I'm confused about the Saints/49ers

Theoretically the SB game was a road playoff game, which the Saints won. Also, it was an outdoor game as a reminder for all of those who claim that the Saints can't win outdoors.

And the conditions will be the same. In the 60's and the field will be damp.
Remember the Mike Bell slip. I think we learned what to do.

I gave up on the sports media making anything close to any sense. They are not there to report news or break down gameplay anymore. Now all they do is spin stories to get ratings and sway peoples opinion for the bookies. They talk out of both sides of their mouth constantly.

The best offense to ever suit up against a good defense. The extra prep time and rest will help but it won't make them the greatest defense to ever suit up.

As for the field conditions, they have to play on the same field!
Can someone explain to me how this is going to assist them getting pressure on Brees. It won't.

I like when they talk trash. It makes it that much more enjoyable when we kick San. Frans. a$$. I got a feeling the talking heads picked wrong. Saints by15.

All f our losses came on the road this year. All of our recent playoff losses have come on the road as well

I think it's stupid when ppl say we can't play on the road but there's some truth in what they say

At the dome we are unbeatable...away we struggle a good deal more
