Gentlemen,
My apologies. You all were right. The Saints are not the 2nd best team in the NFC nor NFL. They're clearly the best team in the NFL.
Yeah, no. They were the better team today, but they also gave up a double digit lead at home and almost pissed the game away, but got bailed out by Michael Thomas breaking a franchise record. I bet if it were in LA they would've been buried. I was wrong, they are the real deal, but I wouldn't use today to go and crown them. They're neck and neck with the Rams imo.
The Saints got bailed out... by their own player? Huh?
You can continue to make excuses but the facts are the facts. And their play is doing all the talking for me
I'm saying it took a historical performance to avoid the worst collapse of the season. Imagine dominating at home in the first half, only to give up a massive lead to end up with a tied ball game? The Saints are legit and I didn't give them enough credit, but I still don't think they're the best team in the league

Rams Saints Chiefs Patriots. We’re going to break the Super Bowl scoring record this year.
What’s that? The record was literally set this last year? Game sucks.

Man what an ugly game in minnesota today. Lions offense looked out of wack without tate to use as a crutch.
Giving up a 21 point lead over the course of more than half a game against a top 2 team in the NFL is not nearly as epic as we're making it out to be. It was really more a product of the rams' very good defense stepping up and slowing down the saints offense for a while so they could methodically climb back in. It's not as though anything crazy happened, they just kept their cool and continued to chip away. 21 points is not massive in today's league. I would tend to agree that the saints are still not the best team in the league though, despite beating the rams. They're not as "good" a team overall as the rams, they just executed better in this matchup.
Saints were the most overrated team in the country (I would like to think no one actually thought the Redskins were good...) before playing their best game of the season against a very good team who played an average game. I don’t think anyone could have watched that game and emphatically stated “The Saints are better than the Rams” but clearly they are good enough to be in the conversation and I will admit that much. Thanksgiving will be another fun shootout I’m sure.
He's a baby
I'm reading conflicting reports now regarding Bell. Up until today, it was being said that if Bell didn't report by Nov 13 he would be ineligible to play this season, and Pittsburgh could then re-tag him in the spring for the same amount as this year. However, according to the article i just read a minute ago, that tag amount would be equivalent to the third year tag (qb number) instead of the second year tag. So at this point I don't know what to believe. It's weird that a player could hold out an entire season on the tag without signing it but still have it count toward his accrual.
So, Dez is signing with the Saints. Can't wait to see him cry when he doesn't get the ball "enough".
Don’t think it matters, I don’t think the Steelers would spite tag Bell at the same rate just to prove a point, since they have no intention of paying him what he wants and he has no intention of taking anything less.
And to think the steelers could have saved themselves all this headache by just paying bell two years ago. Most contracts have all the guaranteed money front loaded anyway and the organization could have just released him after this season with minimal fuss. I still think leveon went about it badly but the team didn't do themselves any favors by continually tagging one of he best RBS in the league.
