You could at least quote the rest of the post.

FTR I don't think they could, but I knew there would arguments on both sides.

The most logical answer is yes. The Saints could fumble on the first snap of the game. There could be a tip drill interception, etc.

Is it likely that the Saints would score every drive? Yeah. But of course Bama could stop the Saints.

I probably took this a bit too seriously.

This thread is almost as retarded as anyone who thinks yes.

Let's do simple math...

How many NFL starters and NFL pro-bowlers do the Saints have?

How many NFL starters and NFL pro-bowlers does Alabama have?

It would be a bloodbath.

They COULD, but it would be 99% the fault of the Saints. A receiver dropping a ball, or Brees throwing a tad bit off, or a RB missing a hole, something along those lines. It wouldn't be because bama's DL collapsed the pocket and bama's DBs abused the saints WRs.

The difference in college and the NFL is so massive it's not even funny, but for some reason these 'college team vs nfl team' comparisons still come up every year.

If you're talking about can bama stop the saints in ONE possession throughout a game, then yes absolutely. But if they played a full length game the saints could name their score.

How appropriate for a homophone error to go hand-in-hand with one of the worst insults in SEC history.

Once? Of course. Anyone who thinks otherwise is dumb.

Hell no. The Saints could name their score against Bama.

Just once? Without question. Consistently or on back to back drives? Doubtful. The expression is "Any given Sunday". Hell, the RAMS beat the Saints this year. If the Rams can beat them then surely under right situation & circimstances Bama could force a FG or punt...or maybe get a turnover

well the saints are humans..not robots so they're prone to error..so yes they could stop at least one drive...I'd say LSU D could probably stop them at least once....if you say otherwise your fricking stupid.

Bama's D has 11 future NFL starters.

Sure. It's possible. Considering if it was an actual game.... The saints D would keel Bama's O on the sidelines with 3 and outs....So the Saints would have alot of opportunities to score....I am sure at some point a Saints WR might drop a pass or two or Brees have a few bad throws... There is your stop.

ETA: During a 4 quarter game, I actually think Bama could stop the Saints a time or two on their own merit. That is if they went for blood and was giving 100% the whole game.

I will take a different look at it.

Which option is more likely?

1. Alabama stops the Saints from scoring on one possession.
2. LSU gets one first down against the Saints and moves the ball past the 50 yard line one time.

I take option 1 all day long.

obviously

the saints would kneel the ball to end the game, winning 119-0
