TENINCH Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 Rams all the way! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BStanRamFan Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 We've waited 18 years for this moment to come again and you bet your a$$ it rubs us the wrong way to see the moment come with an even more uphill battle than it deserves. Just want a fair shot is all. If we lose handedly, I will tip my cap and root for you guys to bet whoever comes out of the AFC. But if we see ANOTHER game where the penalty yardage is lopsided in favor of the opposing team and ANOTHER game where subjective calls are favoring the opposing team I'm going throwing the coffee table through the window. Look for a late 20's bearded guy on barstool/WorldStar later that night. Take it as whining or making excuses, I truly dgaf, but if you waited this long for another shot at a superbowl and that opportunity became slighted by documented bias (intentional or not, doesn't matter), you would be doing the same thing.

49erurtaza Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 This is my take on this game. I don't care which team wins I hate them both, but I want to see a elite high scoring game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm only pointing out that with the Saints supposed vulnerabilities that everybody keeps talking about (including myself, many pages ago on this same thread), there's virtually no way they should win this game. The Saints are "not that good" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’ll take something they haven’t shown in months, or a sub par game from the Rams. Maybe both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Destructo Spin Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 I basically agree. If the Rams play like crap the Saints could win. If the Rams come in full power and firing on all cylinders, it'll be over by halftime. We just don't have the horses at this point to get it done in an all-out slugfest.

btfd16 Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 Weird how we feel about our teams as I feel the opposite. Probably because neither of us are the team we both were 3/4's of the way through the season. I still think the Saints are the better team because defense. Vegas agrees even though it's only half a point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You guys are at home. You guys have kamara who is a match up nightmare for any team, let alone a team with a weaker LB core. You guys have a top 5 WR who has already torched us, not to mention a HoF QB and a above average defense. We might be playing the ref card but you guys are playing the underdog card...which you can't cause you're 14-3 at this point and the number 1 seed....

We haven’t been all that great offensively for a while. What we’re capable of and what we do on Sundays are two different things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyler735 Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 "If the Rams play like crap the Saints could win", "it'll take something they haven't shown in months, or a sub par game from the Rams" Unless this is taking the whole reverse jinx thing to the next level, I just don't think these are great takes. In reality these two teams are pretty evenly matched. They are for the most part the same teams they were the last time they met with a few changes to each roster (Rankins, Cupp out, Ginn, Davenport, Anderson, Talib in). Last game both teams had no problem putting points on the board in a shootout. I don't anticipate a shootout this time around. It seems both teams have seen some improvement to their defenses in the 2nd half of the season. The Rams and Saints have both seen their fair share of inconsistency on offense down the final stretch of the season, and have shown that their offenses aren't the unstoppable forces they were for a good chunk of the year. To say the Saints need to show something they haven't shown in months to win wouldn't be accurate, nor would needing the Rams to play like crap to win be accurate.

Payton could have been easing off the gas pedal for the playoffs just like I think Mcvay and Reid were doing, you guys started off slow after 2 weeks rest. Nothing to see here. There is no pulling punches in the NFC championship game . We will see what both teams are capable of... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Saints are "not that good" I'm not buying it. I don't know any reasonable Rams fan who thinks the Saints aren't good. Before I knew you know who was assigned the game, I figured this was a 50/50 game. The Saints and Rams tied for the best record in the NFL for a reason. And it wasn't luck.

It wasn’t luck, it was all that money we raised to pay off the refs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
