If the Saints would play the Lions the start of the season they would win. Same goes when playing about 3 other teams that were a mess the beginning of the seasons. Some teams have regrouped though. Saints are still in the progress of regrouping so this could be a tight match and a real confidence builder for the team even in a loss. I have no idea where thisgame will be going. I just hope to see something I like from the defense, where as the offense is also finding a rhythm, though still missing a few key players to be really good.
The main reason the Saints are doing better on defense is in my opinion, the linebackers. With Kikaha en Ellerby back this team is a lot better. This weeks topic: Linebackers.
As usual, first last weeks answers; There were 0 turnovers, 1 sack, 3 tackles for a loss according to ESPN.com, Ellerbee was the leading tackler, and for the tie breaker: Saints gave up close to 0 yards (nobody is below the actual number. So in case of tie breaker, lowest answer wins).
This weeks winner is: mateusjf! Congratulations! First comment gets the win again. I should not be so late in answering (Let alone forgetting to submit my answer till 30 minutes before the game). With only 1 correct answer mateusjf won by the tie breaker; 350 yards.
So most correct was 1; least correct was 0. And a lot of us had that. We should all thank Own the Falcons for his 554 yards answer on question 5. He gets the Falcons cup, which, with every loss, shines every week a bit more since around the time I named it the Falcons cup.
Join us this week and read the rules here. It is till not to late to win the prize money or at least share in it as there are 3 more weeks to go. Your chances are statistically better then the Saints making the playoffs!

As said; this weeks questions are about Saints linebackers. For DE/LB mix positions the roster listing on the Saints website counts.
- How many Sacks will they have on the opposing QB?
- Which of them will lead in Tackles?
- Do they combined commit more then 1 penalty?
- How many Fumbles Created + Fumbles Recovered + Interceptions will they have?
- Tie Breaker: How many Tackles (individually combined) will they have?
