Those 80's "business trips"

I am jealous of you guys who were fans in the 80s and got to follow the team through that decade. f**king a*****es.

Real test / statement game will be vs Miami

If we beat Miami:

"Meh Miami got blown out by the Jets. Not a real statement. Real test will be vs Tampa."

Well that would be dumb because Miami had a 3rd string undrafted guy playing qb

I don't think anyone would say that, assuming Miami doesn't lose to Houston this week

Saints are better than the Cardinals, and IMO better than their record.

We should win on paper, and I think as long as we get to Dalton, we take this one.

We are at home so we should definitely have an edge. I noticed we practically have all home games left the rest of this season. Even our away games, we don't leave the west coast. This is f**king huge IMO.

I agree. I can't help but be worried because Jimmy eventually is going to make a mistake, even as well as he's played lately, we can't expect near flawlessness. Saints are fighting for their season right now. I think they will fight us tough instead of mailing it in like AZ.

Maybe, but AZ was fighting for their season too technically.

Jimmy could also keep surprising and keep building momentum. I think he could finally be putting it all together with these right weapons. Our playmakers on offense are no damn joke. It's crazy how talented we are on offense. So in a way, I do EXPECT Jimmy to continue to play well. If he doesn't, then clearly it would be a Jimmy issue. I think even if Alex Smith had this level of talent on offense he would have put up great numbers.

During the Harbaugh era we had some epic battles with the Saints. They had Brees then, now, the Red Rifle, Andy Dalton. They have a solid D and a decent run game.
