First off, a school committment means I will be TiVoing the game and watching it during the afternoon games. Accordingly, I've pre-scheduled a post-game thread to go up around 1pm pacific time. I'll have a recap up probably around 5 or 6pm pacific time (possibly earlier since I'll be able to fastforward through commercials, halftime and boring announcer stuff).
As for the game itself, well it's a big one for the 49ers. The Saints are banged up, providing a decent chance at stealing a road win early in the season. A 3-1 start would be huge for the 49ers going into a tough stretch of the schedule. Of course, a 3-1 start will require execution in all phases of the game today. Even thought the Saints are banged up, Drew Brees and Reggie Bush are healthy and that could certainly be enough to defeat the 49ers. Either way, it should be an entertaining game.
GO NINERS!

yeah it's weird
I don’t remember ever seeing the saints choose to wear white at home before. Dolphins, Cowboys, Redskins yes, Saints no.

yeah
Saints have actually started wear white at home more often… then towards the later part of the season they will wear the monochrome black

well
they used it last week
the Saints are like that. They will wear white at home and then the black on gold to begin the year. then the black pants will start to emerge… it’s an odd thing now when teams are starting to wear more white these days at home

whoever I'm playing
in the NN fantasy league has Brees starting at QB, even more reason to hope we dominate

man's that's pretty
it’s so nice to see a QB step UP in the pocket when there’s pressure instead of backpedaling

First blood!
And they looked good doing it… could be a great game if our D can slow Brees/Bush down at all.

That’s why I mentioned slowing Brees/Bush down… if we can keep them to FGs to it might be ok.
