An encouraging look at history

cargojon · 12-20-2009, 09:13 AM

Week 15 last year - Arizona Cardinals lose to Minnesota Vikings 35-14
Week 16 last year - Arizona Cardinals lose to New England Patriots 47-7

We all know what happened with the Cards.

Let's keep some perspective here.

Yeah, perspective is good. A few very bright sides:

1. The Saints have already won the most games in a season in the organization's history.

2. Every other team in the NFC would trade place with the Saints last night.

3. HFA is still within reach, which will help greatly with the real goal of the season.

As per OP.
Winning game 14 never guaranteed playoff success.
BTW - any stato got any info on this?

OH, and last year, Steelers lost week 16 to the Titans 31-14. Came back week 17 to beat the Browns 31-0.

This is what we need to do to Tampa next week.

I'd rather go into the playoff with one loss. Then Undefeated.

is:
we made the playoffs this year
we have a first round bye
