On to The Lambs ... again.

Hollywood is the final hurdle between here and Atlanta.

The New Orleans Saints play host to the Los Angeles Rams in this weekend’s NFC Championship Game. A win earns a chance to play either the Rams or Patriots in Super Bowl LIII, which will be held in Atlanta Sunday, Feb. 3.

This is a rematch from earlier in the season, of course (at least one player has not forgotten). That game was a fast-paced shootout. Could we see another version of that this weekend?

I've followed this Eagle fan (he is from New Orleans) on Youtube for a few months now. He is the most unbiased, level headed & neutral football sports junkie I've run across in some time. Totally respect his opinion because he is not only fair but brutally honest on all teams.

Good insight.

The NFLN moved the Rams to #1 in their power rankings sliding the Saints to the second spot.

Being an underdog and disrespected suits the Saints fine.

Crowd noise will be more of a factor this time around, IMHO.

Also Goff is useless without McVey. Sean McVay makes pre snap reads for Goff, as it turns out.

Goff isn’t required to make complex reads from the pocket. More often than not, he’s catching the snap, faking a handoff and throwing to a wide-open receiver in the vacant areas of the field. This is backed up by the numbers: Only four full-time starters have thrown fewer passes into tight windows (a defender within a yard of the intended receiver), per Next Gen Stats.

Making things even easier on Goff, McVay makes a point to get the Rams lined up quickly so he can get a look at the defensive alignment and call an audible based on that look. We wrote about this tactic last season, and McVay is still doing it in Goff’s third year. Here’s a clear example of the Rams head coach calling an audible for Goff.

This may be the game to have a headset malfunction. Then neither team can use them.

I was at that rams game and the loudest i saw the meter go up to was like 110db which was the loudest game i had been to. till i went to the eagles last sunday when for every third down it was over 125db consistently and the max i saw was 128db on a few of them. If goff and mcvay think they arent gonna be louder than that or what they heard then wasnt that bad, then both of them are the arrogant *****s i thought they were.
