    Rams HAVE to get some receivers. If they catch a couple of those deep balls, this is a different game. I know they are getting Avery back next year, but they also have to draft someone.

    seems like it might be easier to make the playoffs with a losing record if not all the games are played.

    16 of the 28 teams made the playoffs that year.

    15 yard route on 4th and 22. Okay.

    Seattle goes 3-7 in their last 10 and 7-9 overall and ends up hosting a playoff game. Makes sense. New Orleans should be favored by at least 5 or 6 points.

    ^ Higher. Line will be in the 7-9 range, I think.


    Crowd was great, and reinforcing their 12th man image, they probably had something to do with a few StL procedure penalties.

    Seattle consistently has a great home environment.

    I know Seattle lost a bunch of games by 20 or points this year. I expect the Saints to make it one more next week.

    rookie quarterback

    offensive coordinator- Pat Shurmur (nephew of the late Fritz Shurmur who was a conservative coach)

    assistant head coach- Richard Curl


    They will have to get a top level WR next season and they will have to open up the offense. Before tonight's game, the Rams YPA was 6.06. That number took a dip tonight. That number is way too low.

    I was originally going to say at least 7, but playoff games typically have smaller spreads than regular season ones. I'm sure a regular season game would be at least 7.

    Really?

    How about this?

    I bet you whatever you like that the opening line will be lower than 11.

    I also welcome you to compete with me in a handicapping contest, since you apparently think you know so much more than me.

    I'm going to place a bet on Seattle to win the Super Bowl tomorrow.

    Whenever you can get 100:1 odds in the NFL playoffs, you've gotta go for it.

    The Seahawks are a much different team at home than on the road.

    They certainly are, which might make Saints @ Seattle worth watching.

    JUST got home from the game.

    Terrible football game to watch, but amazing atmosphere. Place is buzzing from kickoff to the very last second.
