What's the deal?
I want fair representation of the teams in the NFL. Especially the teams that are winning games.
I'm not wearing a tin foil hat but something stinks. Having Sanders and Irvin on that channel is bad enough but the lack of solid coverage on a good team is stupid.

Taking a neutral stance. The 49ers losing that game had a bigger impact on them than us winning did on us.

If we lose we are still #1 in the NFC South and fall to 7-3. The loss by the 49ers puts them very deep in the tie braking scenario. They still have to go to play Seattle, go to Tampa bay..

Given the Panthers play tonight... a loss would have had us tied with them...

Dont let who the networks bother you. Our performance and record speak for themselves.

It's not just the Saints. Seattle is 10-1, the NFC #1 seed, clearly the team to beat, and they don't talk about them either.
It's better discussion to talk about the NFC East where everyone is fighting for the best spot at .500.

The same way the clowns give a circus life.

They're idiots. And that's being harsh to idiots.

I watched about 10 minutes this morning snd you can just smell the bitterness coming off the screen.

Sweetness from the ashes of yesteryear when we were the ones on the other side of these types of games. It's our time to bask in the goodness... greatness of our team.

The NFL has a network? I thought it was a green screen showing pond scum, fetid droppings and a picture of Tammy Fae Baker.

Does it matter we dnt get coverage.. there's more than enough coverage in the chat and in the threads. We dnt need the media hyping us up we do a better job than them anyway.

I actually like Sanders and Irvin. I don't always agree with them and their lack of coverage of the saints but they don't sugar coat anything either. I remember early in the season when everyone was giving Tom Brady a pass for chewing out his receivers as well as his poor body language, you had deon and michael speak up and say you can't have that type of behavior from your team leader.

For that alone, I usually give them the benefit of the doubt.

The ANALysts on that network piss me off almost as much as BSPN does. Half of them are product of too many concussions, so they mumble through most of their segments. The other half are biased homers and never have anything positive to say except for the teams they used to play for. The only reason I even have NFLN is for Thursday Night Football, and the past few weeks have been just awful. When the Mr. and I go to Denver in December for the Chargers/Broncos game, I'm going to make an effort to find the TNF staff and tell them they all suck. (Except Marshall Faulk. I like him.)
