NFL Saturday divisional round playoffs

Yeah, but not when any of 'em were alive, right?

“Alive” + maybe about 12 years to where you’d remember and appreciate it would mean you’d have to be about 80 years old today AND still have your sharpness/wits to care about today’s game.

So yeah, probably not a ton out there.

Why does he take shots at NO. He has never played there. Teams are not rivals. Seems bizarre.

His brother has been a Saint, they have a podcast, Amon throws a bunch of shade at the Saints.

Unless your team has a historic defense, you need a QB who can elevate your offense to win superbowls. Mid tier guys like Dilfer won a superbowl because his defense was historic, Brad Johnson won one in Tampa because his defense was unreal and when the Ravens won it with Flacco, Flacco played lights out in that post-season with also a crazy good Defense.

Football is first and foremost a running game. It always has been and always will be. - Vince Lombardi


There is still a lot of truth in that statement. Nothing takes the soul out of an opposing defense more than
running the ball down their throat. The Lions were exposed last night. Glenns defense could not stop the
run. Our Saints couldn't either. Until we fix that we aren't going anywhere.

The NFL should just install the Chiefs in the Super Bowl. The cheating is so obvious now that seems to be what they want.

The Rams would like to chime in…

 

[Blazing Saint]

This loss today highlights Dan Campbell's gaff last year against the 49ers. He might have blown Detroit's only chance at a Super Bowl. Smh.

I said last year, I would've fired him on the spot, people thought that was crazy and maybe it is. But that loss was like 28-3 with a stench that just might not come off as long a he's there. SO MANY THINGS have to go right in order for you to win a Chip, you don't need to be one of the things that go wrong for yourself.


Btw, Detroit is cursed.

I was too young to remember, but the Chargers fired their coach after a 14-2 season ending in the divisional round. Will time repeat itself somewhere else?

I blame Goff. He had three turnovers by himself.

I’m also happy thinking of St. Brown losing. He takes too many shots at our team for my liking.

About face: Chargers fire head coach Schottenheimer

Sources close to Marty Schottenheimer and the San Diego Chargers said the coach was fired by the team Monday, ESPN's Chris Mortensen reported.

I like to think that there's a bit more to the story. The article doesn't mention that either Smith or Schottenheimer didn't think enough of Drew Brees to keep him. They drafted Eli Manning in 2004 and immediately traded him for Phillip Rivers. Then they let Brees go after 2005. I would imagine that they would have started arguing about such collosal blunders. I don't know which of them was responsible.

Rivers was good but not so good to equal Drew Brees + the first overall pick in the draft.

A.J. Smith was great at drafting talent but I've read that he wasn't easy to work with.

Marty Schottenheimer was a good coach who was too conservative to win the big games.

I believe that was Marty Schottenheimer. The Chargers should have won that game. A DB intercepted Brady on a 4th down. All he had to do was go down, but he tried to run it back and fumbled, the Patriots recovered the fumble and do to a "change of possession" received a fresh set of downs, where they promptly went down for the game- winning score. It was such a Saints- like loss.

He was fired because it was another in a long line of playoff losses. He just couldn't get it done in the post- season.

They were the AFC version of the 1998 Vikings.
