a 'real' superbowl? hahahaha, Lombardi is a Lombardi yo. I watched that game and I actually pulled for you guys. Jake kept you in that game. Ashamed to see what has happened to him.

I called the Saints to win the game (go check my post history, yo).

But I just expected to see them actually stuff it down the Colts throat, and Manning to throw like nobody's business. None of that happened.

The Saints didn't stuff anything. They dinked and doinked, and gimmicked their way to the win. What went on last night was a let down as far as that's concerned (and the commercials were just horrid).

It was a boring game from the standpoint that neither team took many risks outside of Payton's 4th down goal line attempts and the onside kick (which is ironically one of the biggest risks in the history of the SB). Other than that, both explosive offenses were playing not to lose. The Colts ran the ball more times in that one game than they did all season and the Saints were content with lots of short gains in the passing game.

The Colts blinked first and the Saints won by getting themselves into a position where the Colts couldn't afford a mistake. It's not to discredit the Saints at all, they won - but I thought it was funny that both these teams played pretty conservatively overall.

From the standpoint of fans outside of the NO's fan base, it was a boring game. But to Saints fans, it was the most exciting game they've ever witnessed. I mean heck, it was the SB and they won it. If us Panthers played that exact same game, it would be the most exciting game to us. The opinion is obviously biased from the fans of the winning team. He enjoyed it, it was exciting, and heck it should have been.

      Rams are willing to deal one of the 1st rounders for all-pro talent in secondary

      By strato · Posted

      They can get film of all the games? Every team? Wow! Who knew… Our games with them are big examples of why they are in  the CB market so hard.   It is the study they do getting ready for the games.  Preparing to play against is a little different than just analyzing film in scout mode. Deeper dive. Then you are analyzing post game too.  This goes to why players often change teams but stay in the division. The opponents know each other on a higher level.  Plus if you lost to us, you used to get fired. Now you have to trade your first round pick. Moving up on the world.

      I honestly can’t believe this team’s turnaround this season. It’s surreal. Figured healthy we’d be fringe playoffs and with another lottery pick could finally turn the corner, but we don’t even need that. This group is ready. We haven’t played remotely well the last 5 games and yet still blew out 5 bad teams by 16+ each game like it was casual practice. We had a few solid teams with Kemba and Big Al but this is easily our best group since the original Hornets moved to NO. Man, what a shift in culture this new ownership group and front office has brought. So damn happy to see it after years of suffering and consistently meaningless games in this stretch of previous seasons.   Only 2.5 games out of the 6 seed, although Miami, Atlanta and Orlando have been playing well too. Gonna be a fun final stretch, hopefully we can get a top 8 seed at the very least. Celtics tomorrow will be a good test. Would be huge to keep the road winning streak up against a very hot top team on the 2nd half of a back to back. We’ve played Boston pretty well the last few years with much of this same group despite sucking so I do feel pretty good about it. Kon is due for a huge game coming off a few cold shooting games (although despite the poor shooting he’s been contributing well with defense, assists and rebounds).

      It amazes me how underrated Horn has become after he finally was able to stay on the field. Sure last year wasn’t perfect but he was still a huge reason for our rebound defensively and I’d say he’s easily a top 10 corner. You don’t want to see Mike Jackson as our top corner. Any player is available for the right price but I’d be extremely hesitant to move Horn even for a big haul from LA.
