Panthers coach Ron Rivera sent out a warning shot following his team's blowout loss to the Saints in Week 17 for the rest of the playoff teams about what type of challenge the Saints present: "When you put the tape on and watch how they played against Atlanta and watch how they played against us, the first thing that you say to yourself is, 'I hope we don't have to play them.' That's what's going to happen."

I NEVER IN MY LIFE thought I would EVER hear anyone, much less a head coach of another NFL team say something like this about our Saints. I LOVE IT!!!
