T/F: Matt Patricia will be coaching the Pats defense this time next year.

Don't feel so bad. Garrett is the ultimate blower.

I'm actually hoping this gets out of hand fast so I can go to the gym.

Giants choke again vs the Eagles.

Just how many heartbreaking losses can you have against one team?

Vikings are going to be an extremely tough out come postseason. Defense is back to being dominant and Cook finally looks healthy...I wouldn't be surprised if they made a run to the Super Bowl.

They wont. The Saints, Rams & Bears would have their way with them.

What makes you so sure? I think Minnesota is about as complete of a team as there is in football. The only thing I was a little worried about was the shaky offensive line play, but like the Texans they've cleaned that up and developed better chemistry as the season has progressed.

Just last week they lost to Chicago. Minnesota has to play New England & Seattle next. The Saints are clearly the class of the NFC. The Vikings will have to play on the road in the playoffs assuming they make it.

vikings dont scare me at all, even in wins they look unimpressive for the most part.

This says he is week to wee.k http://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/25385125/melvin-gordon-los-angeles-chargers-week-week-mcl-sprain

They have really good backups though. Ekeler is a stud and Justin Jackson, a rookie, looked really good yesterday.

I don't know how much better the Saints are than a healthy Rams team. They beat them, but on their home turf, and it was pretty close for the most part.

But in the playoffs, unless the Saints stumble a couple of times down the stretch, the Saints will get them at home again. I wouldn't count the Rams out even then though. I think they have the best coach in the league.

I’m hoping the cowboys can play really slow and stop the saints and win doubt it

If the Saints get Homefield, it's a wrap! For as good as that offense is, the Rams defense has been very underwhelming this year. They struggle against the run (The Hawks ran for 270 yards in their last matchup). They have a 10-1 record, because they just outscore everyone. They have to. Similar to KC.

They are close to middle of the pack against the run, and get Aqib Tailb back this week, which is a major boost to shut down some of the passing of a team like the Saints. I think they are pretty close.

Another thing is they've played in alot of close games. It's not like they blow everyone away. They've had some breaks along the way. The Ty Montgomery fumble, KC game. Fwiw the Hawks 2 losses were by a combined 7 points. And If it werent for a stupid holding penalty, they'd have 2 losses now. :wink:
