Rams vs Saints: Who do we root for? (poll)

[luuked]

Saints

100%.

With Rankins out they have even fewer horses on defense that can slow our offense down. On offense bracket Thomas, make him less effective and they are immediately extremely one dimensional.

Everyone keeps talking down the quality in the AFC for years now but the Chargers and KC feel like bigger hurdles than anyone who would potentially wait for us in the SB.

Hard choice. But I have to go with Rams. I would love to see a Brady Brees Super Bowl but I can’t stand the thought of Brees winning and then the whole Brees is the goat media worship.

On the other hand, can’t stand the rams franchise as an organization, not the staff or players. But the rams would be easier to beat as I think we can contain their run game and drop deep.

Tough call.

I don't know who "we should root for", but I'm rooting for Brees.

I think the Saints are a very flawed team. Double Thomas, and make those other undrafted receivers beat you. Love Watson, but he isn't exactly an elite tight end. I think the back end of their secondary with Apple & Williams are shaky too. Neither know how to turn their head around and play the ball. Kamara has disappeared as of late. They should be the team we want to face. I think Brady would carve that secondary up. But it'll be a moot point imo. I see the Rams beating them by 10 or more in that Dome.

The Rams are essentially mercenaries wandering in a desert where no one cares about the NFL...

I was in NOLA after the 2010 Superbowl and know what that Superbowl did for the wonderful city.. was near Napolean and Tchoup for Bacchus and they were having a before parade party at Tipitina's... Brees and Payton arrived and the crowd whipped themselves into a frenzy it went on for about 7 miles.. that was an extremely cool experience..

The whole town is in love with the Saints, and the Saints are involved in the culture of NOLA... if I were not a Patriot fan would probably be a Saints fan.

Imagine a SB with the combined ages of he QB is 81... the NFL offices would **** themselves if the Pats made it again, never mind at the expense of the new faces of today's NFL...

Since I'm an old fart, I'll keep rooting for the old farts till they're done. The millenials, Gen-Xers and Gen-Yers can have their fantasy football NFL and their own "GOATs" after that.

I don't root for anybody outside NE but I can't see the Rams losing to the same team twice in 1 season. They are too talented and will adjust.

Rams shock Saints 31-24.

Always root for the worse QB. That’s Goff in this case.

IF we make it to the Superbowl, then I'm rooting for a Brady v Brees matchup. The Pats might stand a better chance of beating the Rams, but this would one for the ages. Plus, I've kinda become a closet Saints fan and would feel better losing to the Saints and if the Pats don't win the AFCCG then I would have an easier time rooting for them.

Besides, there's no way in hell that the Rams win on the road in the Dome.

Rams. Lets beat both LA teams in one playoffs!

 

[Redman443]

Didn’t the saints lose one of their run stuffer’s to an Achilles?

 

[primetime]

I've watched a lot of the Rams over the past decade or so because my best friend is a Rams fan. If the Patriots don't win, it wouldn't hurt ny soul to see the Rams hoist the Lombardi. Plus the circular narrative of Rams-Patriots would be fun.

 

[captain insano]

a proper boston fan always hates all things LA. saints.

Yes- Rankins.

Its a big deal.

The Rams could go for 200yds + on the ground next Sunday.

The Rams are a good football team though and NO is flawed as well. I can definitely see the Rams going to the Super Bowl.

THey'd be stupid to not run it down their throats. I suspect the Rams are going to win but am pulling for the Saints.

If we can get by KC we are winning the whole thing.

 

[Pat the Pats Fan]

can't root for the rams, because of the irsay connection. (irsay owned rams and traded the franchise to Carroll Rosenbloom for the Colts. But I sure can root against them.

 

[VrabelJr]

Saints because Pherein is dope

 

[brdmaverick]

Gotta root for the Brady-Brees Super Bowl, plus the Saints are a fairly likable team.
