Unfortunately I agree with this 100%. We'll have to beat them and the refs. And that's nearly impossible. They'll never let it happen. Name a small-market team with multiple Super Bowl wins. Anthony Davis is going to end up playing in Los Angeles. They would never let the Saints have a dynasty.

Best thing about this season.... the Saints are the team that no other NFL team would like to play to get into the playoffs, or rather, have to play against them to proceed further into the playoffs

Challenge: Win on the road to get to a Super Bowl. Rams could drop a few, but I ain't seeing it for the rest of their schedule.

But before all that, let's get this division in the bag.

I remember thinking way back when we had the Ravens, Vikings, and Rams that I'd be happy with 2 of those 3 and also figured we'd probably drop another one between the Bengals, Eagles, and Failcones.

And we're 10-2, so I was wrong. Our team is clearly resilient. I wouldn't be surprised if we dropped one to Carolina, and the Bucs will play us tough as will the Steelers, but Pittsburgh is not nearly as good on the road as they are at home.

So, we'll see, but as much as I hate we've probably lost home field, nobody is going to want any part of us in the playoffs, Dome or away, and if we can get Ginn back, Katy bar the door.

The Bears will beat the Rams. We just got to keep winning. I could see them losing to Seattle too

Bears lost to the Giants, Chase threw 2INTs. Bears aren't beating the Rams without Mitch.

I'm not convinced they'll beat the Rams with him. The Giants just hung 30 on that "vaunted defense". How many will the Rams hang on it?

Nothing wrong with wishful thinking I guess...

They have already beat Seattle twice. I cant see them losing another. We will just have to beat their ass on the road.

Lots of football left.

Arizona is a divisional foe & Philly is still fighting for a spot in the big dance. I stand by my hot take that the Bears will defeat the Lambs next Sunday.

Saints simply need to take care of their business.

Nothing is final until it's final.

I hope you're right about Chicago. I don't think you are, but I hope you are.

You are absolutely right about the Saints needing to take care of business at any rate. None of our remaining games will be easy.
