafting,,.-Ryan,,.-Ramczyk,,.-last,,.-year.,,.-So,,.-many,,.-Saints,,.-fans,,.-were,,.-upset,,.-with,,.-that,,.-pick,,,.-saying,,.-the,,.-team,,.-needed,,.-to,,.-use,,.-the,,.-selection,,.-on,,.-a,,.-defensive,,.-player.,,.-The,,.-Saints,,.-already,,.-had,,.-Terron,,.-Armstead,,.-and,,.-Zach,,.-Strief,,,.-why,,.-would,,.-they,,.-ever,,.-take,,.-a,,.-tackle?
Well,,,.-Armstead,,.-got,,.-hurt,,.-in,,.-the,,.-offseason,,,.-Strief,,.-got,,.-hurt,,.-in,,.-Week,,.-1,,,.-and,,.-Ramczyk,,.-has,,.-started,,.-every,,.-game,,.-of,,.-his,,.-career.
Once,,.-more,,.-fans,,.-understand,,.-that,,.-the,,.-draft,,.-is,,.-not,,.-to,,.-fill,,.-immediate,,.-holes,,,.-it’ll,,.-be,,.-easier,,.-to,,.-recognize,,.-why,,.-so,,.-many,,.-coaches,,,.-GMs,,.-and,,.-media,,.-say,,.-not,,.-to,,.-evaluate,,.-draft,,.-picks,,.-until,,.-after,,.-three,,.-years.,,.-Many,,.-draft,,.-picks,,.-don’t,,.-have,,.-a,,.-chance,,.-to,,.-play,,.-regularly,,.-until,,.-their,,.-second,,.-or,,.-third,,.-year,,,.-which,,.-is,,.-why,,.-people,,.-shouldn’t,,.-rush,,.-to,,.-throw,,.-around,,.-the,,.-bust,,.-label.
OK,,,.-diatribe,,.-over.
Tight,,.-end,,.-is,,.-the,,.-biggest,,.-hole,,.-for,,.-the,,.-Saints,,,.-especially,,.-with,,.-Josh,,.-Hill,,,.-Benjamin,,.-Watson,,.-and,,.-Michael,,.-Hoomanawanui,,.-(who’s,,.-on,,.-IR),,.-set,,.-to,,.-become,,.-free,,.-agents.
Running,,.-back,,.-is,,.-a,,.-need,,,.-too.,,.-Right,,.-now,,,.-Mark,,.-Ingram’s,,.-future,,.-is,,.-unclear,,.-because,,.-he’ll,,.-be,,.-a,,.-free,,.-agent,,.-next,,.-year,,,.-but,,.-even,,.-if,,.-he,,.-returns,,,.-the,,.-Saints,,.-could,,.-use,,.-a,,.-viable,,.-third,,.-option,,.-behind,,.-Ingram,,.-and,,.-Alvin,,.-Kamara,,,.-which,,.-was,,.-painfully,,.-obvious,,.-during,,.-Ingram’s,,.-suspension.
Teams,,.-should,,.-always,,.-look,,.-for,,.-offensive,,.-and,,.-defensive,,.-linemen,,,.-but,,.-the,,.-other,,.-need,,.-that,,.-I,,.-think,,.-should,,.-be,,.-obvious,,.-is,,.-quarterback.,,.-I,,.-don’t,,.-see,,.-how,,.-the,,.-Saints,,.-get,,.-a,,.-top,,.-quarterback,,.-as,,.-their,,.-second-round,,.-pick,,.-is,,.-their,,.-only,,.-selection,,.-in,,.-the,,.-first,,.-four,,.-rounds,,,.-but,,.-if,,.-Teddy,,.-Bridgewater,,.-leaves,,,.-they’ll,,.-probably,,.-need,,.-another,,.-backup,,.-to,,.-allow,,.-Taysom,,.-Hill,,.-to,,.-continue,,.-playing,,.-his,,.-role.
Do,,.-the,,.-saints,,.-consider,,.-the,,.-lattimore,,.-on,,.-juju,,.-matchup,,.-and,,.-leave,,.-apple,,.-Nd,,.-Marcus,,.-Williams,,.-to,,.-double,,.-up,,.-on,,.-AB,,.-in,,.-this,,.-upcoming,,.-game?

I,,.-have,,.-no,,.-sense,,.-of,,.-how,,.-the,,.-Saints,,.-will,,.-deploy,,.-their,,.-secondary,,.-in,,.-this,,.-game.,,.-JuJu,,.-Smith-Schuster,,.-(groin),,.-is,,.-listed,,.-as,,.-questionable,,.-but,,.-says,,.-he’ll,,.-play.
In,,.-addition,,.-to,,.-Antonio,,.-Brown,,.-and,,.-Smith-Schuster,,,.-the,,.-Saints,,.-have,,.-to,,.-account,,.-for,,.-Vance,,.-McDonald,,,.-who,,.-is,,.-one,,.-of,,.-the,,.-best,,.-tight,,.-ends,,.-they’ve,,.-faced,,.-this,,.-season.
My,,.-best,,.-guess,,.-is,,.-the,,.-Saints,,.-will,,.-have,,.-Marshon,,.-Lattimore,,.-travel,,.-with,,.-Brown,,.-and,,.-hope,,.-Brown,,.-doesn’t,,.-burn,,.-him.,,.-Then,,,.-they’ll,,.-have,,.-Eli,,.-Apple,,.-or,,.-P.J.,,.-Williams,,.-on,,.-Smith-Schuster,,.-depending,,.-on,,.-where,,.-he,,.-lines,,.-up,,,.-and,,.-I,,.-would,,.-think,,.-free,,.-safety,,.-Marcus,,.-Williams,,.-will,,.-play,,.-extra,,.-deep,,.-in,,.-this,,.-game,,.-to,,.-prevent,,.-either,,.-receiver,,.-from,,.-creating,,.-game-changing,,.-plays.
For,,.-McDonald,,,.-I,,.-would,,.-think,,.-the,,.-Saints,,.-will,,.-try,,.-to,,.-have,,.-Vonn,,.-Bell,,.-or,,.-Alex,,.-Anzalone,,.-on,,.-him,,.-as,,.-much,,.-as,,.-possible.
This,,.-matchup,,.-is,,.-probably,,.-the,,.-toughest,,.-one,,.-of,,.-the,,.-year,,.-for,,.-the,,.-Saints,,.-secondary,,,.-and,,.-I,,.-imagine,,.-they,,.-have,,.-backup,,.-plans,,.-ready,,.-in,,.-case,,.-the,,.-Steelers,,.-receivers,,.-start,,.-to,,.-run,,.-wild.

Yes.,,.-I,,.-don’t,,.-have,,.-any,,.-inside,,.-info,,.-on,,.-this,,.-because,,.-the,,.-Saints,,.-don’t,,.-like,,.-to,,.-talk,,.-about,,.-future,,.-games,,,.-but,,.-that,,.-seems,,.-like,,.-the,,.-obvious,,.-move,,.-if,,.-there’s,,.-nothing,,.-on,,.-the,,.-line,,.-in,,.-Week,,.-17.
There,,.-are,,.-only,,.-three,,.-reasons,,.-I,,.-could,,.-see,,.-Drew,,.-Brees,,.-starting,,.-in,,.-a,,.-meaningless,,.-Week,,.-17,,.-game.,,.-The,,.-first,,.-would,,.-be,,.-if,,.-Brees,,.-wanted,,.-to,,.-keep,,.-his,,.-streak,,.-of,,.-starts,,.-going,,,.-but,,.-because,,.-he,,.-missed,,.-a,,.-game,,.-in,,.-2015,,,.-it’s,,.-not,,.-long,,.-enough,,.-for,,.-that,,.-to,,.-be,,.-a,,.-factor.
The,,.-second,,.-is,,.-if,,.-the,,.-Saints,,.-want,,.-to,,.-try,,.-to,,.-help,,.-Brees,,.-improve,,.-his,,.-chances,,.-at,,.-winning,,.-MVP.
The,,.-third,,.-is,,.-if,,.-the,,.-Saints,,.-want,,.-to,,.-hide,,.-Teddy,,.-Bridgewater,,.-to,,.-keep,,.-his,,.-value,,.-down,,.-when,,.-he,,.-becomes,,.-a,,.-free,,.-agent,,.-in,,.-order,,.-to,,.-help,,.-them,,.-re-sign,,.-him.

Sean,,.-Payton,,.-settled,,.-in,,,.-his,,.-visor,,.-on,,.-tight,

The,,.-Saints,,.-(12-2),,.-expect,,.-a,,.-playoff,,.-atmosphere,,.-on,,.-Sunday,,.-at,,.-the,,.-Mercedes-Benz,,.-Superdome.,,.-While,,.-they’re,,.-focused,,.-on,,.-earning,,.-the,,.-No.,,.-1,,.-seed,,,.-the,,.-Steelers,,.-(8-5-1),,.-are,,.-coming,,.-to,,.-town,,.-still,,.-trying,,.-to,,.-secure,,.-a,,.-playoff,,.-berth,,.-in,,.-the,,.-AFC.
Nobody,,.-on,,.-the,,.-Saints,,.-is,,.-looking,,.-past,,.-this,,.-game,,,.-according,,.-to,,.-free,,.-safety,,.-Marcus,,.-Williams.
“We,,.-just,,.-got,,.-to,,.-go,,.-out,,.-there,,,.-execute,,.-and,,.-get,,.-the,,.-job,,.-done,,.-so,,.-we,,.-can,,.-make,,.-that,,.-happen,”,,.-cornerback,,.-Marshon,,.-Lattimore,,.-said.
Still,,,.-the,,.-Saints,,.-know,,.-that,,.-a,,.-win,,.-would,,.-give,,.-the,,.-Saints,,.-some,,.-much-needed,,.-rest,,.-because,,.-they,,.-would,,.-receive,,.-a,,.-bye,,.-in,,.-the,,.-first,,.-round,,.-of,,.-the,,.-playoffs,,.-and,,.-have,,.-a,,.-chance,,.-to,,.-sit,,.-some,,.-starters,,.-in,,.-Week,,.-17,,.-against,,.-the,,.-Panthers.
“Being,,.-able,,.-to,,.-rest,,.-guys,,.-and,,.-being,,.-able,,.-to,,.-have,,.-that,,.-week,,.-off,,.-to,,.-get,,.-our,,.-bodies,,.-right,,,.-our,,.-minds,,.-right,,.-preparing,,.-for,,.-whoever,,.-we,,.-have,,.-to,,.-face,,,.-and,,.-then,,.-we’re,,.-home-field,,.-advantage,,,.-and,,.-it’s,,.-hard,,.-to,,.-play,,.-here,”,,.-Williams,,.-said.
The,,.-Saints,,.-are,,.-5-0,,.-at,,.-home,,.-in,,.-playoff,,.-games,,.-under,,.-coach,,.-Sean,,.-Payton,,,.-including,,.-2-0,,.-in,,.-2009,,.-when,,.-they,,.-were,,.-the,,.-No.,,.-1,,.-seed,,.-and,,.-went,,.-on,,.-to,,.-win,,.-the,,.-Super,,.-Bowl.,,.-Comparatively,,,.-the,,.-Saints,,.-are,,.-just,,.-1-5,,.-in,,.-road,,.-playoff,,.-games,,.-since,,.-Payton,,.-arrived,,.-in,,.-2006.
“The,,.-energy,,.-that,,.-the,,.-fans,,.-bring,,,.-the,,.-vibe,,.-of,,.-the,,.-city,,,.-it’s,,.-a,,.-dark,,.-cloud,,.-over,,.-any,,.-opposing,,.-team,,.-that,,.-pulls,,.-in,,,.-so,,.-we,,.-want,,.-it,,.-for,,.-sure,”,,.-left,,.-tackle,,.-Terron,,.-Armstead,,.-said,,.-of,,.-the,,.-No.,,.-1,,.-seed.,,.-“We,,.-want,,.-two,,.-more,,.-home,,.-games,,.-in,,.-New,,.-Orleans,,,.-so,,.-we’re,,.-going,,.-for,,.-it,,,.-most,,.-definitely.”
Running,,.-back,,.-Alvin,,.-Kamara,,.-added,,.-the,,.-Saints,,.-have,,.-“just,,.-a,,.-little,,.-bit,,.-more,,.-confidence”,,.-at,,.-home,,,.-too.
“That’s,,.-like,,.-we,,.-got,,.-13,,.-people,,.-on,,.-the,,.-field,,.-because,,.-the,,.-Dome,,.-is,,.-that,,.-much,,.-of,,.-an,,.-advantage,,.-with,,.-the,,.-noise,,,.-with,,.-the,,.-energy,,,.-just,,.-the,,.-atmosphere,,.-that,,.-that,,.-brings,”,,.-he,,.-said.
The,,.-Saints,,.-this,,.-year,,.-have,,.-been,,.-just,,.-as,,.-successful,,.-on,,.-the,,.-road,,.-(7-1),,.-as,,.-at,,.-home,,.-(5-1),,,.-but,,.-they,,.-still,,.-hope,,.-they’ve,,.-played,,.-their,,.-last,,.-road,,.-game.
“I,,.-think,,.-we,,.-can,,.-travel,,.-well,”,,.-running,,.-back,,.-Mark,,.-Ingram,,.-said.,,.-“I,,.-think,,.-we,,.-can,,.-play,,.-anywhere,,,.-but,,.-hopefully,,.-we,,.-don’t,,.-have,,.-to,,.-anymore.”
Even,,.-if,,.-the,,.-Saints,,.-lose,,.-to,,.-the,,.-Steelers,,,.-they’d,,.-still,,.-have,,.-a,,.-good,,.-chance,,.-at,,.-securing,,.-the,,.-No.,,.-1,,.-seed.,,.-Right,,.-now,,,.-they’re,,.-one,,.-game,,.-ahead,,.-of,,.-the,,.-Rams,,.-(11-3),,.-and,,.-hold,,.-a,,.-head-to-head,,.-tiebreaker,,,.-so,,.-one,,.-Saints,,.-win,,.-in,,.-the,,.-final,,.-two,,.-games,,.-will,,.-guarantee,,.-them,,.-the,,.-No.,,.-1,,.-seed.,,.-In,,.-Week,,.-17,,,.-the,,.-Saints,,.-host,,.-a,,.-Panthers,,.-team,,.-that,,.-will,,.-likely,,.-use,,.-Taylor,,.-Heinicke,,.-at,,.-quarterback,,,.-and,,.-he’s,,.-making,,.-his,,.-first,,.-career,,.-start,,.-on,,.-Sunday.
Obviously,,,.-the,,.-Saints,,.-hope,,.-it,,.-doesn’t,,.-reach,,.-that,,.-point.,,.-They,,.-want,,.-to,,.-lock,,.-up,,.-the,,.-No.,,.-1,,.-seed,,.-on,,.-Sunday,,.-and,,.-win,,.-their,,.-first,,.-home,,.-game,,.-in,,.-nearly,,.-a,,.-month,,.-after,,.-playing,,.-their,,.-past,,.-three,,.-on,,.-the,,.-road.
“Clearly,,,.-with,,.-us,,.-being,,.-in,,.-the,,.-dome,,,.-our,,.-fans,,,.-our,,.-home,,.-field,,.-is,,.-clearly,,.-a,,.-weapon,,.-for,,.-us,,,.-clearly,,.-an,,.-advantage,,.-for,,.-us,”,,.-Ingram,,.-said.,,.-“That,,.-would,,.-be,,.-huge.,,.-We,,.-just,,.-got,,.-to,,.-keep,,.-doing,,.-what,,.-we,,.-got,,.-to,,.-do.”
