I heard some guy ask on one of the talk shows up here if that also explains the Texans other 9 losses this season.

I wouldn't be surprised, though I can't see how we'll get all the way to the big dance given all our D-line injuries this year.

Saints back to all alone for the division lead, and all they need to do is win any 2 of the last 3 games to win it.

On another note, how many saw that Detroit/Philly game? I love snow games, so I had a blast watching it. I also kept wondering if Goodell and the rest of the NFL were worried if this was a preview of the Super Bowl weather in February?

Our boys managed to pull another win out of their butts. The price was high though. Gronkowski is out for the season with a blown out knee.

Yeah, but they were winning without him before. Winning ugly, but still winning.

They were but since then we've lost more guys. We'll make it to the playoffs but it'll be a struggle for the rest of the season.

You must be pleased with your Saints this year though.

Naturally I'd prefer 13-0, but I'll take 10-3 over what they were this time last year.

Sweeping the hated Falcons, and clown-stomping the even more hated Cowboys is a bonus!

I used to feel the same way about the Cowboys but then my Patriots won three Superbowls in 4 years and all the hate kind of melted away.

As long as my Panthers take the game in 2 weeks and your Saints falter one other time.......

I can relate partially. I used to hate the 49ers when they were division rivals, but after N.O. left the West it pretty much dissipated. Even the Saints loss to them in the playoffs two years ago couldn't bring it back.

And I even felt sorry for Atlanta during the Vick/Petrino fiasco year. Still hated them though.

Dallas on the other hand, will never get off my list. In fact, thanks to that egomaniac Jerry Jones, my hate has only grown.

Rams always play the Saints tough, so it could happen. But with so much to lose, the Saints know they can't afford to lose.

Vikes to sack Frasier and Ponder, AP to stay.

Get rid of Rick Spielman too

.

Vikes try to choke in the forth quarter but fail. Chunky Chip to eat more quinoa. News at 10.

People in Broncoland appreciate the job done by the Dolphins today.

.......sorry August, but you KNOW home field is a big deal.

I understand completely. Frankly with our extensive injuries this year i'm rather surprised that were even in playoff contention.

fred8615 · 12-16-13, 10:32 AM

Like I said, Rams always play the Saints tough.

But since so many other division leaders fell this week, it just seemed to be one of those weeks.

soopaman2 · 12-16-13, 01:53 PM

Happy with my Niners past 2 weeks especially.

Kaepernick has woken up, and used his feet in key situations.

He engineered a 10 minute drive, including 2, 3rd down and long conversions, using his arm and his feet, in the final quarter with them close.
Crabtree being back helped, Anquan Boldin, once again proving he is worth everything we paid for him.

The fumbled lateral by TB resulting in a Niner td, put the cap on a game absolutley dominated by the red and gold.

My problem with Kaep, is not his play, but his slowness in calling audibles. Too many delay of games.

Harbaughs playbook is notorious for qb reads, something Alex Smith did alot better, Kaep is a great qb, but too slow on audibles. Too many penalties for delay of game, no excuse at this point for that.

I am not saying take him out, he is a legit starter. Just simplify it for him.

He does not abuse running like RG3 did last year, he looks to throw first, just give him more clear cut options, and not make him read every lineup.
