Week 7: Blowouts, Benchings, And The British
Your Sunday Night Football Open Thread
Another precious Sunday afternoon has come and gone, leaving just one game left before another work week begins. The New York Giants host the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday Night Football, so sit back and enjoy the game with KSK. Who knows, maybe Crying Giants Fan will make his return to the comment section? Eh, probably not. After all, the Yankees game is on.
New England 35 – 7 Tampa Bay
Well the game was awful, but the crowd at Wembley Stadium seemed to enjoy themselves for the most part. Tampa could never get anything going on offense, thanks in part to Josh Johnson’s three interceptions. Tom Brady threw a couple of his own, although his miscues were offset by three touchdown passes. Wes Welker delighted the masses with a performance that Brits would likely call “Giggs-ian”. He caught 10 passes for over 100 yards and scored a first quarter touchdown. First round pick Josh Freeman saw his first action of the season after Josh Johnson was pulled late in the game.
Note: Brady threw three touchdown passes were enough to beat out the total goals scored in this morning’s Liverpool/Manchester match (Liverpool won 2-0).
Indianapolis 42 – 6 St. Louis
Steven Jackson expended a lot of energy for no reason whatsoever.
San Diego 37 – 7 Kansas City
Matt Cassel is still awful (10/25 for 90 yards with one touchdown and three interceptions). Marmalard hooked up with Vincent Jackson five times for 142 yards and a touchdown, almost all of it coming in an explosive first half.
Pittsburgh 27 – 17 Minnesota
It was a pretty even 13-10 game heading into the last quarter before shit started getting crazy. The Vikings had a 74-yard drive end abruptly when Brett Favre was stripped of the ball resulting in a 77-yard touchdown return by Lamarr Woodley. Percy Harvin answered back immediately with an 88-yard kickoff return for a touchdown to bring Minnesota back within three points. The Vikings were soon driving again with a chance to tie or take the lead in the final minute when a pass from Favre bounced off of Adrian Peterson and directly into the arms of Keyaron Fox. The Steelers linebacker returned the interception 82-yards for the game-sealing score.
Green Bay 31 -3 Cleveland
Anybody who was eliminated from their suicide pool this week is a fucking moron.
Houston 24 – 21 San Francisco
After going down 21-0 before halftime Mike Singletary benched Shaun Hill in favor of former top pick Alex Smith. Believe it or not, that actually worked. Smith tossed three touchdown passes to fellow first round disappointment Vernon Davis, but they were unable to secure a win. Andre Johnson was sent to the hospital after sustaining a chest injury late in the game.
New York Jets 38 – 0 Oakland
The most anticipated benching of the season finally arrived when JaMarcus Russell’s long leash finally snapped. Russell turned the ball over three times in the first quarter (2 picks and a fumble), although he wasn’t pulled until after Oakland’s quick three-and-out to start the second quarter. Things didn’t get much better after Russell’s exit, but at least nobody had to watch him play anymore. The Jets dominated the game on the ground, rushing for over 300 yards. Shonn Greene broke out for 144 yards and 2 touchdowns with Thomas Jones adding 121 yards and a score. Greene’s role will only grow from here, because Leon Washington’s season is probably over after snapping his fibula.
If you had to guess which team’s starting quarterback was caught eating a hot dog on the bench you would probably be wrong.
New Orleans 46 – 34 Miami
It’s a game like this that truly makes you appreciate the NFL’s Red Zone channel. They cut away to show meaningless scores elsewhere, but I never felt like I was missing key parts of the one really good late game. Drew Brees rallied following four earlier turnovers to lead the Saints on four scoring drives (23 points) in the final 17 minutes. Tracy Porter capped the comeback win with an interception returned for a touchdown with two minutes left.
Darren Sharper had a pick-six of his own earlier in the team’s 36-point second half. The score gave Sharper more touchdowns this season (3) than any running back, wide receiver, or tight end on the Washington Redskins.
Buffalo 20 – 9 Carolina
Sources tell KSK that this game happened. They were unable to confirm why. Jake Delhomme threw three interceptions, yet he was not among those quarterbacks benched this week. At this point it’s safe to assume that John Fox is attempting to hasten his departure in an effort to gain the inside track on the Washington job.
Cincinnati 45 – 10 Chicago
Carson Palmer threw five touchdown passes, including four on consecutive possessions to start the game. Jay Cutler did not (three interceptions and two fumbles).
Cedric Benson had a dream day against his old team with 189 rushing yards and a touchdown. Matt Forte did not (24 rushing yards).
Dallas 34 – 21 Atlanta
Okay, maybe I underestimated the Cowboys a little bit. Miles Austin now has 16 catches for 421 and 4 touchdowns in his two games as a starter in Dallas (171 and two scores today). Tony Romo delivered with a nearly perfect performance (20-28 296 yards 3/0), and recently demoted Patrick Crayton responded with two touchdowns (one on a punt return). However Roy Williams continues to suck, which is oddly comforting.

Too bad Man Utd couldn’t get Wes Welker in their game today. They seriously lacked that grittiness and lost!
October 25th, 2009 at 8:09 pm
No mention of the refs giving the game to the Steelers with a phantom tripping call on the Rice TD pass just b4 the fumble touchdown?
/im just kidding, please Ape dont scream at me.

i’m not kidding, that was a terrible call. fuck the stillers and their refs.

Panther fans should seek a court injuction to keep Delhomme off the field.
The Buccaneers versus the Patriots playing in London: the NFL’s own little fuck you to the British Navy. After all, nothing’s more popular in England than pirates and American revolutionaries.
October 25th, 2009 at 8:20 pm
The Royal British Navy?
It’s nothing more than rum, sodomy and the lash!
October 25th, 2009 at 8:21 pm
@synapticmisfires: The Panthers were fucking awful. I’m a Bills fan, and I still can’t wrap my head around how they won that game. Delhomme is mindblowingly incompetent.
October 25th, 2009 at 8:23 pm
Is there any point to the rest of the NFC playing out the year? Only the Patriots stand between the Saints and an undefeated season and nobody is knocking them off once they get home field advantage. Fuck, I don’t want to live in a world where the Ain’ts win a Super Bowl.
October 25th, 2009 at 8:23 pm

Snap! Keith Olberman just called the Bucs the Silly Nannies. He totally ripped off a joke made on this site that was ripped off a joke made on a cartoon. Well done gentlement. You’ve got something good when you’ve got Keith Olberman on board.
October 25th, 2009 at 8:25 pm
Shit. Gentlemen, not gentlement. I’m not sure what flavor you guys are. Very presumptuous of me. My bad.
October 25th, 2009 at 8:27 pm
@ obit_rice: Pittsburgh had a touchdown called back because of a phantom offensive PI on the other side of the field. Bad calls happen in every game to every team. Don’t commit crushing turnovers in the red zone and you won’t have to resort to sounding like a pussy.
/Can also be applied to Seahawk and Cardinal fans
October 25th, 2009 at 8:30 pm
I’m not going to take the easy road and blame the refs for my Vikings’ horrible loss to the Steelers. I blame the Jews.

Since it’s a night game, does Elisha get to wear his footy pajamas under his uniform tonight?
October 25th, 2009 at 8:32 pm
@old gregg
I’m not a fan of either team, but you can’t deny that call was the key. And I save my crushing turnover bitching for Romo picks in the red zone.

“Marmalard hooked up with Vincent Jackson five times for 142 yards and a touchdown.” The part that got the auto-advertise was “Jackson five.” Comedy gold.

“That’s not a blow to the head?” No, Kurt. It’s not. Unfortunately, I’m not sure your religion allows another man to give you a “blow the the head.”
October 25th, 2009 at 8:48 pm
Cincy/Chicago no question. The bears show flashes of being a competent team from time to time. Can not say the same about the other choices.

I apparently just went wandering through the grocery store, having had…er…a few drinks, mumbling, “Fucking Teddy Ginn,” repeatedly.
And I’m right. Fucking Teddy Ginn. Please tell me there’s some thug in Little Congo or fucking whatever shithole in Miami with the stones to hunt Ted Ginn down and take his knees out with a crowbar.
October 25th, 2009 at 8:53 pm
“Whah, I got screwed by officiating.”
Officiating is like the weather: you can’t do anything about it, and it’s going to change the outcome of the game. Deal with it.
And yes, there was also a bad call against the Steelers that canceled a touchdown. So it’s hardly like the Vikes got screwed out of any more points than the Steelers. The biggest difference is that Ben didn’t fumble and then watch it get run back for a TD because he didn’t want to risk getting hit by the big mean blocker. That’s what Jeff Reed is for.
I haven’t sat and watched replay after replay of the tripping call, but the way it looked to me is that the Vike went low to make a block, slipped, and got his legs tangled up in Harrison’s, and Harrison went down. Now, when you use your legs, to knock someone off their feet by striking their legs, there’s a word for it… hold on… it’s coming to me… on the tip of my tongue… a “T” word…
Was it tickytack? Probably. But it’s not completely blown. And nobody’d care if Farve hadn’t coughed up the ball on the next play.
October 25th, 2009 at 8:53 pm
Coughlin is gonna go purple.
October 25th, 2009 at 8:55 pm
Packers won. Favre lost. Bears lost.
All in all the perfect day.
October 25th, 2009 at 8:56 pm
@ obit_rice: It was certainly key, just like the Steelers’ overturned touchdown, but since that happened in the first quarter most people forgot about it. After going through the Kordell Stewart era (6 picks and one fumble in two home AFC championships), one learns that late-game turnovers are far more damaging than anything the refs can do.
October 25th, 2009 at 8:57 pm
Steeler haters will always fucking abound. Favre’s turnovers and Childress’ play calling in the Red Zone cost them the game. Not the Refs. Mendenhall gift wrapped your shit and you couldn’t open it.
October 25th, 2009 at 8:57 pm
Forgot to add obligatory “/Harrison is held on every play” tag
October 25th, 2009 at 8:58 pm
Packers won. Favre lost. Bears lost.
All in all the perfect day.
Vikings and Favre lost… let’s not lose sight of actual hatred here.
But otherwise, yeah.
October 25th, 2009 at 9:00 pm
I’m pretty sure the refs made Brett fumble and throw an interception at the end of that game. THE REFS BLEW IT!
October 25th, 2009 at 9:01 pm
I was really impressed how the Saints almost lost to the Dolphins.
36 points in one half is “almost losing”? I’ll take it every weekend!
October 25th, 2009 at 9:03 pm
It should be a rule that any time a team has a free play, the ball must travel at least 50 yards in the air.
October 25th, 2009 at 9:09 pm
I have a feeling that one of these days Jeff Feagles’ leg is going to fall off during a game.
October 25th, 2009 at 9:14 pm
Cutlerfucker: As long as nobody blocks it and it lands inside the 20…
October 25th, 2009 at 9:16 pm
Hmm, I wonder why the aging quarterback hesitated to make the long throw, and ended up underthrowing the close one.
October 25th, 2009 at 9:17 pm
Oh dear Mr. Kurt Warner
That was an INT. Oh dear.
October 25th, 2009 at 9:17 pm
Jesus doesn’t love Kurt Warner any more.
October 25th, 2009 at 9:20 pm
Favre made a great effort trying to make a tackle after he threw that INT
October 25th, 2009 at 9:21 pm
Hey lets show interesting parts of NYC when the Giants/Jets play since nobody wants to see the ugly ass industrial complex that the stadium’s actually in!
October 25th, 2009 at 9:23 pm
Why the fuck was Purple Jesus not in the game when they had the ball so close? Does Chilly not realize he is the best player in Futbol?
October 25th, 2009 at 9:27 pm
@drchimrichalds – I LOLed when I saw him chase a few steps after Fox and then see the big blocker coming and roll off. “Meh, he’s gonna hit me, so I just won’t bother.”
He should go out drinking with Jeff “Enh” Reed.
October 25th, 2009 at 9:34 pm
Here’s hoping Cowher wants to take the Panthers coaching job and that Denver is too stupid to give Neckbeard a new contract.

October 25th, 2009 at 9:38 pm
Favre and Childress blew that one. The Steelers don’t get calls until the playoffs.

Got a fantasy trade question. Just got offered Brandon Jacobs for Marques Colston. I already have Gore, Barber, Slaton, and Caddilac, and Wayne, Colston, and Sims-Walker at WR. Is it worth it to have another #1 RB option (in case Gore or Barber stay gimpy) but be paper thin at WR with two solid wideouts (past their bye weeks) but no one behind them if one gets hurt?
Almost forgot…
//dick joke
//pats suck
//what would Rex Ryan do?
October 25th, 2009 at 9:50 pm
Goddammit. I fucking hate the Giants.
October 25th, 2009 at 9:52 pm
Is it cool to be annoyed at a player on the team you root for for scoring because you’re playing against him in fantasy if the intended receiver is on your fantasy team? Convoluted situation, I know, but I’m confused as shit. I’d be less inclined to be annoyed if it was a close, must-win game rather than one that seems like it should be an expected win.
October 25th, 2009 at 9:54 pm
@Ocho Cinco Fan Club: No. Real football always trumps fantasy. Always.
October 25th, 2009 at 9:54 pm
@Ocho Cinco Fan Club
depends, do you have manningham and you’re getting pissed that nicks is stealing all his thunder?
/stop having the same fantasy team as me
October 25th, 2009 at 9:55 pm
Fox, stick with Colston. He’s as close to a sure thing as WR’s get because of how Brees plays week in week out. Jacobs [shit... I can't say it... ok fine] has been a little sluggish and doesn’t pop off for big runs or scores as often as one would tihnk he should.
October 25th, 2009 at 9:59 pm
Bleach, yes. It’s fucking annoying because I picked Manningham up the week before his ridiculous game [even though he rode my bench that week. I won so whatever]. So I had him all lined up when everyone was high on him. Then Nicks comes in and this douchy fucking rookie starts being a star when I’ve been waiting 3 years for Manningham to be good since we drafted him. So it’s partially fantasy and partly I like Manningham as a player in general. Dude’s so fast that Elisha still throws behind him like half the time.
October 25th, 2009 at 10:01 pm
Anyone else see Count Al Davis in his box during the Jets/Raiders? I clicked over to see Jones stats, and now I might have trouble sleeping after seeing a living, pissed off crypt keeper.
At least I have an image for when me and the wife get massages, so I don’t creep out the chicks there.
October 25th, 2009 at 10:02 pm
yeah i drafted manningham with my final pick this season but i have yet to start him because im pretty stacked at WR for as deep of a league as im in but with nicks being such a td whore, manningham is slowly hemorrhaging value
October 25th, 2009 at 10:02 pm
@ Ocho Cinco Fan Club
A game against the defending NFC champs is an expected win?
October 25th, 2009 at 10:02 pm

October 25th, 2009 at 10:08 pm
Nathan, against a 3-2 team who’s wins are against the Jags, a non-Hasselbeck Seahawks, and the Texans [which is respectable]? Yes. I kind of expect it. Oh, and they’re playing a pass first team that they want to embarrass after how they played against Brees last week.

October 25th, 2009 at 10:12 pm
At home against a team that stinks on the road out east, that only got to the SB because they got hot at the right time, I’d call the Giants favorites.
But as a fan of Jerry Jones’ Goddammed Stars!!!, I’d love an upset.
October 25th, 2009 at 10:13 pm
I would totally watch a half hour show that was just Dungy and the coach’s clicker. That 45 seconds is more useful than 45 hours of FOX pregame assholes “joking” with each other.
/what does Howie Long suddenly have against neckties?
October 25th, 2009 at 10:14 pm
Yeah, Nicks is becoming Eli’s new 18 foot tall security blanket/end zone toy. I hate it that my team’s QB so accurately resembles the child he’s mocked for being.

October 25th, 2009 at 10:19 pm
The G-Men are 5-1, with wins against Washington, Tampa Bay, Kansas City, and Oakland. Their one quality win was a squeaker against the Cowboys, and their defense was exposed by the Saints. I still wouldn’t call them overwhelming favorites. But maybe I’m just a Pats fan who’s still a little bitter about 2/3/08.
October 25th, 2009 at 10:20 pm
Hey, hey, hey, guys. Seriously. Lay off Ms. Kremer. She’s just as God made her. And Lens Crafters. She’s just how God and Lens Crafters made her.
October 25th, 2009 at 10:21 pm
@ Nathan Hale – I remember telling a co-worker how the Giants hadn’t beaten anyone and were a poor pick in a playoff pool the year they beat the Pats in the Super Bowl, apparently the Giants are fortune’s fools.
October 25th, 2009 at 10:23 pm
Yes, you are. Everyone has bad games. Your team had one on the aforementioned date. The Giants had one last week. Oh well.
RE the Saints game: It was a bunch of things. The injured secondary. Bad coaching/gameplan [don't try to have a shootout with Brees. Run the fucking ball. Don't have Eli hurl it 40 yards every 4rd throw]. Shit like that. Not to make excuses, it happens.
October 25th, 2009 at 10:25 pm
I’m not the first one to say it, but cmon man, get something right. Don’t you dare impugn AD! It was Chester Taylor who bobbled the INT. Why was Chester in the game instead of AD at that point? You’d have to ask the brilliant Childress about that one.
October 25th, 2009 at 10:25 pm
@ Ocho – Overthinking – It’s the new black.
October 25th, 2009 at 10:27 pm
@85FC: what’s a 4rd throw? Is that some formation that’s not in the Madden Playbook? Or what Howie Long calls all those trucks with the tailgate step ladder?
October 25th, 2009 at 10:28 pm
Nathan, the Pats beat one team over .500 (Falcons) so far themselves. Laying 54 on a team thats gave up on the season the week before isn’t much to brag about.
October 25th, 2009 at 10:31 pm
LFND: I like to think of it as manufactured optimism.
Anyone have any idea why people analyze stats by month in football? Unless that month is December/January, what the fuck? How is someone’s record in October significant?
October 25th, 2009 at 10:31 pm
“only if its a question about anal” They’re really good with gay male sex questions too.
October 25th, 2009 at 10:33 pm
its an approximation somewhere between every 3rd and 4th throw. I wasn’t keeping track, but that’s how often it seemed eli threw deep in that game
October 25th, 2009 at 10:34 pm
@ da fox
I never said that there was anything wrong with the Giants, or that the Pats were better. I was simply saying that the Giants shouldn’t be considered a lock against the Cardinals, and the scoreboard seems to be vindicating me right now.
As to the Pats season so far, they have also beaten the Ravens who are a good deal better than most of the teams that the Giants have played. They also came within a coin flip of beating the undefeated Broncos.
October 25th, 2009 at 10:35 pm
Shouldn’t it be called 3rt?
October 25th, 2009 at 10:36 pm
At this rate, a new term will be coined: Feagled out.

Second, I liked the breakdown of the Helmet Catch but it would have been 10 times better if NBC show the image directly on my screen rather than showing me a screen on my screen.
I said that SAME EXACT THING the first time they did that. What the fuck, really NBC?

Nathan,
A bunch of other teams came close to beating Denver. Cincy, Dallas, and San Diego come to mind. The Ravens are at .500 right now.
Good teams beat inferior opponents. With a good offensive and defensive line, at home, and both teams tendencies, you’d have to call the Giants favorites tonight. And I hate the Giants. It’s why I’m rooting for Fitty and crew.
October 25th, 2009 at 10:41 pm
@ da fox: +1000.Wow. That bitch is Feagled out.
October 25th, 2009 at 10:43 pm
Nathan, point made.
The media will occasionally blow things out of proportion, but really, why the fuck is Jacobs running like a pansy this season? You resemble a brick wall. Run like one.
October 25th, 2009 at 10:44 pm

Would anyone agree with me that Pam Anderson is Feagled out? I used to think she was smoking hot, but now every time I see a picture of her she looks like an old woman.
October 25th, 2009 at 10:52 pm
Nathan, she is LT’d out.
October 25th, 2009 at 10:52 pm
roughing the passer penalties are feagled out.
October 25th, 2009 at 10:52 pm
Yes. Pam Anderson is Leg-Fall-Off Feagled out. She just went to shit real quick

O.K. we’ve got a minute here. What’s the protocol on getting your condoms back from the woman that just dumped you after making you buy lambskin condoms because she’s allergic to latex? Should I just put that in the mailbag?
October 25th, 2009 at 10:56 pm
leave those lambskins behind, they’re unreliable at best.
October 25th, 2009 at 10:57 pm
I love critical Cris Collinsworth…. it’s so… refreshing?
October 25th, 2009 at 10:57 pm
Bro, condoms are like a non-refundable deposit for sex. Is the bat-shite crazziness worth going after them?

newhope – Oh, that’s a beauty for the mailbag.

@ LFND: That’s what I was thinking. But I got the Fantasy Football locked down. I’d hate to raise the ire of our gracious hosts.
October 25th, 2009 at 11:01 pm
How many did you buy? A crate? Let them go.
Lambskin won’t protect you from STDs like latex. Plus you’re wearing some poor sheep’s guts on your junk.
October 25th, 2009 at 11:03 pm
@ newhopeinKC
We’re already raising their ire by not “bringing the funny or gtfo.”
But at least we’re not talking about you know what.
October 25th, 2009 at 11:03 pm
newhope,
what kind of an investment are we talking about here? Is this like $100 worth of sheep intestine?
October 25th, 2009 at 11:03 pm
@ WTF: I’m not trying to belabor the point. It was supposed to be funny. Having said that, Law School is expensive. I don’t have 45 bucks to be throwing away on a girl after two grabs from a pack of 12.
October 25th, 2009 at 11:03 pm
THey want us to keep the comments humorous.
Planning a commando raid to score rubbers from an ex could qualify.
Or just send her a letter in a month, saying you poked holes in them…
October 25th, 2009 at 11:04 pm
A quick wiki says that lambskins aren’t as effective against STDs either because of the pores. Important consideration reentering the dating pool.
/Holy fuck Collinsworth, stop giving offensive signals away.
October 25th, 2009 at 11:06 pm
Don’t worry about her going all “bat shite crazziness” ( I get excited too sometimes and can’t spell shite), you can always go Todd Haley on her.
October 25th, 2009 at 11:06 pm
@ 85FC: I ain’t fucking no petrie dish. I’m not afraid of any goddamned STDs. I just don’t like the idea of her using my shit with some other ranom dude she wants to fuck. If she gonna do that, she can do it on her own fucking dime.
October 25th, 2009 at 11:08 pm
I meant STD’s prospective girls you don’t know may be carrying.

So after the Stillers beat back Purple Jesus and BrittFar, I wandered off to browse through the New York Times and figured I could waste some time on the crossword puzzle. To my horror, Peter King’s power to make his own dreams come true extends beyond just KitKats and lattes — He is the theme of today’s puzzle:

@ Downfield Matriculator: I don’t know what’s more weak; that you went to try to do the crossword puzzle after the Steelers game, or that my afternoon consisted of exactly the same thing as yours.
October 25th, 2009 at 11:30 pm
get bradshaw out of the game! what an idiot
October 25th, 2009 at 11:37 pm
@newhopeinKC: All I can say is thank God the Lions had a bye this week so I got some football instead of a blackout in my viewing area. The puzzle was so heinous I actually went out and raked leaves instead; luckily I sobered up before having a Sideshow Bob moment: http://squeak.vox.com/library/video/6a00c225283919f21900d10a7de01d8bfa.html

October 25th, 2009 at 11:42 pm
So very pleased the Giants lost this game. Their fans (especially fuckwits like Haterade) are some of the leading exponents of the “Steelers win in SB XLIII didn’t mean anything, they beat the Cardinals” bullshit. Yeah, well, those shitty Cards just beat the Giants in the Meadowlands.
/Crying Cards fans three months now – “WE WERE THE BEST TEAM IN THE NFC! WE WENT INTO NEW YORK AND BEAT THEM TO A BLOODY PULP!”

Pttsburgh only won because of the Refs. NO ONE DENIES THIS!!!!!!!!!
October 26th, 2009 at 12:13 am
fuckin SNF – I am all for mic’in up players but being able to hear the QB calling the signals was kind of retarded. Good lord by the the second quarter I was ready to rush the QB every time Elisha said “Omaha” . If “Omaha” is the code word for the snap the good lord, change that shit up every now and then!!!
October 26th, 2009 at 2:20 am
Woolly side out – right?

Seriously. If Cris Collinsworth can crack the code, it’s not that hard.

“The Vikings were soon driving again with a chance to tie or take the lead in the final minute when a pass from Favre bounced off of Adrian Peterson and directly into the arms of Keyaron Fox.” Bullshit, how dare you blashpheme our lord of grape drink Purple Jesus, it was chester taylor or some other shit RB, AP was sitting on the bench thanks to some genius coaching by Childress. Ape can eat a dick too with along with the rest of his shitty sixburgh.

Enjoy slurping on some Chilly cock for the next few years once he gets his extension in a few weeks. Maybe Vikes fans will blame the refs for that too.

Only the Patriots stand between the Saints and an undefeated season and nobody is knocking them off once they get home field advantage.
I agree on the latter, but not the former. Atlanta and Dallas could both give the Saints a run.
