Carolina can’t run the football...that’s the one huge advantage Saints have and why they will win today. If Cam don’t do the running they won’t win.

Remember how many thought McCaffrey would be awesome, NAH. Hey it is 14-6 now, game not over yet until Brees throws another TD

I honestly believe on the right team he would be....he went to the worst fit I think he could have gone. He is better than Kamara...on a team like Philly or SF etc he would be so much more effective.

  Brees knows exactly where he wants to go with the ball.

..and he knows what's the 2nd choice and what's the 3rd choice..No hesitation...

I agree...Carolina doenst use McCaffrey correctly. You have to split him out almost exclusively and run him on counters and reverse only....

 

Green Bay and Aaron Rodgers would have made him an all-pro

Saints bout to score

Brees can score 13 in his sleep. That Jags/Bills game was tough to watch.

Not according to Phil Simms and Bill Cowher. The tension throughout the game was exhilarating

I have to admit because the game stayed close it did make it watchable I guess because the game was in doubt late.

[oldunclemark]

21-6 at the half.......and NOLA isn't going to blow it.

 

.Atlanta at Philadelphia

 New Orleans at Minnesota

 

Good semifinal games

There was doubt about whether it was a playoff game, too

[2006Coltsbestever]

Panthers look like they should've stayed home.

[oldunclemark]

  Cam won give up...but eventually the Panthers have to stop Drew and they cant

[DraftMaster]

They have to score before half.

[Buddy Lee]

Compare and contrast...New Orleans offense vs the other offenses today. Actually any offense this weekend with a mild nod to the Falcons.

I predicted a Falcons at Saints Title Game. Because of the QB's

[2006Coltsbestever]

21-9 now, Gano just hit one from 59

[oldunclemark]

Missed from 25 yards..made it from 58..

That's kicking in the NFL these days

 

 

21-9 at the half..I guess 3 FGs don't equal 3 TDs

Where's Blake Bortles...He's 1-0 in playoff games..

 

Someone said he is the only QB from the 2014 draft that has a playoff win. I replied that wins are a team stat. He did not win that game for his team. He is the QB of a team that won a playoff game.

I'm betting they don't. Nagy is with the Chiefs remember.

[oldunclemark]

Cam coming out strong in the second half...

[oldunclemark]

Panthers stopped again...Field goal again....

[DraftMaster]

Another drive, another FG.

Till the redzone

[Buddy Lee]

i'm sure the entire Panthers team is frustrated as heck by now.

[shakedownstreet]

I just farted sharted!

[RollerColt]

The last time the Saints defense was this good in the playoffs, they won a Super Bowl. 

 

Drew has had all the tools he needs.

Noooo! Lol.

 

You have seen the Vikes' defense. It is much better than the Panthers defense, no? Saints scare me.

[BloodyChamp]

I'd rather watch Favre throw 6 INTs trying to win down 2 possessions with no TDs and no defense than this. Cam is worse at captain checkdowing than Trent Edwards. That was the reason he threw 6 INTs that day actually. Cam has scored 4 times in a row (less times that the Saints altogether), should have been 5 but they missed a FG, and they've only punted once. But the score tells a different story.

[NFLfan]

Gosh. After waiting out the bye week, I won't be able to see the Vikes until late Sunday. Seems like an eternity.

I like the Vikings believe me but, the Saints hold a special place in my heart.   And yes, I agree about the Vikes D. (afterall they were my FF D most of this season.)

[DraftMaster]

TD!!! Finally Carolina 19-24, 'Saints

[BloodyChamp]

I'm rooting for the Vikings and the ghost of the Vikings curse scares me more than the Saints. The Saints kind of won the 11 easiest games and lost the 5 hardest. The Falcons, who they just beat, mopped the floor with the Panthers. The Vikings already beat the Saints so basically...the curse it all set up lol!

 I forgot about your link to the Saints. That Saints-Colts Super Bowl must have been difficult for you. Or, perhaps it was a win-win? Did you ever become friendly with Bogie/Synthetic here on the forum?

 

It will be a very difficult game for the Vikes to win. But I am hopeful.
