Saints had a chance to avenge minnesota miracle last year in the playoffs and failed. Can they do it today?

Vikings may be out of it but they are a tough blue collar game. Dan Bailey needs to make his kicks.

Who do u got?

And now, for the Saturday games:

Bucs @ Lions - I hesitate anytime a road team is favored by 10 points. But Tom Brady has pretty much won the games he's supposed to win this year. This is a must win. Lions, however, are ripe for an upset. But Adrian Peterson MUST have a good game for them to win. Ever since Swift came back they been under-utilizin' him. Not smart.

49ers @ Cardinals - These NFC West games are always a crap shoot. This is a "home" game for both teams. Cardinals won the first matchup on opening day in SF.
Cardinals must win to stay ahead of the Bears in the wild card chase. Nick Mullens is on IR, CJ Beathard will start. RB Raheem Mostert is now on IR. But, star TE George Kittle is back and ACTIVATED for the game.

Dolphins @ Raiders - Miami has traditionally done good out in Oakland. Can they carry it to Las Vegas? Tua continues to win but I think it's the system helpin' him out. Davante Parker and Jakeem Grant are questionable, both missed last week's game vs NE. Raiders coming off a mini-bye and get Carr back.

************
MNF:

Bills @ Patriots - Bills played at NE last year in Week 16 as well, it was a Saturday game. They competed good but came up short 23-16. This time, it's on MNF. The last time Buffalo won in NE, it was the 16-0 shutout in Jacoby Brisett's 2nd start, during Brady's suspension. Otherwise they have struggled mightily in NE the last 20 years. They are poised to win this one though. They hare on a roll beating good teams and winning on the road. NE is free-falling and Belichik doesn't have much to work with.

Vikings defense looks just as bad as they did against MVP Mitch

Vikings give up 45 points. Gotta rethink the "Bears offense is improving" narrative.

I dont think Thielen got in for the TD.

That was a terrible call, surprised it wasnt reviewed.

_________________

Not a fan of the Saints throwing the ball with a 2 TD lead with 2 minutes left in the game.

That is terrible sportsmanship. Like stealing second in baseball with a 10-0 lead.

Really? You cant run the ball a few times and run down the clock?

Are u tryin' to set a record for Kamara?

From here on out I hope the Saints get their asses thrashed. Glad that KC beat 'em last week.

Fuck the Saints.

Bone off. It's a shitty thing to do. A dink and dunk pass is one thing, but not a 30 yard gadget pass down the field. The game was over. Fuck you.

The Lions and Vikings defenses gave up a total of 86 points this week. Bears feasting off real bad defenses. Don't buy the hype. The Bears are still a big mess!

Edit: Why does Bruce Arians have a huge battery pack on his chest?

So here's a guy pissed off about Tampa "running up the score"
https://www.yahoo.com/sports/tampa-bay- ... 17887.html

No dipshit, they did not run up the score. What were they supposed to do, stop playing the entire 2nd half? They put in their backup QB to get some work. Most teams would NEVER take out their starting QB until the 4th waurter no matter the score. The last points were scored with 7 minutes left in the THIRD QUARTER. It was great actually, to see Blaine Gabbert do good for himself. It was the type of game for it. There is also nothing worse than a team getting a 30 point lead in the first half and then lying down and the game ending up as a 1 score game. Has happened WAY too many times this year. By the way, I cant ever remember a game where the starting QB was taken out for the entire 2nd half due to having a big lead.

This is NOTHING compared to Drew Brees (not a backup QB), already in MIN territory, throwing 30 yards down field on a designed rollout with 2 minutes left of a 2 TD game. When 3 kneel downs or at least 3 running plays woulda ended it or gotten a FG chance.

HUGE fucking difference. I've always liked Brees and Payton, but at this point, fuck them both.

amazing the accuracy and the footing some of these guys have in the snow.

It used to be when it snowed you maybe made 10 pass attempts in a game.

great game Rams-Seahwaks.

2 evenly matched teams.

The difference was the goal-line stand by Seattle which kept LAR at bay.

The difference was Jarred Goff being suck.
