Hindsight 2020 but beating the Ravens college offense last week didn't exactly make me think they were going to favorites in Gillette. Some CBS idiot also said "weather won't be a factor" bullshit, just because it's not wet or windy doesn't mean it's easy to play in 25°.

The three safety look worked against a running QB but not against a committed power attack. Edelman with a week off looked like he could get open at will.

Tbh I agree. As a Steeler fan I often come across Kaliwamus' opinions and his fandom is definitely unique and AT TIMES enjoyable. IMO he's at his worst being insanely overly critical of the Ravens in a devils advocate kind of way(which is what I think upsets most people), and at his best rooting for them in strange, obsessive ways.

The Chargers put 28 points on the Pats as the visiting team, which isn't bad. Pity that the Pats' offense took a bunch of stem cell smoothies right before the game and one-upped them.

To put this game in context, the last time they shithoused a team so much in the first half was Tebow and the Broncos.

I don't know honestly, if we lose this we're pretty much screwed. We do have the 2000 points allowed record but I don't hold that in especially high regard because of the quality of opponents. The 970 yards rushing though maybe.

I really have no idea how the Rams/Saints game is going to shake out. The Rams are tough but haven’t been super killers of late and while the Saints are good they only put up 20 points against an Eagles defense with something named Josh Hawkins.

I think both of those teams are going to lose to whoever wins the AFC championship.

I figured the chance the Chargers could win against the Patriots at Foxborough was like 15%. Glad I skipped the live game because drat, that was ugly

FizFashizzle posted:

i can't imagine this rams team beating the saints next week if it comes to that.

Meh they barely even uncorked the pass game against Dallas because it wasn't necessary. When they did pass there were getting significant gains almost every time. If they have trouble running the ball against the Saints, which may or may not happen, Goff can totally threaten the secondary. I think the O line matches up well to the Saints as well, so we may see Goff throwing from a clean pocket where he's at his best It could definitely happen, the Saints did not look like worldbeaters yesterday and the Rams have scored 129 points in the last three games so the offense is hot. I favor the Saints because it's in N.O. but the Rams are talented enough to put up a fight.

Mahomes has apparently been gunning for Brady since he was a freshman in high school according to this.

Hell, he might have been for all I know.

Cardinals were 2 that year and got destroyed in Charlotte. They were the first (only?) 4th seed to host the championship back in 2009 though.

If the Saint lose it’s because their D finally played to their level.

Bree’s and co haven’t looked great in weeks, though they still should feast on the Rams secondary

they didn't feast on the Eagles' secondary which in the second half had a practice squad guy taking serious snaps. our pass rush may be better than the Rams but they've got legit corners at least

Michael Thomas had 170 yards. Brees had 300 and completed 73% of his passes. It wasn’t a blowout like the first game, but that was never sustainable.

Yeah the Saints absolutely tore apart the second half Eagles D but hoping your opponents just die isn’t very sustainable.

I dunno, it’s worked alright for most of the year.

Really the hope is that the Saints can run the ball on the Rams surprisingly poor run defense so that they don’t have to have Brees drop back 40 times while they try to block Aaron Donald.

That and getting pressure on Goff and not giving him time to go through his reads.

The Eagles aren’t a great team but they did beat the Rams not that long ago in LA and beat the Bears in Chicago. They had some late season mojo and I’m just glad the Saints pulled out the win, even if it was ugly.

I mean I think y’all win more because your D is playing much better than they should and if they continue to do that you should be fine.

But after the Pats game who knows what can happen.
