Featured Discussion Saints Bye Week Game Day Thread

Looks like all these supposedly tough teams we’ve beat have just turned out to be pretty ****ty. We haven’t been tested yet. Carolina is going to be tough, Rams are decent and SF is real. Don’t get surprised when we get our asses handed to us.

SF has the easiest schedule in the NFC. Both they and New England are beating up on cupcakes. One of them is battle tested and the defending champs, the other is still a question mark.

Another team benefiting from playing cupcakes - the Packers, who even with an easy schedule needed ref help to get past Detroit. It's going to really help Green Bay this year that the NFC North is turning out to be crap yet again as it always has been in Aaron Rodgers' career when they dominate it.

We've beaten better teams than all 3 of those teams.

The key to beating SF is shutting down their run game and make jimmy g beat you and neutralize their pass rush to expose their SUSPECT pass defense. But they are a solid overall team. Now the packers they are as overrated as it gets you are totally correct.

I agree with you on beating SF. They really have not faced any teams with threatening offenses yet that can hurt them. Maybe the Rams, but that team hasn't looked the same since the Pats undressed and exposed their offense in the SB.

The Packers are overrated as hell. They are the REAL team who benefits from a crap division, as I have posted many times demonstrating. They will squeak into the playoffs thanks to the NFC North being god awful, and then go one and done or get embarrassingly blown out in the divisional round.

I also like to remind people on day's like this - Aaron Rodgers has a career losing record on the road. Remove the games at Chicago, Detroit and Minnesota, and his QBR and other stats drop to the floor.

San Diego giving em the business so far out in sunny CA.

Week to week league.

For you guys who talk about the refs and stuff, Green Bay is the one team that really would concern me in that kind of scenario.

I have never seen another team besides Seattle get the calls the Packers get in the playoffs. They even get them on the road. See 2016 when the refs called a bizarre WTF call on Dallas that had not been heard since the 1980s and late in that game, they called back a Rodgers INT on a tick-tacky call to keep them alive in the game.

If GB makes the NFCCG, I'd be scared they would try to help them to get that long awaited Rodgers vs Brady SB. Green Bay is the league's golden calf.

Green Bay is so badly exposed in this game.

Chargers basically running that same 2015 gameplan that Denver ran. It's not hard to beat Aaron Rodgers. You blanket everyone down field, then rush him with 4 and be ready to knock him down when he escapes the pocket. He isn't going to bother taking risks throwing into tight coverage, he'd rather take the sacks or throw out of bounds. His stats will still be fine though cause Rodgers always has played to protect his stats over winning.

Most overrated HoFer QB of this era, bar none. GB went 7-1 thanks to playing a cupcake schedule and their defense. They were barely winning games against trash teams. 2 blowout wins against the Cowboys and Raiders, big deal.

Russell Wilson with some late heroics ...

Good game vs Tampa. 4 minutes left, Seahawks up by 7.

He should win MVP for the fact that team really would be trash without him. They have struggled immensely to bad teams. Wilson is pulling magic plays out the hat kinda like 1991 Randall Cunningham.
