2 key plays for me; the 4th down throw to Kirkwood for the TD gave you huge momentum (it would've been a killer to miss that) and the Fletcher Cox injury play destroyed their defence. If he stayed fit, i'd have backed them to stay on top, the difference as soon as he came back was clear as day. Everyone is going on about the fake punt but I think there were only 12 people in the world who didn't see that coming....
Anyway, all the top defenses out so don't see anything but Saints lifting the trophy, already beaten the Rams twice in 6 months, so don't see any problems there unless Gurley goes completely nuts. Just hope we smash the Chiefs and their inbred shit talking fans who probably weren't even alive the last time KC won anything. Shame really, aside from Mahomes and their fans, would be a likeable franchise.
Cya in the Flower Power stadium!
Cheers, bro! I saw the highlights of NE-LAC, and wowowowow the Chargers flat out sucked when it wasn't garbage time except for their first TD when Gilmore let Allen go free. And, why would you play zone against Brady? That's asking to get picked apart. But I get it; a 5.5 hour flight across the country twice in as many weeks takes it toll, first class or not.
I think y'all have a good shot in KC. I still don't trust Andy Reid's clock management, but Mahomes, Hill, and Kelce are electric. KC can strike fast, but with Michel and the short passing game, the Pats can dominate time of possession and limit KC's chances.
Both conference championship games are rematches from high-scoring regular season games, which hopefully means good games (although I wouldn't mind us blowing out the Rams ngl). And for the first time ever, the four highest scoring teams in the regular season are the final four teams. It's funny looking back. In November, we all saw it coming down to Saints-Rams and Pats-Chiefs, but in December, the field looked wide open again. Yet here we are again with those four teams. So much for the Bears, Cowboys, Eagles, Seahawks, Colts, Texans, Chargers, and Ravens.
I hope we can finally get that Brees vs. Brady Super Bowl that should've happened in 2011 and 2017. But on the bight side this year, it'll be armageddon for Atlanta if NO and NE are there. NO because Saints-Falcons are one of the NFL's biggest most bitter rivalries, and Pats for 28-3. Atlanta might burn worse than what General Sherman did to it during the Civil War
