Should Payton bow out and concede the division title?

Coach knew this and was be very proactive in his decisions that last drive by Tampa Bay. You have to make it look real when tanking a game so Tampa Bay almost doesn't make the 1st down deep in their own territory then all of a sudden they drive 50 yards in 30 seconds. Coach knew that he would rather face the Eagles in the Championship. That's my take! We could've pounded the Bucs yesterday but kept it close so we could go either way in the final minutes, win or lose.

Not agreeing or disagreeing because my tin hat and grass knoll t-shirt are both at the cleaners, BUT
I'd rather be playing the Panthers and then Eagles than the Falcons and Vikings

and, I have a feeling Atl will beat LA, negating our losing the #3 seed
so, you just might be right

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

Will?Teddy?

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.

Are you possessed or do you simply have multiple personalities?

Anyone know a good priest?
