I could write a whole ton about the NFC South here, but Wikipedia has all the information you need to know. The NFC South is the only division since the 2002 realignment to have each of its teams make a conference championship game appearance: Tampa Bay (2002), Atlanta (2004, 2012, and 2016), Carolina (2003, 2005 and 2015), and New Orleans (2006 and 2009). All four members of the NFC South have made postseason appearances before entering the division in 2002. Also since 2002, each team has won at least three division titles, the only such division in the league. Our last Super Bowl winner was the New Orleans Saints. Before them, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers won a Super Bowl as well. Our last NFC champion was the Carolina Panthers. Currently, the Atlanta Falcons are poised to make a Super Bowl appearance if they can beat the Packers on Sunday. We have the best food, the best quarterbacks, and the best looking women. We are also the humblest. The NFC South (thread) will rise again!

Nystral posted:Ever since the division was artificially created following the realignment of 2002 the South is made up of three former NFC West teams (ATL, CAR, and NO) and one NFC Central team (TB). As a result the deepest rivalries in the division is between the Falcons and the Saints, due to a long shared history. Can't do that at all. I'm pretty sure I was meh on the Panthers last year because I was pulling for Peyton, but no way can I root for Atlanta. I realize that I'm in the minority on this one though as they're seen as the plucky never winning underdog as we were in 2009. If the Falcons win Sunday, I'm a huge AFC fan no matter who wins. Just saw this. https://twitter.com/jkatzenstein/status/822548915904016384 Didn't see that coming. Silly Burrito fucked around with this message at 04:27 on Jan 21, 2017 |

Jerome Agricola posted:When the falcons were up against the seahawks, i monkey paw wished they would go all the way to the super bowl only to lose painfully to whoever the afc decided to send. I'm starting to get just a little bit nervous. At least it isn't against the steelers. Pats are just a little less evil and a team i can honestly root for. Against the falcons that is because gently caress the pats but gently caress the falcons more. Sorry atl fans, you cool tho. Wishing for your heated rival to even make the Super Bowl:

Jerome Agricola posted:It was a moment of weakness when I just couldn't bear the thought of the seahawks making it to another one. And a second moment of weakness when I felt the same about the packers. I have a lot of irrational dislike of random teams. And here we are now. Having to root for the pats. How awful. Two years ago, we took a cruise during the Super Bowl. They put it in the main theater, and had a tailgate party where roughly 90-95% of the people were rooting for Seattle. Five percent of us rooted for the Pats, and on the final interception, you've never seen a room so full of positive energy just suddenly deflate. It was glorious.  The only issue I have rooting for the Pats: if Brady wins, he now has five rings. I've always admired Joe Montana even as he was carving up the Saints and I think he is the best QB ever. If Brady has five Super Bowl rings out of seven attempts, would he now be the best QB ever? I realize the RINGZ argument is hollow for some, but that's pretty freaking impressive to get five Super Bowl wins in a career. Not anything to lose sleep over, though.

Our local TV station had a crawfish Super Bowl to predict the winner. Sorry Atlanta, Tom Crawdaddy scored the winning TD via a slow QB scamper. And then was promptly boiled and eaten.

Serotonin posted:Also can some wiser and more experienced heads try and clue me up as to what Shanahan and Ryan were doing on that drive with 5 mins on the clock and on the 40 yard line? Why didnt they just hand it to Freeman 3 items, take a yard or two, run the clock down and then get Bryant on for a FG? Seahawks fans were asking themselves something very similar two Super Bowls ago. Hindsight and all that, but yeah, that's exactly what they should have done. Shanahan got cute.

Shimrra Jamaane posted:Forgive me for asking but why do Saints fans despise the Falcons so much? The same way two brothers who are very much alike can have a heated rivalry. We hate each other's teams, because that is exactly what you are supposed to do. In my mind, any Saints fan rooting for Atlanta last night is not a true Saints fan, no matter how much you detest New England. I wouldn't expect them to cheer for us if we made it back to the Super Bowl. It's just a good old fashioned rivalry.

big money big clit posted:The one constant in the NFC South is that no one stays at the top for very long, so I expect the Falcons reign to be short lived, not for any specific football reasons, but because that's just the way it is. Plus, you talk about the mother of Super Bowl hangovers, Atlanta is going to have this hanging around their necks for a loooooong time. Look what happened to Carolina this year. Hell, even when the Saints win, the next year was the 7-9 BEAST MODE playoff game first round loss. Can Atlanta make it back to the playoffs next year? Sure. Do I think they will? Nope.

Jiminy Christmas! Shoes! posted:I know this sounds twisted, but I was thinking in a weird way, Atlanta was the best team to lose that Super Bowl. Can you imagine the vitriol that would be directed at the losing team if it had been Seattle, or Dallas or New England that had blown a 28-3 Super Bowl lead? It would be a never ending parade of memes and jokes for months and months. But Atlanta? They've never called themselves America's team. Their fanbase never attempted to claim credit for wins. They don't have spoiled, self-important fans. No one really cares enough to make fun of them, aside from Saints fans. Memes, you say? Oh we've got the memes. Oh yes we do.

Yep, it's gonna suck when he's gone, but we still at least won the Super Bowl when we made it there.  Who knows, Sean Payton might get lucky and find another Brees. Probably not, but you never know.

So is there anyone you're hoping your team drafts this year? Hoping for linebacker or cornerback, but watch Sean pick Deshaun Watson or something else completely out of left field. I really don't want Fournette to be a Panther just as much as Fiz.

Jerome Agricola posted:Chris Mortensen and others reporting trade talks regarding Brandin Cooks. Teams involved: eagles, titans Well, as the Jimmy trade proved, Sean Payton is willing to wheel and deal his best players. Can't say I'd like this move as we have a promising young WR squad, and doing this would allow defenses to focus just on Thomas and Snead. Fleener is just an afterthought.

Chilichimp posted:Is that realistic, getting a first for Cooks in trade?

Hell yes we should get a first. big money big clit posted:Finding wide receivers for Brees has been one thing the Saints haven't struggled with. It wasn't that long ago that WR was a large need when Colston was on his way out, Jimmy was traded, and all we had was Cooks and Lance Moore. I'm glad Michael Thomas and Willie Snead worked out, but I still think they need to keep Cooks unless they get a hell of a deal.

Chilichimp posted:That's why I'm asking about the fire re:smoke. Cooks started it last year when he complained about not getting enough touches, and the thought at the time was "Closed mouths don't get fed." Depending on who you believe, he wants out / it's all a smokescreen / Payton wants him gone / he's staying for two more years. I mean, it's draft time, and crazy crap can happen (JIMMY WAS TRADED?????). But then again, sometimes it just doesn't. How many years has Sean Payton left the Saints or Drew Brees been traded away? But every year, there's always a rumor.... As far as feuding, the idea is that Cooks supposedly "knows" that Michael Thomas is the Saints star WR of the future and not him, thus the jealousy.
