Case Keenum is the #6 PFF QB this year. He’s a good QB RN.

Didn’t realize you were a player on the Saints. Pretty cool bro.

I hope the Saints go in to a potential game against Carolina with that mindset. Rematches are always funny, as LSU fans know all too well.

Beating a team 3 times in a season? Pretty damn hard.

You're aware we've played twice already, right?

I hope we play Carolina again too.

An NFL playoff game could be hard though

Playing the Vikings would obviously be a better matchup as it would be a rematch and we lost the first one

Yeah I don’t think the saints are set at all. Our lack of legitimate receiving targets worries me a lot. I do think this is by far the best combo of o line , rbs, and willingness to run we’ve had under Payton. Offense travels better than it has.

Defense played great, but you obviously didn't watch the game


I did watch that crappy arse matchup unfortunately. Am I missing something? Did they not give up 19 points to Bryce fricking Petty? Don't give me shite about garbage time either. It was a 2 possession game when the jets took over with just under 4 minutes to go, and they drove 70 yards to pull within 5. That late Ingram TD put it away for good, but don't act like the Saints played a great game.

I think saying something is "clear" in the NFL playoffs is silly, but it has nothing to do with the cowboys last year. Saints have played a good schedule comparatively and are about to win the best division in football


You're missing my point, and no, the Saints haven't. Dallas beat 3 playoff teams last year. If Atlanta doesn't get in, New Orleans has beaten 1 playoff team.

The NFC South is also no better than the NFC East was last year. Saints and Panthers could finish 12-4, or 11-5. Dallas was 13-3, and New York was 11-5.

That's not the point. Everyone shite on Dallas last year for having 6 wins against teams with winning records. Said they had an easy schedule.
I'm not sure why you're bringing the cowboys into this. The saints lead the NFC playoff teams in both strength of schedule and strength of victory.
But yeah people chalking up Keenum and Foles as auto W are crazy. Going on the road is no easy task.
Speaking of Foles, Philly better play their starters next week. Getting things ironed out with that offense is worth the risk of injury.

Philly fans are probably nervous as hell knowing that Foles is the QB now. I think the Saints take the NFC

Link? What was Dallas last year?

Bottomline, New Orleans isn't a sure thing like the homers in this thread are making them out to be.

New Orleans has a better QB, RB combo, and defense than Dallas did last year.

Not to mention an underrated OL.

I'm not even a Dallas fan, so what's your point?

Just pointing out the asinine and flawed thought process here, that because New Orleans has looked good against average teams, they are somehow a lock for the NFCCG.

14th in SOS and 7th in SOV in the NFC.
But this isn't CFB, Dallas was a good team. When you're playing against Aaron Rodgers, shite is bound to happen.

Keenum has been awesome.

I do think the Rams have a good chance of beating them there, though.

But to say it's clear that LA and New Orleans will win in the 2nd round is asinine. New Orleans will likely have to face Carolina in the 1st round too, which will be tough. The Rams should beat Atlanta/Seattle rather easily.

I'm failing to understand this logic.

The Saints are 2-0 vs Carolina, 1-1 vs Atlanta (arguably could have been 2-0), beat the Bills by 37 in Buffalo, lost by 6 to the Rams in LA, and lost on opening night on the road in Minnesota.

Not even a Saints fan, but you seem salty AF.
