The NFL Playoffs

I'm not so confident about that, especially outside the dome, but I think the Saints have the best chance of beating the Cheetahs. I suspect next week's game in Minnesota will be the de facto NFCCG though.

Brees>Keenum. Also Minnesota plays in a dome so I think they’ll be able to travel pretty well.
 
saints only rushing for 13 yards and having only about half the TOP but the saints are up 15 points

this saints offence is fun as hell

Yeah, too bad it's all 16 games that count.

Huh? Why the hell are all 16 games relevant to what I said. You said we weren’t better than the Titans because they beat us. Well that’s when we weren’t a good team. So what you’re saying is that a team can’t improve from earlier in the season and it doesn’t matter how they play down the stretch because if they were bad at the beginning of the year then they’re still bad no matter what. Good logic.

Personally I think it's a bit if a shame the Vikes are in a dome. Outdoors ... Like GB in Lambeau. What a home field advantage. Watch teams like NO grind to a halt. Loved the old Bud Grant teams. No heaters on the sidelines. Crazy.

I forgot that Vikings stadium was a dome for some reason. But the matchup that worries me most from the Saints' perspective is the Vikings' run D (especially if Peat's out). If they can bottle up Kamara and Ingram and put the clamps on the short passing game I can see the Saints struggling a bit. Easier said than done of course, but the Vikings could be the Saints' toughest opponent from here. I think they match up really well against NE.

peat's definitely out - he's got a broken fibula and is getting an MRI to determine if there's ligament damage

but yeah i think the saints and vikings are clearly the 2 best teams left in the NFL

Yeah, they ruined the home field advantage when they built a dome. Guess they did it for the fans

tbf that stadium is pretty neat - and loud

and note: if the falcons beat the eagles then whatever happens both the vikings and saints will be playing in domes the whole way to the superbowl (if they get there)
