Who's Better? The Saints or the Chargers?
 

This is a stupid question. But NFL.com - Official Site of the National Football League is asking that question. Get the vote out.

It's pretty even with 73,000 votes so far.

It's close between the Bolts and us.

I'd love to see a SD vs NO superbowl.

Re: Who's Better? The Saints or the Chargers?
 

SD is playing better ball than we are right now. No question. And it's not just because of our injuries on defense. Honestly at full strength you could go either way, but I'll be a homer and go with the SAINTS!

Re: Who's Better? The Saints or the Chargers?
 

Right now, I think the bolts are playing better than we are.

Re: Who's Better? The Saints or the Chargers?
 

I think they are a tad better at the moment...But if we get healthy and focused...were a better team...more explosive.

Re: Who's Better? The Saints or the Chargers?
 

Are the Chargers trying to secure HFA for the playoffs?
Have the Chargers lost 1 game or less?

Re: Who's Better? The Saints or the Chargers?
 

Tobias said it best. We have the better team when healthy.

Re: Who's Better? The Saints or the Chargers?
 

Its a good argument. I think we would be close to even but we have more depth in the running game

Re: Who's Better? The Saints or the Chargers?
 

Records don't matter as much as win streaks and who's playing ball the best right now. We haven't played well since the Pats game. The Bolts are on a 5 or 6 game win streak and have been beating good teams soundly.

Re: Who's Better? The Saints or the Chargers?
 

We're on a 9 game win streak. After a lousy 2-3 start... we're 11-3.

Though I agree... that win over the Patsies was extremely impressive but things have cooled down a bit lately. Though I say "the question will be answered in the playoffs."
We've had a hard time with injuries too... mostly on our defense. Losing our Pro Bowl DT (Jamal Williams) and our Pro Bowl center (Nick Hardwick) in week one was rough. In fact, we've been through four DTs and now three centers this season.

I hope the bye week dose well for both teams!!!

Re: Who's Better? The Saints or the Chargers?
 

Me too!!! :cool:

Re: Who's Better? The Saints or the Chargers?
 

proves my point even more. Chargers are playing better right now.

Re: Who's Better? The Saints or the Chargers?
 

Question... any reason why they aren't questioning the Ponies?

Yes, they're 14-0... I get that. BUT they just barley escaped an upset to the Jaguars. Bengals are much better than the Jaguars and so are the Cowgirls.

Re: Who's Better? The Saints or the Chargers?
 

you know there is a saying..."you are only as good as your record says you are" I will go with that.

Re: Who's Better? The Saints or the Chargers?
 

I don't know what the obsession with the Chargers is around this site but it is getting sickening to me.


Edit ('cause I got the time)

I think it is time to address those who keep talking about the "classless" move Eli made back in '04. Essentially you are calling Archie out when you smack Eli for his decision. It was Archie's advice to Eli...not something Eli just pulled out of thin air. There was history.

I was in SoCal during the draft that involved Peyton and Leaf, and there were some pretty harsh comments made regarding Peyton, his ability to play football, and the Mannings in general...and it was all to justify their decision not to move up to get Peyton and to stay put and draft Leaf. That's the kind of organization Archie was trying to advise his kid to stay away from if all possible.

It really irks me that people go around saying, "He is dissing the NFL when he decides he doesn't want to play for whoever drafts him." I call "BS" on you people, because you know in your heart that if you are in a position to call the shots in your career, you are going to do it and you are not going to worry about what other people think about your decision, because, after all, it is you who has to go-on living your life.

Re: Who's Better? The Saints or the Chargers?
 

lol Bolt is just a squirrel that likes to post here LB thats all. Smack talking year around. It is cool. I stop in to other sites and post every now again about the saints. builds a bigger NFL following. spreads the word about B&G.

As for the match up... We need to get healthy to play them. Right now the deck is stacked against us with all the injuries. We need to get deper during the off season. So talking about the draft and FA is a good thing. never be happy with what you have and always look to get better. We need to work on more than position on this team. I want division titles to come year after year.
Right now IMO we would lose the match up

Re: Who's Better? The Saints or the Chargers?
 

The Saints would smoke them!

Re: Who's Better? The Saints or the Chargers?
 

Re: Who's Better? The Saints or the Chargers?
 

Absolutely priceless...:)

Re: Who's Better? The Saints or the Chargers?
 

Yeah, but records mean nothing when you play. No one gets spotted points bc they are 13-1.

It's all about matchups for Payton and how he can exploit them. When healthy, we have the advantage.

Re: Who's Better? The Saints or the Chargers?
 

Wow. Talk about a cheap shot. That hasn't even been brought up in months, but great job of living in the past. So talking about the Chargers sickens you because Archie got his feelings hurt because someone talked bad about Eli? Give me a break.

Re: Who's Better? The Saints or the Chargers?
 

Try again.

Re: Who's Better? The Saints or the Chargers?
 

Saints. Period

Re: Who's Better? The Saints or the Chargers?
 

I think Brees would like to show the Bolts how much of a mistake they made.

Healthy Saint's Beat Butts!!!!

Re: Who's Better? The Saints or the Chargers?
 

As the #1 draft pick, you are suppose to go to a team that's struggling and help make them competitive. That's why it's called the "NFL Draft" and not the NFL Job Expo.
All fans are passionate about their team. You insult the franchise, you insult them. If the tables were turned... it would be no different in New Orleans.

With that said, I though we agreed in a different post... don't get me started on Sheli and the 2004 Draft.
If you want to talk about what Archie achieved for the Saints... I'm down with that. Which has absolutely nothing to do with Sheli thinking he's so special that he deserves to pick his own team!


In 98, most people though **** would end up being the better QB. That's just opinion and prediction. That's all it is. Obviously very wrong too.

Since all you want is smack... I think it's time to activate ignore list.

Re: Who's Better? The Saints or the Chargers?
 

NICE!!! :mrgreen:

Re: Who's Better? The Saints or the Chargers?
 

I guess it really doesn't matter what the Manning's including ELI have done for the city (post Katrina), that anyone (B4L) can come on this site and say what they please and get the locals to agree.

Thats what Sickening!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Maybe a little upset that John Elway used the Butts as a whipping boy

Re: Who's Better? The Saints or the Chargers?
 

Ooops...My bad...They talked bad about Peyton. At least Archie had one son that turned out to be a great QB.

Re: Who's Better? The Saints or the Chargers?
 

Ughhhhhh. A LOT of people helped out after Katrina... including myself! Now I'm aware that others helped out more but most people put in what they could with good intentions.

I don't personally know any of the Mannings. They could be great people but that doesn't mean everybody should applaud the 2004 Draft situation.

Like I said "All fans are passionate about their team. You insult the franchise, you insult them. If the tables were turned... it would be no different in New Orleans."

That shouldn't be hard to understand. Now back to football.

Re: Who's Better? The Saints or the Chargers?
 

you're right back to football, and since you're so passionate about the Bolts go to there message board and post you're opinions and BS!!!!!

Re: Who's Better? The Saints or the Chargers?
 

Couldn't agree more. Why does everything look so rosy?

Re: Who's Better? The Saints or the Chargers?
 

I do post on their message board! :mrgreen:

But we do live in a free country and I enjoy talking to fans of other teams as well... especially if I like that team.

Re: Who's Better? The Saints or the Chargers?
 

Its the holiday season..its all good..B4L..isnt going to make or break us..lol

Re: Who's Better? The Saints or the Chargers?
 

Back to the question, right now I hate to admit that the Chargers would probably beat the Saints. If the Saints get healthy again then I have to go with the Saints. Going to be interesting to see how Stanley Roper and his Chargers do in the playoffs...

Re: Who's Better? The Saints or the Chargers?
 

LOL. In the beginning, we used that same image as an imitation of Norv.

I'm still not sold on Norv Turner but I think we can continue to succeed despite of him.

Re: Who's Better? The Saints or the Chargers?
 

I really believe we'll see a Bolts/Saints Super Bowl!!!

We own the Ponies and Payton. If we have to go to Indy again, we'll crash NFL's party again!!!

I think the Cowboys loss was a wake up call for you guys and a much needed one. The biggest threat you have is the Vikings and they are beatable.

Myself and other fans here would like to meet the Saints in the Super Bowl because they're an opponent that we can respect.

Re: Who's Better? The Saints or the Chargers?
 

the bolts are playing better right now. but when the pressures on the saints will survive

Re: Who's Better? The Saints or the Chargers?
 

i would also love to see a San Diego vs. New Orleans superbowl. That would be a really good game.

Re: Who's Better? The Saints or the Chargers?
 

Tough one... if completely healthy, I'd probably go with the Saints. But at the moment, I'd probably give the edge to the Bolts because they're on fire right now and we just haven't been performing like we did earlier in the year. With that said, the AFC has to go through Indy... and I don't think the Chargers can beat them.
