Cannot and will not criticize a 13-3 season, come on , get real here

Well Saints loss to Atl forked it up

Atlanta beat Bucs in OT to end season 7-9.

 

[Super44]

Saints will now have to win on road in playoffs for only their 2nd win in the history of Payton and Brees. I do not see it happening. Teams just have a stigma attached that cannot be absolved.

 

[Heathen Saint]

Atlanta kicked our butts. We were never in that one.


The Niners loss hurts the most. We had that one and gagged it away.

Yep. Take care of business in just one of those two games and we wouldn't be here having to rely on damned Detroit

 

[CentMSSaint]

I absolutely hate when the refs throw that flag on the "give up".

They need to stop that penalty because the QBs know that there's no way defenders can stop their motion. That's a free 15 yards every time.

 

[Pkessling]

You knew Detroit would choke. Now we will have to hear about how the great Aaron Rodgers led another 4th quarter comeback.

The packers will lose their first playoff game. BOOK IT. They got a first round by barley beating garbage teams. That flag on the lions was bs.

I think we can beat SF on the road. I feel a lot better about this team's ability to play away this year than I did last.

Will you just stop.

 

[CentMSSaint]

Well. Let's just hope that the Seahawks can defend their turf at home tonight.

All I know is this Packers team is the 5th best team in the NFC and could end up the 1 seed. We get a lucky weather break in Lambeau and we can beat them by 2 TDs. They have nothing that scares anyone except potential single digit temps to neutralize the other team somewhat.

 

[DaveXA]

Will you just stop.

Some people are stuck in the past. They can't help it.

If the Niners win, the Packers first playoff game will probably be against the Saints.

 

[black_floyd]

There is ZERO chance we beat the Packers in the playoffs. The refs will never allow it. Also, I wouldn't be surprised to see SEA take their foot off the gas since they're locked out from the bye now and their two scenarios are:

1. Win to end up 12-4, get the 3 seed, and host MIN.

2. Lose to end up 11-5, get the 5 seed, and play PHI/DAL on the road.

I don't think there's nearly enough upside to risking injuries to starters just to gain homefield advantage in a game where neither opponent is noticeably better than the other and your team is already reeling from injuries.

 

[Super44]

It is one of those years when you have had a successful season, but everything else went against you. The niners lucky plays, the injury to Brees in Rams game with the fumble return for a TD not called, the Packers lucky two wins against the Lions, the lucky win by Niners against the Rams last week...etc. Saints just did not have enough else go their way. They have an uphill battle folks. Plain and simple.
