All Hail GW.. seer of the future ...

I was 1 TD off on each team... ( see prediction on page 1 )

[00z28bubba]

always nice to see the pats not get every flag they ask for

[0rion]

I see this going a variety of ways and I can't definitively pick a winner... heres my scenarios

1. Saints just flat out blow them out and bring to light how weak the Patriots defense is these days because of key players either lost or retired.
2. Patriots beat the hell out of the Saints bringing to light that maybe the Saints have to lose a game
3. Patriots win but just barely in a knockdown all out war classic game
4. Saints win but just barely in a knockdown all out war classic game

I do think the Saints are a beatable team. Teams like the Colts and Vikings can beat them IMO. The Vikings specifically. The Vikings are a stacked team just as the saints are. IMO the Vikings receivers are better, they have the best running back in the whole league and arguably just the best player in the whole league in Adrian Peterson. They have the best Defensive End this side of the retired Michael Strahan in Jared Allen. You name any weapon that the Saints have and the vikings answer to that, and imo with a better player. Favre> Brees. yeah i said it, wanna fight about it? lol Peterson>Bush Harvin>Colston.

Hell for shits and giggles and to get you guys goin Brady> Brees. Brady has many good seasons, Brees is having a great season this year. But everybody loves a winning team and tasty kool aid right?

As a giant fan in pain i'd like to take a moment to say: FUCK YOU SHOCKEY

anything else you'd like to comment on that you don't know shit about? trust me....one of these days you'll get over the embarassment the saints gave you guys a few weeks back that put you on a 4 game skid.

[0rion]

hummm...... so maybe i can take 1st all to myself this week.

you're a lying sum bitch...... I thought you were taking the pats.

[issues]

fuck!!! i cant believe this shit tonight
now i have to say fuck the colts and the saints!!

[1fastcamarosss11]

you're a lying sum bitch...... I thought you were taking the pats.

no way i was messing with you i knew you like saints. i was hoping you would change your pick. i made the pick on weds and stick with them. i did change the pitt game to the ravens. had to call the wife at home to change it for me, because i work so much on the weekends.

3 way tie for 1st.

[chiller2484]

man what a game last night! that dome looked like it'd be an intense place to play. the saints looked awesome last night. the patriots couldn't get anything going.

2 way tie...fsane dropped below us.

I was kinda drunk by the end of the game, but if I remember correctly they pulled Brady out with almost 8 minutes left on the clock only down 2 scores. Half way through the 4th even the Pats knew they could not compete with the Saints.

The only problem now is that I’m going to have to hear about Washington being a “let down” or “trap” game for the next week.

I was talking to the wife last night and it honestly wouldn't bother me if the Saints dumped a game as long as the vikings do too. Going into the playoffs undefeated will be a ton of pressure on those guys. I'd rather them get a loss out of the way during the regular season than in the post season. Who knows, maybe they are destined to go all the way but history has shown the odds are against them.

Don't worry Orion, they will lose on Dec 19th, 2009.

The saints do look good along with the colts... but I'd never want to go into the playoffs undefeated. The teams that win it are usually the ones who catch fire at the end of the year and are healthy going in. I like both of them along with the Vikes... but there are quite a few other teams I wouldn't count out. I am a steerlers fan and yes they are 6-5, lost 3 in a row, but 4 were by 3 points, the other 6. I definely wouldn't count them out if they can make it in.

[SMWS6TA]

I call:

AFC Championship game - Chargers vs Colts, Colts by 3

NFC Championship Game - Saints vs Cowboys, Boys by 10















Of course I am blinded my bias for the Cowboys so it will probably look like this:

AFC Championship game - Patriots vs Colts, Colts by 10

NFC Championship Game - Saints vs Vikings, Saints by 7

[gwballin]

Don't worry Orion, they will lose on Dec 19th, 2009.

Wanna bet?

[0rion]

The best I see the cowboys finishing is 9-7. I bet they dump 3 out of the next 5 at a minimum. Could be 4 out of 5.

if the falcons dont beat the saints they wont lose until the super bowl. not saying they will lose the big one, my comment is geared towards the lack of competition in the nfc. vikes lost to the only all around tough team they played. other than the steelers game the toughest game the vikes played was vs the niners lol. i dont consider my team to be an all around good team.

believe it or not the saints normally have a tough time with Washington. Hell, over the years there really isn't a team the saints haven't had a tough time with. I think they have a pretty tough schedule remaining myself. Atlanta is probably the biggest test out of all those followed by Carolina because both of those are road games. I don't see anyone beating them at home this year. That dome is rocking this year.

[snaggeltooth]

since this is a thread about the Pats too.. WOW did they totally loose it or what ??? I admit they dont have the D they used to .. But will they get it together enough to win in the playoffs ??

I don't know what planet you are on, but the Ravens and Packers are pretty good too.

And another thing, I'd LOVE hte Vikings to play the Steelers again - the Vikings would not lose the second time around.......and if for some reason they play again this year, I'll bet heavily on it.
