Saints will take division lead over next 3 weeks
The good news is that it's between us and Carolina. We're 1.5 games back. The Saints have the most complete team in the division and, aside from Byrd, are relatively healthy.
Seattle will beat Carolina next week. We're at home, and aside from the last 3 series yesterday, the Saints played well. It's an "if" for sure, but a win over GB with a Carolina loss puts us in a great spot heading to Carolina to take the lead. Their O-line is beat up and a win over GB would help give us the confidence to beat Carolina. Carolina has serious potential to go 0-3 over the next 3 games. It's time for us to get going, get hot, and get fully healthy for a November/December push. We ain't out of it by a long shot. 4 division games to go.

Saints lose. Carolina wins. Bucs win. Falclowns lose.

Re: Saints will take division lead over next 3 weeks
How exactly does the tie that Carolina has, figure into things? It would suck if that somehow ends up screwing up the Saints. Does it count as half a win? If the Panthers go 9-6-1 and the Saints go 9-7, who wins the division there? I still haven't wrapped my head around all this yet.

Of course the opposite is true too. Saints are 9-7, panthers are 8-7-1, then they have 7.5 losses to our 7... But the simplest thing is to beat them twice starting a week from Thursday. SFIAH |

Not going to happen with Drew Favre ending games with back breaking picks and a defense that plays for 3 quarters and falls apart at the end.
