Look we all know that this team is going to the playoffs, and assuming that neither us nor the Vikings have an utter collapse, the road to the Super Bowl is going to be played in a dome, and hopefully THE Dome. To me, that is the most important thing for a Saints team in the playoffs (i.e. not having to go to a Chicago, Philly, etc. in December).

That being said, I think the most important thing for this team is not a win against the Bucs, but it's staying as healthy as we can. This team is going to be in the playoffs, and I'd rather be there with our best players healthy.

Also, I know I'll probably get blasted for this, but going 15-1 this year wouldn't be all that bad. I've read stories about how tense it got around the Patriots a few years ago and how they seemed to lose the "fun" aspect of the game. Not saying I hope we lose a game this season, but I do think that having some of that pressure off might not be such a bad thing.
