It sucks that they would have 2 losses now if the Browns make their extra point.
Not really. It would have given them a 1 point lead instead of a tie. Wouldn’t have made a difference being that the Saints kicked a FG to win 21-18....
 
It’s really going to suck to go 15-1 and have to play at NO in the playoffs. I just don’t see a team that can beat them. But it is the NFL so we can hope. But we can’t lose another game for sure.

What's the big deal about playing in 'Nawlins? With Aqib back and Josh Reynolds & our young TEs stepping up, the Horns will be ready to play the 'Aints anywhere!

We are a different team with Talib, AND the Saints had their bye and we did not..we STILL have not had our bye....We will be an improved team in Week 13, and heaven help the NFL and the freakin' Saints!
 
The Rams will win since we know the Saints are the dark side of the force.

And, the Saints are not undefeated. Someone beat them. Rams will beat them!
 
That is the only way to think for Rams fans.

I have been watching football for almost 40 years. This years' Saints are one of the most unstoppable teams I have seen. Right up there with the 94-95 49ers quarterbacked by Steve Young.
 
All I know is that they are Scary Good and personally I would prefer NOT to see the Rams have to go back to New Orleans to play them! Hopefully, the Saints will lose another game or two and the Rams can get back the Home Field Advantage!

Just my opinion of course, but I don't think they've peaked too soon, I think they're just that good...Of course things are known to change in a nano-second in the NFl, so I'm hesitant to say anything is written in stone...
 
Who knows. But I think the Rams can play with them if they have a healthy Talib back and no further big injuries. Hopefully we'll see them in the NFC Championship game.
 
I do wonder what happened with that team. They were a perennial 7-9 team for about 3 years and all of a sudden they look unstoppable. What changed? The defense is decent but the offense is on a whole new level. Maybe Brees is just giving it 120% knowing he’s going to retire after this year.

Totally Agree! Unless, The Saints get an injury to a key player I think there is a pretty good chance that the Rams and the Saints will be playing again in New Orleans! No matter where they play (Still hoping it is in L.A.!) I think it would be a great game!

But yeah, they are destroying teams now. The Rams were the only ones who gave them a tough game recently.

The saints coach is stupid or arrogant. Bree's still in the game up 45-7 with less than 7 minutes left in the game.

I see it as the coach conditioning his team to score 40 plus per game. Now they are used to it they will continue to do it. Practice makes permanent

We should be pushing our offense to put up 40 burgers, we might need it come playoffs or Monday night for that matter.

Food for thought, the Rams will be getting Cooper and Talib back when (if) the Saints play the Rams, but it hasn’t been mentioned yet that the Saints will also have Marcus Davenport back. According to PFF he is the best pash rusher among rookie pass rushers.

So yes, the dynamic will be different should there be a rematch, but it won’t heavily favor the Rams as many here are presuming.

Now go beat the Chiefs!
 
The difference between the Saints and Rams offense is Payton likes to be a dick and run up the score, Mcvay shows respect.

With Talib back we will match up toe to toe with the Saints.

But, to beat the Saints we need Wade to draw up a great gameplan. You have to outscheme Payton. We did it last year and shut Brees up.

Yeah, they are ridiculously healthy right now. I'd be surprised if the injury bug doesn't bite them at some point since it seems to bite every team.

But healthy, the way that team is playing, it's hard to see them be beat.
