Patriots offense isn’t nearly as good as the Saints

You misspelled Brees. And he plays for the Saints so he doesn’t apply to the topic of the thread.

They can't stop the Saints with that shite defense so I don't expect them to go far in the playoffs. Andy Reid will see to that also.

Probably, and this is coming from a Rams fan. Even with that it is still a home field advantage for us. I imagine the LA fans are going to be up for an NFC championship.

and...

I definitely don't want to play the Saints in the Dome again. Saints are VERY tough to knock off in the dome.

Of course there are teams capable of beating them. But playing in the Dome in the playoffs really gives the Saints a touchdown advantage.


In the NFC, I think the Rams are the only team, in the Superdome, that would give them trouble. I think playing in Chicago in the cold would be bad but that’s not gonna happen

Saints haven’t lost a playoff game in the dome under Sean Payton.

This feels a lot like 2009's run, but even more impressive.

That 2009 Saints team took NE to the woodshed. 38-13ish? Or so..

I remember Brady was "benched."

Ikr, people are like well it depends where that game is.

Rams don't possess much advantage in LA.

Seems like equal size crowds.. and the conditions are favorable for both..

And this Saints team actually is tremendous outdoors on the road.. They have a remarkable running game with an incredibly accurate QB.. and a defense that continues to improve.

The Saints on the road is what is special about this team. Of course they are great at home in prime time games as well.

The Steelers are about the only team I see left who are legitimate threat to possibly beat them. Carolina is so inconsistent...it's possible if they put it all together and have a great game but I highly doubt it.

Even if the Rams were to somehow end up with home-field advantage LA is no home-field advantage. Did you see the Rams-Packers game? That was home-field for Green Bay?

The Cleveland Browns completely outplayed the Saints. If the Browns kicker didn't miss an extra point and 3 FGs, the Browns would have won that game easily. The Browns held the Saints to season lows in every category. Let that sink in for a second!

The falcons blow, but they tend to play the saints close. Usually the falcons do something stupid and cost themselves the game

I may be being a homer here but I feel like we're built to play in cold as much or more than any team on that list not named Chicago. I also think we'd bring 20k plus to LA for a game.

I agree with this. Chicago in nasty weather would be scary. I think we'd beat them fairly handily in the dome as Trubisky isn't quite at that level yet to go on the road in a huge game and win.
