Remember what happened the last time we got embarassed by an NFC west team??
 

We moved on and hammered the Panthers and broke an 8 game winning streak.

We are gonna go in there so pissed off and with such a chip on the players shoulder abbout not being able to win outdoors on the road that we will stomp them.

I feel sorry for the Panthers fans whose diluted thinking has them winning the division.
No way its gonna happen.
We win out and still get the 2 seed.

It's a division game, so who knows what will happen.

And it's not at home, I think i'm buying in on that "Saints aren't road warriors," I mean come on, we lost to the Rams and Jets.

Remember when the Rams lit up the Colts? After the Colts smoked the Seahawks and the Broncos? DOES THIS MEAN THAT THE RAMS ARE BETTER THAN THE SEAHAWKS AND THE BRONCOS?...AND THE JETS BEAT THE PATS AND THE PATS BEAT THE BRONCOS TOO....OMG WHAT DOES THIS MEAN.
No, who cares...we didn't perform for what ever reason, but I stick to my prediction that we will win the division and smoke anyone we play at home.

WOW. Dude, you are officially out of my dog house. Welcome back, man!!!

I have faith the Saints can go in and beat the Panthers at their place. We hold some pretty serious advantages over that team in terms of matchups. The Rams, we just don't match up well against them and haven't for a few years now.

I am not terribly concerned over this loss. Don't get me wrong I don't think this is a Super Bowl team either, but blowing up over this game is forgetting that they are 10-4 on the season. They didn't get to be 10-4 being a crap team that just got lucky a few times.

The good news is that every team has some pretty glaring flaws. Even Seattle, as good as they are, aren't perfect. The Panthers are weak on offense and so are the 49ers. The Bears or Lions are going to probably win the NFC North, both those teams have awful, awful defenses. We would probably smoke the NFC East winner as well whether that is the Eagles or Cowboys. So there is always a chance.

Home games prove so valuable to any team that its not even really funny anymore.

This particular season its a miracle that we even won 10 games this far and lead the division when it seems everytime I turn around, theirs some other team like Seattle or Carolina that gets the teams that beat us when we went on the road, end up going to their place and losing.

Its no wonder we Beat Miami who beat New England, but New England beats us, but then loses to Carolina, who we beat. This anomaly goes on and on.

Yep.

If you can win all of your home games and go .500 on the road you are doing pretty good. That would be 12-4. IMO we are right on track for that. We're really no better or worse on the road than any other team, it just feels that way because we are so dominant at home that anything else is a letdown.

Their needs to be an explanation why this is though.

Years ago back probably prior to the Salary Cap (Ironically) It mattered none if you were on the road or at home, better talent wins most of the time.
