Is it possible to play any dirtier than the saints defense just played?

I hated the Saints with a deep passion before watching this game. Williams' comments about Smitty earlier this year and the way they blatantly cheap-shotted Favre all game just compounds my hatred. The Saints are absolutely pathetic. The Vikings turned the ball over FIVE TIMES and they STILL needed help from the refs to win.

i counted at least three late hits where the ball was long gone, the fake where favre handed it off on a bootleg and got plowed a good two seconds after that, the one where he got picked up and bodyslammed after the ball was gone (that one at least got called) and the cheap shot to the knees.

fug the saints.

This, fug The Saints and fug Goodell.

Any Saints fan that actually believe they won a fair game should get their fuging head examined.

Guys...is the NFL rigged?

No.

Also:

I hate Joe Buck. He states things like they are the utter truth and fact. There was one spot on the field at some point in the game where he acted like he knew for certain what it was supposed to be, and when viewing the video, you could tell he was dead wrong.

There is NO doubt in my mind that they sent guys one-second late for the sole purpose of hitting Favre the second he threw the ball. Not to go after the ball, not to sack him, no...to pound him into the ground as soon as he threw it.

I have NO CLUE why the Vikes protection went to poo. The Colts supposedly have great protection. After seeing this cheap crap let's hope the Colts gameplan properly.

Get over it. It's football.

While that's true and those hits might have been legal, it's still not cool.

You meet douches every day in your day-to-day lives; you don't like them but they aren't breaking any laws or rules, yet they are still douches.

      2026 World Cup Thread

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.

      LWOS on the FO's error--my word--on X...traits, timelines, Brazzell, & indications of improvement.

      Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly.

      Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
