I think everyone believes that because Dallas is a game up in the East they are in control. They lose each and every tiebreaker to both Philly and the Giants because of head to head and division records. Dallas is 2-3 in the division and has a loss to each of the other teams in the division. Philly is actually the team the controls their own destiny in the East because they play Dallas, have the tiebreaker edge, and unlike the others actually have 2 division games (@Dallas, @NYG) left. The winner of this weeks NYG/Philly game has the best chance of winning the East. The odds are even more in the favor of Philly because they can actually plunk that 6th loss on the Cowboys.

As far as the Falcons catching us, I believe they have to go 3-0 and we have to go 0-3. Not sure I see that happening, but stranger things certainly have. |

Of course there's no reason for the Saints to let up on the pedal now. We've got Big Mo' in our corner and we should ride it all the way to the playoffs. This means dispatching Washington, NYG, and especially the Carolina Panthers, who would like nothing more than to drop us a loss at the end of the season.

i for one am pulling for the cowboys.....i dont wanna see atlanta again, something about the idea of having to beat atlanta 3 times in one seasons scares me. if their receivers wouldve caught the ball in the 2nd game there might have been a different outcome. Id prefer if they didnt get the chance to redeem themselves.

I will be rooting for the Buc's, Lions & Packers in the coming weeks. As long as the Saint's players keep doing what they are doing, we are in good shape. I also think Payton's past positions with NFC East teams give us an advantage over those teams.

This weekend is about the ONLY time I can imagine EVER pulling for the falcons. But, I'll gladly do whatever it takes for the Boys.
