I don't believe in resting your starters unless they're hurt. It's not like they've been playing well and could use the rest.

Back-ups are playing about as good as the starters do against the Bears. I think this is a way to lose, but save face.

Lose three in a row to end the season...pitiful.

I eat my words...and I'm not fond of crow.

Two big time throws in OT, nice job, Cousins.

Niners will be tough.

I hate them and they're my son's favorite team...I might not invite him over next weekend.

I hope this win gave Cousins a ton of confidence going forward.

vikes took a lot of injuries today on D and we are decimated in the D backfield, next week will be even harder…that's why they play these games tho. Vikes will have to control the TOP in SF as well.

NEXT MAN UP!

I'm going to go back on what I said previously a bit and say that Spielman and Zimmer earned another season of employment with the team after that win in New Orleans. Pretty hard to fire them when literally no one outside of the team itself had them winning a playoff game this year, let alone going to beat a 13-3 Saints team on the road.

Furthermore, Cousins will be getting a long-term deal this off season thanks to playing his part in that game and a very solid individual regular season. He is doing what they paid him to do - be a well above average QB who is clearly a tier below the elite guys of the league. That is, he's not going to will the team to big playoff/title pushes single handedly on his own, but he also can perform very well against bad teams and not lose it against great teams if the rest of team does their job. Today's game was a textbook example of him earning his paycheck. Overpriced yes, but that's the way things are if you want a QB that doesn't absolutely blow in the NFL.

They'll extend him on a deal that takes him from his remaining 1 year deal to 5+ more years with the team. I'm more than fine with that, because he's still only 31 with a strong track record of durability and just proved he can take us to big wins, just as we were promised. That and the simpe fact that it's not like finding a franchise QB in the draft instead would be anything short of a horrendous bet with this franchise. So I say lock Kirk up because this is easily the best franchise QB we've had in decades excluding 2009 Favre.

I did!

I wouldn't have bet money on us winning today, for obvious reasons. Every game is going to be a massive challenge for a 6th seed team that will play every playoff game they make it to on the road. That's especially when you're talking about playing 13+ win teams with elite QB's in tough environments to play in like with the insane playoff crowds in New Orleans.

That said, I always felt like this was our best matchup to start off with if we had to make the playoffs as the 6th seed. Yes the Saints were excellent team this year, and yes they should have been able to beat us, especially playing in New Orleans. Despite that, it was still a dome game, where we obviously always naturally have better odds in than going to an outdoors game in Janurary. I also consider us lucky for getting San Fran in the divisional round, because I give us a better shot there than outdoors against Green Bay or Seattle. At this point, our luckiest path to the Superbowl would be ending up with a 2017 NFC title match in Philly. So, in the words of Mike Tice... "Go Eagles! E-A-G-L-E-S. *grunting chuckles*".

 

[GhostOfPoverty]

Yeah alright, and Vikings homers like ourselves gave them a chance lmao. I'm glad the entire media had them getting slaughtered by the Saints, though. I want them to keep saying we have zero chance against San Fran and any other potentially opponents if we make it any further.
