The Saints blew the Giants doors off; and yet the Giants went all the way. The NFL is insane; which is why I love it; the talent disparities are so much less then CFB; that a 9-7 team goes all the way. The 2011 Patriots are a total paper tiger; these Giants beat them in Foxboro in Week 9; with half the team injured; and the Patriots didn't beat a single team that won more then 8 games until the Ravens in the AFC Championship. They beat the 8-8 Tim Tebows to get there. And the Tebows beat the Steelers. It's wackiness; every season you try to gauge any team's worth by who they beat and you always run into circular madness.
MrSaints74 We’ve never played well in the dome, 2009 and 2011 were blowout losses, even 2015 was a loss when we put up 49 points. But I will always remember the David Wilson game against the saints at MetLife in 2012.
yeah, but damn did they luck the f*** out when new orleans lost to san francisco in the playoffs. if they'd gotten past the 49ers, they would have hosted new york in the superdome, where the saints scored about 40 points per game in 2011, for the nfc title game, and do you even doubt that they wouldve beaten the breaks off of the g-men yet again? i sure do dont. i mean, they only rolled up 50 points and 600+ yards of offense on new york the first time they played them...
RoJoe: I agree. If Pierre Thomas hadn't suffered a concussion early in the game, I think the Saints would've won. He was an important part of the offense.
@Michael Had Saints beaten 49ers, they had home field advantage for the NFCCG. And in 2012, Saints had a historically bad defense that gave up the most yards in NFL history. Lots of teams scored on the Saints that year. Giants also set the record for most special teams yards gained that game. The 2012 Saints were not equivalent to the 2011 Saints. Not to mention all the suspensions.

I’m a Giants fan and I was praying to God for the 49ers to beat the Saints in the Divisional Round Game. They were the only team that could beat my Giants that year!
The Saints would NOT have beaten the Giants in the playoffs. Giants were on a roll. Eli on that fast track in playoffs Saints D couldnt have stopped them. And the Giants D was great in playoffs their pass was on. The fact Saints blew Giants out in regular season meant nothing. Plus Brees has been a choker in big playoff games since his only title 2010.

@CMoney_504 this game wouldn’t have meant a thing in the playoffs. I’m 2007 the giants beat the packers in the nfc title game after losing by 20+ to them in the regular season. The Giants were playing light years better in the playoffs than they were at this point

Hilarious I remember this comment! Never could take Jaws seriously. But everyone knew Giants were going to lose this game especially with amount of injuries.
Same way they did in 2007. Would have been interesting to see if the Saints beat the 49ers in the divisional what would have happened in a second matchup
Good luck, that's how. We'd have mopped the floor with Eli's face had we played just a few more seconds of defense the week before. And everyone knows it, too!
@@Shabba6884 totally agree. Some teams are just bad matchups for another. No defense in the NFL that year was capable of shutting down the saints offense. And no, the 49ers didnt shut their offense down, they got 30+ points and nearly 500 yards dropped on them.
Reminder that the 2011 Giants were incredibly lucky that the 49ers beat the Saints in the playoffs. Otherwise, the NFC title would be in New Orleans and….well you saw what happened in this game. That result would be no different.
Had seeding priority been removed from division winners in 2011, the Giants would have likely lost to the Saints in the Superdome a second time that season (as of 2021, their last win in New Orleans was on MNF in 1993, with a trip there scheduled next week), instead of going on to win Super Bowl 46, beating my Packers along the way. Instead, the Packers might have made quick work of the winner between the Lions and Falcons, both dome teams who normally struggle in cold weather games, and who knows, maybe the Packers would have defended their title in this case. This is a huge reason why I am in favor of removing seeding priority for division winners. Not all division winners deserve to start the playoffs at home.
As a packers fan I’m not sure New Orleans beats NYG again under that scenario. You should remember in 2007 when we beat the Giants in the regular season 35-13 in NY and then they came and beat us in the NFC Title game at home. They may have gotten crushed here but they were playing significantly better come playoff time and their defense was on another level. They were built similar to how Minnesota was a few years ago when they gave New Orleans fits in both of those playoff games. I agree on the seeding though, it should be all division winners and then the 3 wild cards but from their the seeds are all determined by records. Division winners should only be guaranteed a playoff spot and that’s it, no home field advantage if they have a worse record
@@kylegross1081yea but this ain’t the patriots Drew Brees literally owns Eli head to head and they were undefeated at home that season Saints would’ve smoked the Giants for the second in the playoffs 4 sure
@@PaulineSmith-tb5liagain it was a different team and we don’t know that. Just like how the saints owned TB12 in the regular season twice and then the Bucs came in and beat them in the playoffs..

These same Giants; got SWEPT by the 4-12 Redskins. Redskins are the only team in NFL history to have Half their wins be against that season's champions. The only team with a 25% win percentage to sweep a Superbowl winner? The second loss to Redskins was at a bad time, late season, when the Giants were neck and neck with the Cowboys. But the Cowboys lost to the shitty cardinals; and game on.
Man had the Saints defense stop the 49ers in the Divisional Round on the last drive The Saints would’ve burned the giants out of the building especially in that Dome If I’m being honest
GOD I don’t think so giants had momentum and that pass rush would’ve gotten to brees this time the schemes changed plus everyone was healthy at the right time
How would y’all know that you know when you show your hand you expose yourself. Giants were a much different team after that 4 fm losing streak. Plus that saints defense was atrocious they would’ve given lot of points up
In 2007 when the giants won, they had lost by 20+ to the packers earlier that year and then beat them in the NFC championship. This would probably have been a completely different game
Giant LB's in this game were very bad. Boley was out and Blackburn was not brought in for another week. Had the Saints beaten the 49ers they would have been facing a very different Giant D that really had momentum by the playoffs (crushed the Falcons 24-2 in the first round and beat the 15-1 Packers). We'll never know what would have happened but it's far from a given that Saints would have beaten the Giants.
Saints r a bully team. They will beat u in regular season blow u out. But when it’s a big playoff spot they will fold. 2009 obviously the exception. I have no doubt Giants would’ve beaten the Saints had they advanced to NFC Title. Eli was on fire in playoffs at that point. He got beaten up badly by that great Niners D and the Saints D was trash Eli would’ve had a field day. And Giants D was hot and pass rush would’ve slowed down Brees enough. All u haters who object I’ll say this. Giants were able to beat the MVP and a better Qb in Rodgers and the GOAT Brady in SB but they wouldn’t be able to beat Brees?
Kevin Burke idk bro that saints offense is a top 10 offense of all time. Look at how the saints were able to put up 32 points on the 49ers in the divisional round despite being down 17-0 with 5 turnovers which is more than Eli and the giants. That year brees had his best o-line ever, I have no doubt the saints would have beat the giants in the nfc championship that year.
Both of Eli's rings came courtesy of his defensive line. And the second one was gut-wrenching for Saints fans, as we would have mopped the Dome floor with Eli's face in the NFCCG had we played smarter defense against the 49ers the week before.
Y’all wasn’t beating us in the dome that year… Niners was a bad matchup for the saints, yall were a bad matchup for Green Bay. Everyone y’all played in the playoffs, y’all had close games against in the regular season. Saints blew y’all out. Game may have been a bit closer, but y’all wouldn’t have won.
I had Brees, Cruz, Moore, and Graham in Fantasy football this game. I won by 100 points.
The Saints blew the Giants doors off; and yet the Giants went all the way. The NFL is insane; which is why I love it; the talent disparities are so much less then CFB; that a 9-7 team goes all the way.

NFL is bullshit.
To be fair it looks like the Giants beat themselves in this one. So many drops fumbles then some that weren’t even fumbles but ruled as such.
That and no one was really able to shut down Drew Brees and the high octane offense in 2011. It’s almost near impossible to stop an offense like that.
If it’s Monday Night in the Dome, expect Brees to put up video game numbers.
A RB leading in 3rd down receptions, I love how with the saints every offensive position is a reciever.
Including FB. I'd *never* seen a FB be thrown to so often until Payton arrived in NO.
Thank you , thank you, thank you. I don't think Eli has ever beaten the SAINTS in the DOME during the Payton-Brees era.
