Saints are playing better than Packers

MatthewT · 12-28-2011, 02:59 AM

Green Bay is pretty much in the same situation as the Saints were back in 2009. They have it all wrapped up, and I guarantee you their intensity will pick up big time once the playoffs start. Yes, the Saints are playing better right now, but that for the most part is dog crap. Once the playoffs start, the Packers will be on their A game. As much as I love the Saints, they have limited ability in Lambeau, of course if they get there. The Saints have a long mountain to cross before that can happen.

I agree with you about the Saints in Lambeau. That is where the agreement ends. What are you talking about the Saints playing better being "dog crap"!?!?!

Did you just see an 92 yard kick-off return from Sproles? Did you just see Shanle and Jenkins steal the ball from the Falcons and take it to the house?

Did you just see MN almost take out GB and KC actually do it?

Furthermore, call it naive optimism, but I suspect the Saints can match GB in "intensity" level. Did you see the love in the locker room after the game? If the Saints are going to get back to the SB anytime soon, this is the year, and I suspect everyone in that locker room knows it.

How come you don't?

Home field has a great advantage for the home team but the Saints, in my opinion, have the better team. Better o-line, better run game, similar WR's, TE's and QB's on offense.

The Saints have better special teams (thanks Sproles) and I believe that the Saints defense is better at stopping the run. The Packer's back seven is better than the Saints, though.

If the Saints meet the Packers in Lambeau, they have a terrific opportunity for success. If the weather is poor the Saints superior running game is favored.

And whodatcat, Matthewt has been around awhile. Don't be too quick to question his loyalties.

OK, I removed the trolling comment. But, I don't understand the "dog crap" analysis. WUWT?

BTW, I just got banned from the Falcons site. Ha!

After the Seattle loss, they came over to our boards and just ripped us. I haven't let them forget it.

They were blaming the Monday night loss on the refs. I called them class-less and said Atlanta is NOLA's poor step-sister. Guess I should have said what I really thought: Atlanta's fan base is as big a pu$$y as their team and their coach.

It's not a big deal Who Dat Cat. MathewT is trying to say how anyone is playing right now doesn't mean anything if they lose in the playoffs. AND Green Bay has the intensity that the Saints had in 2009 which is a strong case. We did have the momentum and we were unstoppable.

I don't think he's trying to be antagonistic. He's definitely a loyal Saints fan.

Some on this board make strong comments with hopes we all stay serious and focused and that it permeates from the Fan base to the team

The article doesn't get off to a good start when it says Packers had to come from behind in the 4th quarter to beat NYG. They didn't. Packers never trailed in the 4th quarter in all that 19 game win streak.
