Should Payton bow out and concede the division title?
 

The team I saw today didn’t deserve to be in the playoffs. One and done.

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

Frustrated I see. Let's take a look around the NFC:

1. Philly. Shut out. I guess they don't deserve to be there either.
3. Rams lost by 21.
5. Kitties had a chance to win the division. I guess they are piss poor too.

My first question is "Did anyone get hurt and won't be able to play next week?" If the answer is no, then today was successful.

Bad teams do not win 11,12,13,14 games in a season. They may have a bad game. But it's doubtful it's a bad team.

Let get ready for next week. If things go well, we'll get another shot of getting to the NFC championship game by beating Philly.

Did we finish 7-9 again ?? Saints started 0-2 and left for dead however this team reeled off 11 wins on the season ... 11. IMO we won the hardest division in the NFL.

The sun will shine on Monday.

This thread...

...just wow...

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

Unbelievable, simply unbelievable. What a waste of a thread.

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..

Dude .... Step away from the edge! :p

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

We were almost 7-9 again! Just 4 more losses and we would be sitting there yet again. Lattimore got beat and has showed he gets winded and isn’t in shape enough to cover elite corners. Kamara looked like a rookie. 4th and 10 on their own five and convert eventually leading to score.
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.

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

They made some mistakes, I'd rather them know they've got stuff to work on rather than going into the playoffs overconfident.

No one gave us a chance in 09 after losing 3 straight to end the season.

Try to remember that most of our 11 win roster, are guys under 23 years old and will only get better.

I'd love to win a super bowl obviously, but getting to the playoffs alone wipes that horrible 7-9 taste away and tells me this team is building for a solid future.

Dude you must be stoned. Put the crack pipe down.

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

When You stated if we lost four more games we’d be 7-9 is proof how foolish, and dumb this thread is......truly, hells bells how bout if had won four more we’d be 15-1!?! Yeah, not the best today but not the end of the world.

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

I will say this and probably regret it but here goes. The last Buccaneers scoring play with 20 second left was allowed by the defense called. I'm saying it looked like the defense was called to allow the Bucs to score and here's my rational. Atlanta was leading Carolina with 4 minutes left 19-10 when we had 20 seconds left. 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.

Interesting theory! :-)

So dumb.

This thread is so dumb in so many ways... thank you

The Saints get a home playoff game; where Drew Brees has never lost, against a team they handled fairly easily twice already. Sometimes the thing you thought you wanted isn’t the best thing for you. Let’s hope that’s the case for the Saints heading into 2018.

The Saints yesterday...

I thought he said put the cracked pipe down. Lol I use a stone to get stoned!

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

WE WON!!!!!!!.

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

Wouldn’t surprise if Payton saw the Panthers lost and decided to play soft that last drive to avoid injury.

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

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

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

Dude is making Will(insert team name here)81 seem reasonable and coherent by comparison.

15-5 Baby!

You beat me to it.

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

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

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

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?

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

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.

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

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.

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

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

Okay

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

Playing for the eagles is not a guarantee(well, really it is but they don't know that). I think it had to do with the fact we had the division title locked up then and wanted to preserve pissing off the bucs and still having a chance to sweep them next year when they should be better with a season under than new offense's belt.

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

I think Payton and Allen were probably in the locker room doing blow off strippers during that drive.

ahhh the good ole days

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

You're right, playing the Eagles is not a lock cause Atlanta just might beat the Rams ( I am regurgitating as I type this)
