DigInBoys Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 With all of the controversy over the call yesterday. I do think on a neutral field without the crowd drowning out playcalling and a healthy Gurley the Rams are the better team, though I am admittedly biased.

Destructo Spin Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 The Rams were probably the better team overall but the Saints probably match up better with the Pats because their defense is a little more versatile in the back 7. But we'll never know. I will just say I think the Pats will win and this will be a relatively high-scoring game, both teams in the 30s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
candyman93 Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 Rams because I feel they are more physical in the trenches than New Orleans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lancerman Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 Saints have the better defense imo. But Rams have more versatility on offense. They are both tough in different ways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goof played a good game, Brees missed a few throws. But Rams dline did a good job getting pressure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That wasn't pass inference. John Johnson was playing the ball and Thomas turned right into him. And let's not forget that Goffs pick was due to a Gurley drop. Goff undoubtedly outplayed Brees. I didn't think we could win if we didn't get the ground game going and he proved me wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeotheLion Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 As for this question, I think it's close but I lean Rams with some bias. 1. Rams run defense all of a sudden is pretty solid. I attribute a lot of that to how good Suh has been. Still say Saints have a better run defense but it is super close. 2. Rams have a better pass rush with Rankins out and have a better shot to put pressure in Bradys face. 3. Secondary is a wash imo. Rams have more playmakers but we never know what version of Joyner and Peters will show up. 4. Big difference for me is the Saints really don't have any offensive playmakers other than Thomas and Kamara. Gilmore could hold his own with Thomas and I'd trust that Bill would have a plan to eliminate Kamara with 2 weeks. 5. Finally I think Rams O line is better right now. Maybe it's just that the Saints O line is beat up but Goff had a fairly clean game for playing on the road in a lot of obvious passing downs.

Thomas5737 Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 I don't think the Saints would give up 40 to the Patriots but I think the Rams will, so Saints. Patriots would have keyed on Kamara so Brees would have to beat them with his arm to other receivers but it's possible. I don't know who the Pats will focus on the Rams offense, if it is Goff we'll know early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thomas5737 Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 Brees was hit as he threw it wasn't like he just choked and threw a bad pass. It was a good play by the defense and whether he was hit in the head or not it didn't affect the play that was made it just would have changed the result but I don't think that is what this thread is about. It wasn't DPI in my opinion because Brees was hit as he threw and the DB didn't interfere with the receiver's ability to make the catch because the ball wasn't going to be there. If Brees wasn't hit and the DB was in the way of the WR's route even if he was looking at the ball he interfered with his ability to make the catch because he wouldn't have been going for the ball because the ball would have been 20 yards down field.

rocky_rams Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 Brees is the better overall QB but Goff is more clutch. If the Pats play the saints then the only way I can see the saints winning is by a blowout. But if it came down to the wire then I doubt the pats will want to face the rams because Goff is more clutch than Brees Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DB has a right to his spot on the field. It's not DPI for him to stand in his spot. He can't run into the WR, but if the WR runs into a DB holding his ground, it's not DPI.
