saints, rams, chiefs : who's the best ?

[wizard1183]

Saints are damn good but they are also playing hard to establish themselves, unlike KC and Rams they did not know they’d be playing at this level.

I bet they cool off soon and still win most of last 8 but don’t cover nearly as much.

KC and Rams went out 9-1 as expected, difference is, they were thinking playoffs all along.

Saints feeling their newfound prowess but will soon start playoff mode.

Rams will be fired up next time if they play NO. First matchup was critical test for NO, not so much for Rams.

It’s a shame but odds are one of these 3 teams will suffer injuries that hinder their chances they will make it to the SB.

What you failed to mention was strength of schedule. Saints have the hardest of all 3 in terms of scheduling. They had to play vikes ravens and rams back to back to back and came out on top. Yes they are playing harder because the schedule is harder. Their last 3 are against Carolina with Steelers sandwiched in between. If that’s not brutal? I expect the saints to drop one with Car and maybe the Steelers away. If they get Dome field advantage it’s SB bound. There’s no team to over take em. Rams did NOT take it easy in New Orleans. They simply were outmatched....

Rams were coasting.
Home team has huge advantage when teams are both ahead of schedule in the standings.
Like tonight.
Home team pumped up playing top competition.
Look me up if NO plays Rams in playoffs.
Completely different motivational situation. If Arnold, Suh, Brockhaus, Fowler want to attack the passer full effort, Saints will score half as many points and give up a few more turnovers.
And NO SOS is 14, Rams 19, Sagarrin.

Man I respect you very much. Saints have too 3 toughest schedule. Here’s a link from Oct. with them ranked as no.1 toughest sched. They didn’t coast in New Orelans. That was no fluke. Why would a team drop the ball vs an away NFC opponent rather than AFC opponent if they’re just coasting? If in New Orleans I don’t see Rams coming away with a victory. Maybe at home but they’re not going to bulldoze the Saints. This isn’t legion of Doom...

These defenses aren’t as good as the Saints.

You’re right. They never were. It’ll take more than a Dline to shake the Saints. They certainly can’t run on Saints. If Saints stay healthy? They can’t be stopped. Payton>>>>McVay

Saints, Chiefs, Rams

In that order

 

[exploited17]

Saints, Chiefs, Pitt. Yea, you heard me

 

[Serbone]

When it counts:
Rams, Saints, Chiefs, Steelers, Patriots
Refs did not call offensive holding on the Chiefs, almost every pass play they were guilty. If they had, Mahomes would be in traction right now.
If healthy, Rams win by 17 in LA, by 10 in New Orleans come playoff time.

well they better start playing defense cause the best D of the NFC belongs to the saints bar none.
