Re: Bonafide Deep-Fried Nice And Greasy Power Rankings
Well, considering that the Chiefs screwed the pooch last night, the Rams have the much easier track to home field advantage. Of their remaining games, only one team has a winning record. By contrast, the Saints play four games against teams with winning records.

Re: Bonafide Deep-Fried Nice And Greasy Power Rankings
How do the Rams get so much cred after playing in that poop-show last night where defense was an afterthought, I have no idea.
Granted they are 10-1 and 1/2 game ahead of the Saints, but that will end after this week because the Rams have a bye. I felt the Saints win against the Rams was convincing. Sure we let off the gas, but we put our foot back on the gas and left them in the dust. |

I would call Mahomes performance on the last 2 drives "rookie" at best. Throwing lame ducks into triple coverage does not make you MVP. I'm pretty sure Joe Tessatore got his teeth stuck in Mahomes jock strap during postgame. Again, entertaining game, but some of the saddest defense from both teams I've seen all year. And the Rams DB's could not cover KC's wide receivers - just like we saw in the Saints game. |

One thing I know for a fact is the Saints are playing at a level of confidence that is much higher than anyone else, even when we made our run in 2009 to the Super Bowl. I've seen this team grow since the Browns game to where the defense has caught up with the offense and now when kickoff happens, I have this feeling the Saints are well prepared for anything. Honestly the Eagles game got so boring by the 4th quarter that I searched cookbooks for my mom's Oyster Dressing recipe for Thanksgiving. Everyone watching the game felt the Eagles had no chance to make a comeback. My family members at the game were texting and saying the same thing. |

Very Solid (as in NFL Best) at: QB O-line (plus solids subs) Running back Wide Receiver (with improving #2, 3) D-Line (solid subs as well) Linebacker (especially against the run) Kicking Play Calling Good and Improving at: Tight End Corner Safety Not many, if any holes, as we move into the home stretch. |

Its the entertainment/business side that we chose to ignore so that we can forgo being cynical about our 'sport'. |
