I have no clue how they could come up with that. It just feels like a complete lack of perspective of the first 40 years of saints history.
My memory mostly spans good years (save Ditka), and it’s not the worst moment of that timeframe.

Re: NFL Playoffs 2018
By the way, long green, what do you think of Doug Marrone as a coach now?! If you'll remember, he was a name I put out there to replace CJ and you correctly said that he would probably stay in the pros. But you didn't realize how good a record he had been in Buffalo. It helps that he has Tom Coughlin as an advisor, but the man can coach, regardless of the butt whoopin' he's about to receive.

Makes sense. In his two Super Bowl wins the Giants entered the playoffs at 9-7 and 10-6. They were Wild Cards both times and had to play their games on the road.doncecco wrote:http://www.footballdb.com/stats/qb-reco ... ?type=post

There's no way Nick Foles can play nearly this well in two weeks, right?

Re: NFL Playoffs 2018
Doug Pederson does a lot of neat outside zone concepts with an athletic OL out of the spread, I'd give the Iggles at least an icecube's chance in hell to score with Brady.
Foles is always due for a regression, though. We've seen this be unsustainable before.

Andy was almost good enough but given every chance in the world, didn’t get it done. Norman Braman would have been happy with that but Jeffrey Lurie is not. Lurie would rather blow it all up and roll the dice with first Chip Kelly and now Doug Pederson and see if another way of doing things will get a ring. So far, Pederson has succeeded in giving the team a shot far quicker than anyone in Philadelphia expected. If not for a Wentz injury, we would be looking at a pretty good shot at a ring this year. Even if we exit early this year, I like our chances with a healthy Wentz next year.ml wave wrote:He won more than 10 games in a season 6 times with the Eagles, won 10 playoff games and got them to a Super Bowl (which they had a decent chance of winning), but sure go with that.TUPF wrote:Thanks.gerryb323 wrote:Well they are the 1 seed in the NFC currentlyml wave wrote:He's obviously got his faults, but he's a really good coach.

It’s all about what an ownership and a fan base wants. Andy Reid is Mr. October for the wrong sport.
If an ownership wants 10 wins a season after starting 6-0 or 6-1, the Big Cheeseburger is your man. Nobody works harder. He’s the student who spends every weekend in Tilton Library and earns every B he gets but no matter what, he’ll never be Phi Beta Kappa.

Re: NFL Playoffs 2018
Congratulations to the Eagles, and TUPF. I hope and pray they can derail the Brady Express, but the Patriots are nearly impossible to beat as long as Brady is out there.

I second that. Once the Pats beat the Jaguars, I became a fan of whoever won the NFC.

Case in point: yesterday. A bogus PI call that directly led to a Patriots touchdown just before halftime yesterday.

exactly, one meaningless inconsequential 10 yard penalty that had absolutely no bearing on the game. One.

but pass interference really needs to change to the college rule of 15 yards max. So at least you can't have a 40+ yard swing on a bad call.
Re: NFL Playoffs 2018
Agree on PI. A ridiculous, game altering penalty that assumes the receiver would catch the ball every time. The Saints win by 10 if not for the ridiculous and then maybe appropriate, but over-penalizing calls int he first quarter in the Div Round.MattK wrote:the refs can't win...they only called 2 the entire game on the Panthers against the Saints and still caught doody about costing the Panthers the game.GreenieBacker wrote:exactly, one meaningless inconsequential 10 yard penalty that had absolutely no bearing on the game.
