Looking to see what you guys think, and expect

I think over 16 games every team will eventually lay an egg and play flat. When that happens against a good team who brings their A-plus game, you typically get you ass handed to you.

The fact that we played our worst game of the season, with back-ups everywhere, against a good team's A-plus game and still had a chance to tie it with a minute left says this team has what it takes to go all the way.

I think any team currently in the playoff hunt can stomp our ass if we don't bring our A-game. But if we do bring our A-game, there isn't a team in the league that will beat us.

Just my opinion.

Well said - I agree totally.

I think we roll against Tampa this weekend, then play starters a quarter or two (if any at all) against Carolina.

With the "perfect season" gone and HFA clinched, what is there left to play for (against the Panthers)?

I think the Saints need to make this a quick kill and sit a few player in the second half.

Biggest reason: playing a team with two wins this late in the season can be dangerous for a team that almost has the #1 seed. Players on the Bucs side are playing for their jobs, which could result to fowl play.

So slam the door on this game in the first half!!!
