Oak posted a stat yesterday on the D ...

Not allowing a RB to reach 100 yards since 2017? That's insane/incredible considering the RB they have faced. Elite level back bottled up.

Scouting/drafting/acquiring good free agents/coaching (Nielsen) and players making plays on Sundays.

That D line is nasty. Cam J was great coming off the edge yesterday.

Great team win, obviously.

I just wanted to say how lucky we are to have a good PK.

I almost feel bad for the Clowns - us having been in the same boat in the past...

HAH. No I don't.

I don’t. I revel in it. Screw them.

Matt Bryant shanking a PAT, couldn't have happened to a nicer guy!!

I'm starting to hope the 49ers begin losing.

I do not want another scenario like 2011 where we end up being cost a first round bye cause of them or any other team.

We're going to need the #1 seed again if we are going to make a SB run.

We truly are suffocating defenses. Strangle the life out of them on the field.

Last RB to run for 100 yards on us was Samaje Perine, in the 2017 skins game where we erased their 15 point lead with 5 mins to go.

Think of the RB's we have faced since then. Truly a great stat.

Great Point, but I'd put it in this order Coaching, Players Making Plays GameDay, Coaching, Free Agents (including UDRFA), Coaching, Committment to DL in the draft, Coaching...

Saints can control this as they play the 49ers in December. Also the 49ers still have two games against Seattle, along with games against the Packers, Ravens, and Panthers. The Saints on the other hand have 5 division games in the last 8 weeks.

It'll likely be the 1st week in December before there's any real clarity as to playoff positioning. For now, the course is to just keep winning.
