#2 seed belongs to the Saints

The only reason I can see for playing to win Sunday is to beat Carolina and eliminate them.

Well I think Herm Edwards said it best

"You play to win the game."

Whether you have 1 win or 15, you play to win. That's what Super Bowl caliber teams do. Colts rested Manning last year and look where that got them.

The starters will start but I wouldnt be surprised in the least if Brees, Bush, Deuce and the likes dont see the field after half.

I am so happy they got the bye, I was cheer for the Eagles in that game today, as almost as much as I cheer for the Saints.

I say anyone with a nagging injury, rest em, or play them minimally. Joe shouldn't even touch the sideline chalk much less the actual field. He's a veteran and we need him. He's gonna be SO fired up for a playoff game. Healthy starters should play the first three quarters.
