A month ago the Saints were the "softest team in the playoffs"...

Question: Tim Ryan and Pat Kirwin just said on Sirius that if Freeney plays, we should run right at him and keep pulling guards in his direction. i would assume some of you guys would call that "dirty" because we'd be intentionally trying to get a player knocked out of the game.

It is not dirty to take advantage of another's team weaknesses. Of course he isn't much of a run blocker either so it isn't like it would take 2 guys to take him out of the play anyway. It would be dirty if someone chop blocked or purposely took out his bad knee knowing it was already injured. Big difference.

What an idotic thing to say. There is a huge difference between Going after someone and hoping they don't get up and going after a weakness on the field.

Here is a link for you since you seem to be lost.

Go there and you can join all the other believers that your Defensive Coordinator didn't say he was going after Manning and "hoping he didn't get up"

I can honestly say, I used to like the Saints until all these AINT trolls came into our forum trying to convince us how wonderful and marvelous they are. Now all I hope for is that Brees gets body slammed and the AINTS get run out of Miami.

GO COLTS

Dave is right. The Saints have been playing dirty football this entire postseason. I still can't believe that nothing was called against all those shots that Favre took in the NFC Title game.

It just gets old seeing you Saints trolls march in here and claim how powerful and all mighty you are. 40 years of weakness and now all of a sudden you guys are king of kings?

      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.

      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.
