The great thing is that before the season our schedule looked brutal, but at this point it looks much easier.

We got Green Bay at the right time under the right circumstances. I want to see how our defense can match up w/ the Saints on their indoor turf.

Agree here. Brees has been playing lights out. Keys to defending this team will be taking away his options. We'll need Norman to really get up for this game - he needs to get to that dark knight place or whatever he calls it and really go to work on Thomas.

Then the front seven has to keep Kamara and Ingram (yes he's back) in check. If we let the Saints get ahead of the chains then I don't think we're stopping Brees. We have to keep them in challenging down and distances which is going to require stopping the run.

I think the pride factor has to come through here. Norman especially needs to dig deep and be a star when we need him.

Just for the record, this is not a game that looks easier. Lol. The Saints at home are always tough. Atlanta, TB - they actually went from very winnable game - to tough game- back to very winnable, Texans, Giants, Cowboys, even the Birds all look like very winnable games now.
However it is the Redskins so who knows which team will show up. So far this year, albeit only three games, we have seen two very different trams.
