Featured Discussion Playoff Live Thread: Saints vs. Bears

Had they not overturned an obvious TD by Brees the final would’ve been 28-3

Won't show in the stat sheets but Malcolm Brown gets an A today in those trenches.

He's a dawg defensive lineman.

Why couldn't this weekend's game be a Saturday one?

Went to bed at 3:30 am and had to wake up at 6:30 am to go to work... no love for the international fans

Then you wouldn't have had Kamara available due to #WuhanVirus NFL protocols; and he was a difference maker - running off tackle on the edges...

Imagine if Sean would isolated Kamara with Manti Teo in the passing game - it's what Belichick would've done, but that would've been too easy...

Michael Thomas looks like he's getting back to speed, even if the Bears secondary was banged up, yet still not getting Sanders the ball downfield...

Playing this weekend against a weakened opponent in the playoffs may have been just what the Doc ordered for a team that's had it's share of chokes in recent playoff years...

Don't fall for that trap. Brady should never, never, be underestimated - pay attention to history, as in Atlanta 28-3 in Superbowl LI...

Arians looks to be getting the bugs worked out; Redskins were no slouch down the stretch; Saints should beat the Bucs, but don't disrespect, underestimate any playoff teams as we did with the Vikings - twice...

We also didn't have our best finisher this year at Defensive End - Trey Hendrickson; who should be licking his chops to face Brady and the Bucs offensive line...

Wouldn't be surprised to see the Bucs key on Hendrickson, maybe even shut him out, but allowing opportunities for guys like Onyemata, Tuttle, and Jordan...

Saints coaching needs to work the refs now for some of the dirty shots that have come T-rex's way - Hendrickson has certainly earned respect...

Andrus and Sean have apparently had the talk...

The Saints are 325 - 0 when allowing the opposing team to run the clock out to score a meaningless TD!

I read somewhere "PACE HAS THEM ON THE BRINK"
