We had two weeks in here were people were screaming the Rams and Saints were so evenly matched that it was a blown call that cost them the game. But now... the Saints were so much better, they would have won? Seems to have some issues with logic.
Ok if Rams = Saints but a blown call was the difference
And Patriots > Rams... then by those statements the last two weeks Patriots > Saints.
The Saints team that peaked in November who didn't play well the last month of the season and played bad ball against the Eagles and Rams. All the sudden were going to get much better against possibly the greatest Defensive mind in NFL history?
Now if you were saying the early November version of the Saints vs last nights version of the Patriots. I could see that argument.

You are trying to use the transitive property. That's a big ole fail. Do you think Bill would have prepared the same against Brees?
No.

I really did not watch much, but that miss TD due to the ball being so late could have made a difference, I bet there were other missed plays by the Rams.

No, it would be easier to guard this version of the Saints than the Rams. I know your still butt hurt about the Saints not doing enough to win. But how are the Saints that much of a better team than the Rams, if they couldn't beat them at home due to one late game call. But all the sudden they were going to open up a can of whoop ass on the Patriots?

The Saints with less weapons and weaker lines were going to be more of a threat than the team that beat them? OK....

Kerry Collins against the Ravens was probably worse. Cam Newton against the Broncos was also terrible.

I think the NFL will take our money and be very happy.
As Howard Cosell said, "Love me or hate me but don't ignore me." This silly outrage is good for the NFL, it gets people talking about something other than players kneeling during the NA!
The NFL hopes for controversy every year.

Gronk wasn't Gronk for the majority of this season… and he was smart enough to keep the vast majority of his money, making more money for him.

Ah, Doug. Planting his flag in the transitive property. Smart. As anyone who has ever watched football knows, if team A beat team B, and team B beat team C, then team A is always better than team C. To imply anything else is pure folly.
Also, I didn't know football was like ping pong where you had to win by 2. I guess its not enough to just beat the team you're playing in regulation, now you have to play well enough to not only beat them but also beat them by enough points so that when you are on the receiving end of the worst call in NFL history you still win the game.
I do think the Saints would have done better, if for nothing else than the fact that they hardly could have done any worse than the Rams. IMO, having a veteran QB and a veteran coach was the difference. Brees and Payton have been there before and probably would have been better prepared.
