Week 9: Rams @Saints, Sunday November 4th at 1:25pm PST on Fox

Rams: 8-0, 1st Place in the NFCW
Saints: 6-1, 1st Place in the NFCS
The Rams lead the series 41-33

STILL. UNDEFEATED. Oh, it feels good! Go Rams!

Saints are riding high right now, having gone undefeated themselves since their Week 1 HOME loss to Tampa. The Dome will be Loud, Sean Payton will be itching to show he is better than youngster McVay, and....the Rams WILL BE READY.

This game may very well decide HFA throughout the play-offs, it’s on.

One thing I keep seeing repeatedly said by Saints fans is that they are “battle-tested” and the Rams are not. Let’s look at that.

Saints
W1 - Saints L to Bucs at home (Bucs 3-4)
W2 - Saints W Browns at home (Browns 2-5)
W3 - Saints W Falcons on road (Falcons 3-4)
W4 - Saints W Giants on road (Giants 1-7)
W5 - Saints W Redskins at home (Redskins 5-2)
W7 - Saints W Ravens on road (Ravens 4-4)
W8 - Saints W Vikes on road (Vikes 4-3)

Saints have beat TWO teams with a current winning record, and only ONE on the road.

Rams
W1 - Rams W Raiders on road (Raiders 1-6)
W2 - Rams W Cards at home (Cards 2-6)
W3 - Rams W Chargers at home (Chargers 5-2)
W4 - Rams W Vikes at home (Vikes 4-3)
W5 - Rams W Hawks on road (Hawks 4-3)
W6 - Rams W Broncos on road (Broncos 3-5)
W7 - Rams W Niners on road (Niners 1-7)
W8 - Rams W Packers at home (Packers 3-3)

Rams have beat THREE teams with winning records, including TWO on the road.

Saying the Rams have not done anything YET, is like the cool phrase of the week every week.

Opposing Fan Forums

Reading through the Saints Forums has been the most fun I have had reading any other teams forums this year. They are jacked up, high as kites and riding in the clouds from that WIN over Minny. Total respect to the Saints fans though, they are loving their team but not obnoxious.

I thought the Saints were in the NFCS?

Correct. That's the first Alice has ever made a mistake or the person that wrote it made a mistake.

Too funny!!

In real life I have North South dyslexia. I can drive almost to Mexico before I realize I’m supposed to be going to North County on the 5 freeway. Do it all the time.

It’s impossible for me to distinguish, even knowing where the ocean is.

First time it happened typing. I’ll fix it, and big smile.

One thing that is cracking me up on the Saints boards.

They just beat Minny in Minny. This is why they say they are “battle tested” - the Bills did it better.

The 2-6 Bills.

Not to say the Saints are not good, they are.

But my god, to take this and say they have accomplished more than the Rams is just stupid.

Saints fans found the Ram It! Vid and posted some of theirs too.

fun fact: brees owns an unimpressive 3-4 career record as started vs the rams, and is 1-3 against the rams in his last 4 outings, hooyeah!

[RedAlice]

I am constantly amazed at your stats A1.

I knew Brees has had some issues with Rams, wasn’t sure how much.

Mostly this week I’d like to see Payton w an unhappy smirk.
