Edit: Never mind, I'm arguing with a post that agrees with me.

As a Niners fan, I'm more than willing to accept these predictions.
As sleazy as I find the Pats, if the results are the same as the Pats/Shehawks SB, I can live with the whole "Enemy of my enemy is my friend" deal with the devil.

The Chiefs are coached by Andy Reid. Should've knew better to put your faith in him.
Of course, it could be worse. My team arguably lost to the refs yesterday, but no one is talking about them blowing a 13 point lead AT HOME. We can moan about the refs all we want, but something went really wrong for this Saints team in the past month or so. They were never the same after the Dallas loss. I don't think the refs truly cost them yesterday. It's out of character for them to blow a 13 point lead at home. There was some bad play calling, Brees looked subpar and the offense in general has not been all that great since week 11. Loss sucks, but it don't hurt as bad as I thought it would. I at least got to see the Saints win a SB in my lifetime and there was something bothering me for the past month about them. I don't think they would've beat the Patriots just due to how bad the offense struggled since Dallas wrecked them. Just going to say I'm thankful to see two more post season runs this late in Brees career. Back 5 years ago, I felt we had wasted all the opportunities as we were stuck in a purgatory of 7-9. This was better than the Saints of my childhood where all you had to look forward to was a few wins over division rivals, if even that. |

He would have just changed his name to "Eli" or "Big Dick Nick."

The Saints offense has not been the same since Dallas wrecked them in week 11. I've watched them for over a month in a half completely screw around unable to do anything on offense. Brees before that Dallas game had a 29-2 TD/INT ratio. He went from that to a 7-5 TD/INT ratio in the last 7 games. They went from beating the brakes off teams to barely scoring 20 points a game for the rest of the year. Defense may win championships, but this Saints team was relying way too much on their defense at the end of the year. The defense bailed them out last week against the Eagles; as they did vs Pittsburgh, Carolina and Tampa Bay in weeks prior. No one is going to say it cause that non-call was so horrible, but Brees hasn't played well in the past month or so and something has been wrong with the Saints offense since the Dallas game. He didn't play all that well in this game either. I had a bad feeling after watching them screw around against the Eagles and unable to shut the door on them last week. Their biggest problem is that they had no other weapons on offense to threaten teams besides Kamara and Michael Thomas. Dallas figured out how to shut them both down and try to force Brees to beat them with a bunch of no name scrub receivers. Brees has looked like a 39-40 year old QB in the past month cause teams followed Dallas' blueprint of taking away their only 2 weapons on offense and forcing the Saints to try and beat them with guys no one has heard of. I got banned from a Saints forum yesterday for bringing up that they blew a 13 point lead at home. Saints fans broke their brains back in 2012 over Bountygate and go full scale Alex Jones lunatic crazy over stuff like this, so they're making up all these wild conspiracy theories how it was all rigged. I don't think it was rigged, refs make mistakes like any of us. I cannot fully blame the refs for yesterday cause I've watched them piddle around and do barely anything on offense for the past month. This game wasn't lost on the refs, they could've put the game out of reach earlier and even after, it was still on Brees to throw that INT in OT. If you watch a lot of Saints games, this game went very similar to the Steelers game from around Christmas. They blew a 10 point lead and the offense basically stuck their heads in the sand unable to do anything for much of that game after dominating the first half. Despite having a 10 lead, they let the Steelrs come back and nearly beat them that day. They ended up needing the defense to bail them out with a stop on 4th down and a turnover; yet could barely manage a TD to win that game (which needed 2 huge penalties to keep the drive alive and a miracle 4th down conversion) and yet even after that, the defense STILL had to bail them out with another turnover to seal the game. The Rams game went similar to this, except the defense was gassed and just couldn't bail them out one last time. This loss hurts, but I see no evidence that tells me they would beat the Patriots in 2 weeks. New England would instantly do what everyone else has been doing to them lately; take away Kamara and Michael Thomas. Bill Belichick is the GOAT coach, I wouldn't mind seeing the Patriots get #6. Already rooted them for before against Seattle and Atlanta, no problem doing it again. |

Words cannot describe how much I hate my own fan base. I got banned from a Saints forum yesterday cause I tried to have a rational discussion about Payton's play calling and the fact Brees did not play well in that game. I posted some stats from the last 6 games showing how Brees has not been the same since that Dallas game. Particularly, his bad TD/INT ratio of 7-5 and overall QB rating that has been below average. That enraged them and before they gave me the ban, they called me a "paid shill working for Roger Goodell", like the George Soros crap. I had been a member on that board going back to 2011, so I had years of posts but I apparently work for Roger Goodell, so I got banned.

New Orleans is a beautiful city. I grew up there and definitely miss it, but haven't lived there in 7 years. I was considering making a drive there had they reached the SB, but I am so glad I didn't. Everyone I know back home is talking petitions and a potential lawsuit. It's gotten to the point of embarrassment. Saints fans have not been the same since Bountygate. They've been the Alex Jones conspiracy lunatics of NFL fans ever since Bountygate. They can make a conspiracy theory out of anything. Any close loss is always the refs fault. Even last year against the Vikings, they managed to find a non-call to blame the refs. I thought I seen it all years ago when they made up all these conspiracies that Roger Goodell instructed the refs to make sure they lose the 2011 divisional playoff to the 49ers. (LOL a playoff game in which they had ZERO penalties. If anything, the refs let them play and the Saints got away with a number of late hits on Alex Smith in that game). Like I previously said, this game should've never came down to that point. They blew a 13 point lead at home and even after that call, they won the coin toss in OT only for Brees to throw an interception. The game wouldn't have come down to a tie if they would've played better on offense and had better drives. It's embarrassing now. They're buying billboards in Atlanta and some attorney is trying to sue the NFL over that game. This same fan base has spent years trolling the Vikings over Bountygate, but now they're acting like they're the only team to ever get screwed on a non-call. If the fans want to sue over this, they might as well sue Diggs for the Minnesota loss too. Such an embarrassment. |

Fucking Sore Losers.
I didn't know about Bountygate and all those accusations the Saints and their fans made against the NFL and the other teams. If you lose, you lose. Don't start saying everyone conspired together to make you lose. Bunch of pussies. |
