I mean goddamn this conference seems wrapped up doesn’t it? Not trying to jinx us but it really seems like injuries are our biggest opponent at this point.
The Ravens are fucking frauds. They’re a warm up for us. We literally made these guys look like the JV squad the last 2 meetings.
And sure the Bills and Titans may make us work for the win, but in all honesty we have to play pretty goddamn shitty to lose to those guys.
In order to have any shot at beating us you need 3 things:
1. Elite pass rush
2. Top 10 QB capable of making critical plays
3. Overall talented roster
Steelers are the only team in the AFC that has those 3 things, and even them it’s not like they’re some serious threat like the Patriots a couple years back, but they seem like the best of the rest.
I think at this point it would be disappointing for this team to not get to the SB 3 straight times.
We’re just that good, and we keep drafting well and get better and better. [Reply]

Alex Smith, Antonio Gibson, and Terry McLaurin can pull it off.
Hell, if Kyle Orton, Jackie Battle, and Steve Breaston can beat prime Aaron Rodgers....
Didn’t even need Antonio Gibson (luckily my fantasy team didn’t need him either) [Reply]

The Kamara/LB matchup nightmare is what I'm most worried about.
I'm actually pretty excited about that game. They're a really solid roster and it'll be primetime. We dismantled a similarly great roster in Baltimore so hopefully we can do the same in New Orleans. [Reply]

I just can't see a Taysom Hill led Saints beating us.

A healthy Drew Brees, yeah.
I can make cases for both of them eeking out a win.
I can also make cases for us beating both of them.
The team really excels at defense and running the ball with Kamara. They're a different team with Brees vs. Hill but I'm not convinced they're a BETTER team with Brees vs. Hill. [Reply]

I couldn’t see us losing to the Raiders at home either but weird shit happens lol
Big issue is that they’ve got a really good offensive line like the Raiders. Taysom or Drew, either one will have tons of time to find the open man unless Frank Clark suddenly unfucks himself.
Kamara running loose on our LBs while simultaneously having to deal with Cook and Michael Thomas could be a huge headache.
To top it all off, they’ve got a decent defense. [Reply]

Taysom Hill finding an open man.
Riiiiiiiiight.
The Saints with Hill are built just like the Ravens. We can take those buttplugs down no problem.
In my opinion, our worst matchup is every team's worst matchup-- an elite QB. Therefore, I think the Packers and Seahawks, should either team reach the Super Bowl, would be our toughest matchup. [Reply]

We were clearly looking forward to the Baltimore game and weren't taking the Raiders seriously.
I'd be really surprised if the Saints don't get the Chiefs 'A' game. [Reply]
