Saints established themselves as the best team In the NFC, the only thing holding them back from getting to the super bowl is the two games against Carolina.
I still think the best team is the Rams but what the hell happened to their defense? Donald? Suh? Peters? Talib? They haven't been able to stop a nosebleed the past few weeks. AFCCG - Chiefs vs Patriots NFCCG - Rams vs Saints We deserve good football.
They don't have an OC. They have a run game coordinator ( former offensive line coach Aaron Kromer ) is run game coordinator and a pass game coordinator ( former TEs coach Shane Waldron)
Not a lot of love for the Chargers, but I think Anthony Lynn has been a huge surprise. He's a good coach. The Chargers once they get Bosa back, might be able to take on the Chiefs. They have the pass-rushers and a really good secondary. Derwin James is amazing, might already be better then Adams sadly.
I had both the Chargers and Rams game yesterday in my local area. The Chargers look pretty good and Bosa makes them real good. Being a division rival with the Chiefs gives them 2 games before the playoffs. That's another equalizer if they play them in the playoffs. I think people are sleeping on the Chargers.
Pathetically undisciplined secondary and Brees is impossible to blitz. He's smart and knows what to do against pressure. He's a great QB and has amazing weapons against a team that over pursues to get pressure. So many big plays against the Rams are a result of guys lacking discipline.
I don’t know. Rivers is the better qb for sure but Eli has those 2 super bowl mvps. If they retired the same year I’d think they would go in together. The media would love that symmetry
both are likely first ballot HOFers. the HOF seems to be more about longevity then actual talent. eli season to season is very pedestrian but his career numbers due to not being benched and not getting hurt rank high enough that it's a no brianer. not to mention the 2 SB MVPs.
i'm still going rams, cheifs, pats in that order. saints are 4th. 5th is tough probably a toss up with the chargers and panthers.
