We are the worst 11-5 team out there, except maybe for The Panthers or Rams who may be worse. We are better than Minnesota and the Eagles but they each have 13 not 11. so it don’t count.
Almost all your post about the saints are negative toward the saints, or you sure you're a saints fan. You come across like you're the type a guy that no one would want to be in a foxhole with because of fear, doubt, and so much negativity. The saints made the playoffs, won their division and you're talking about conceding a title! Really! If you know anything about football, winning 11 games is not a easy task

so we are better than Minn, the Eagles, Rams and Panthers?? That seems good.

Interesting paradox with how we'll be 1&done when we play Carolina next

Truedat Scotty boy!!!

So he says we're the worst 11-5 team out there, but better than 4 of the 5 NFC teams? That leaves Atlanta, who we split with but realistically beat twice.

That makes zero sense.

I'll be honest, we aren't the best (on paper), but we can beat any of the 11 teams if we play our A-game.

Here's my "power rankings" for playoff teams

1. Pats
2. Steelers
3. Vikes
4. Saints
5. Chiefs
6. Rams
7. Falcons
8. Eagles
9. Titans
10. Panthers
11. Jags
12. Bills

But I will admit I didn't watch many of the teams this year due to the protests, so its my opinion on what little I saw and what I've read from the "so called" experts.

The Vikings have been solid all season (specifically their defense) but if they have one bad game in the playoffs ... it's over. I'm still not buying into Case Keenum when the game is on line.

We shall see.

They got beat by Carolina and we are a completely different football team than week 1.
None of those teams are unbeatable.

Re: Should Payton bow out and concede the division title?

Just like people that said after two weeks the season was not over, this one game also does not constitute the season. We won 11 games this year and lost 5. We have the same record as the Panties and we beat them twice. That means over the course of 16 games we earned the division title.

I guess we should have bowed out in 09 when we lost our last 3 games of the regular season..
