I don’t think anybody is going to be a gimme. That’s not how the NFL works.

You don’t think home team players play with more intensity they feed off the home crowd? Therefore they make better plays?

I’d honestly rather play Dallas.


Me too, absolutely. Defending Super Bowl Champs playing much better than they did last time the Saints played them.

Give me Dak. I like the guy and as much as I've always hated Dallas Dak is a stand up dude. But I'd rather face him than Foles next weekend.

He's just taking your words literally, that is what lsupride does

I dont think they will actually be scared, but it will affect their play and this is just what fans call it. QBs can get intimidated from playing in a loud venue like the dome, though.

Not at all

“You don’t think players play harder when they are getting yelled and cussed at by thousands of away fans?


Once again, no I don’t

Foles looks way too comfortable for my liking and he has better weapons.

I really don't know who to root for tbh..

AND NOW FOLES THROWS AN INT

Dude, are you serious?

He is literally saying it’s an emotional advantage

That isn’t me playing word semantics

And you actually agree with me....

That's a fair opinion to have.

He doesn't share that opinion, which is why he agreed to disagree.

In the midst of his posts, you said this:

quote:

So you’re saying the Saints have zero advantage playing at home, in the Dome during the playoffs.


Which is not what he was saying at all.

That's the only issue here.

Especially QBs like Trubisky and Dak who have never played a road playoff game unlike Foles. Foles has been there and done that. He’s a Super Bowl MVP. Look at some of the throws he’s making against the best D in the league ON THE ROAD.

Y’all really want to play THAT instead of Dak and Mitch?

Ok. I find it interesting you think grown men will try harder to play better in a playoff game depending on location

But we will never change each other’s minds

You post way too much for someone that doesn't use basic punctuation correctly. Do you have a life outside of Tigerdroppings?

I am agreeing with both of y'all. You're disagreeing with him but saying that same thing.

"emotional advantage" is quite broad. I dont think players literally shudder when they play in the dome. But the crowd noise affects players emotionally, especially QBs who have all the responsibility on their back.
