Game Thread: NFC Championship - Los Angeles Rams vs. New Orleans Saints

[Hank Kingsley]

Was looking forward to the rematch this weekend.....

Moi aussi.

Sadly they are still cleaning feces from the bed sheets in Dallas.

I freaking love the Saints. I remember when they were a joke for 2 generations. Once Brees got there and they started airing it out I was all on board, love the way they play. But I like the Rams too, and the Chiefs. I root for Andy Reid.

Just for the love of God I hope the refs put the hankies away, I can't stand this anymore. On every good play you almost expect a flag.

We good. We're still playing football and your team is not.

Had a parade and put up the banner yet for that win on November 29th?

Nope, but I remember it well.

More or less how I honestly figured things would turn out.

I freaking love the Saints.

They said they can't stand you Sissy. Brees said you eat your boogers and Sean Payton thinks you shit your pants.

 

[Battlelyon]

That's my coach!

Come on you guy can get this to three pages I have no doubt.

I've thought this was the Saints' and Drew Brees's year since week 8 when they took down the Vikings in Minnesota, and any doubts I had that someone might catch them and end their season before the Superbowl were put to rest when they beat the Rams the following week. The Rams should make it an interesting game, but this year feels like 2009 all over again - as though New Orleans simply refuses to be denied. It would be especially tough for the Rams to win with the game being in New Orleans.

If anyone can stop them, I'd say it's the Chiefs with their ridiculous offense if they can come out on top in what would almost certainly be a high-scoring shootout in the Superbowl. We'll see what happens though, I think every team left in the final 4 would be capable of competing for a title most years, so nothing would be that surprising. But for now, I still think the Saints win it all regardless of who wins the AFC.

I heard a handicapper on the radio yesterday that was saying the sports books will have any Super Bowl matchup this year as within a two point spread or less. I think he said the Chiefs versus Rams matchup would be a Pick'em but any other matchup would be within two points

I think they're all pretty even. I'm generally of the opinion that:

the Patriots toughest matchup is the Chiefs. Pats weakness is being on the road. Chiefs play man coverage more often than most teams and have matchups on offense that are hard to gameplan against.

the Chiefs toughest matchup is the Rams. Chiefs like to ignore the run game and you can't do that against the Rams. Donald can also outrun Mahomes. Probably will be a close game but Rams are better in close games.

the Rams toughest matchup is the Saints. Saints play good run D and can match the Rams tenacity in close games.

the Saints toughest matchup is the Patriots. Patriots love playing teams that only have two major weapons that they can take away.


I think there is still a chance that one of these teams has an extra gear and just surprises everyone.

because he stays aggressive & continues to try & score #1.

Not 1st thing become a simpleton Offense & just try & waste the clock. Giving the other team more chances with the ball.

Yeah I don't want to hear that the networks don't want a New Orleans/KC Super Bowl. It's as if they actually believe you need a major market to get Super Bowl ratings. LOL. Saints and Chiefs would put on a great show.
