SF 49ers vs Saints Pregame Thread - 2022 Season week 12

• Sunday November 27; 1:25pm PT

Please post pregame news, observations & discussion here.

Shouldn't be close. 34-13 9ers

33-7 49ers

Go 49ers!

I'll assume the dline will be facing Dalton since he just won this past week.

Trap game. We always come out flat after road games and maybe the short week affects us. Hopefully the rest our starters got at the end of the game helps out a bit.

On paper this should be a 40 burger and starters on the sidelines with ball caps on the sidelines by the 4th quarter, but games aren't played on paper. The Saints D is respectable.

This team needs to string together some wins.

Saints' DVOA profile...

#23 offense
#15 defense
#25 special teams

#23 overall

There's a reason that the 49ers are favored by 9.5 points. They've been a lot better than New Orleans

Their pass defense is ranked 8th in the league. They have played CIN (4th), TB (5th), LV (8th), MIN (10th) and SEA (13th).

We should be able to beat the saints in a convincing way. I'm not expecting a blowout but it shouldn't be too close of a game, especially late.

i want to see our defense get off to a better start in the first half. Our offense has been clicking, so they just need to keep getting in rhythm.

This is the most excited I've been all year. I think the team is finally coming together and moving in the direction we all thought they would be earlier in the year. We control our own destiny. We can't ask for much more! Let's hope Kinlaw and Armstead come back soon! We will need them for the playoffs

Get this dub convincingly and focus on Miami

9.5 pts is probably the play. That's a ton of points.
