Yeah I wanted 11-5. It sounds a hell of a lot better than 10-6. But more importantly i wanted our guys to be smiling after the game and confident rolling into the playoffs. Maybe this loss will mean nothing come two weeks from now but I don't see any reason to be happy about it right now.

I'm just highly upset right now. Maybe in a week or so I'll get into the playoff spirit. I can't put any positive spin on this loss.

...I'd say keeping your starters healthy was the most important thing...yeah...we won today...but we know we did it against your 2nd and 3rd stringers...

Congrats on winning the NFCS...

Real class! Thanks for the heads up. It's nice to have things like this. Good luck next year. Help us pull for our Saints.
