The Saints were in every single game that they played thru week 16. Most our team ever lost by was 7 POINTS. NO ONE this year has kicked our a** and handed it to us. Find me another team not named the Colts that can say that.

Yes indeed ... I wonder where you got this idea from?

Good Idea ... or just call Jessica ... she might just cum over.

The Iggles were holding back yesterday.

Yes indeed ... the last game no one played. We should've won the Tampon game as our kicker gaffed. Dallas was more motivated, we committed three t/o's, and still only lost by one TD.



We'll be rested and full strength. Back to the days of 45-13 wins!

1. Cowboys - They are playing well and up to their talent. They did beat the Saints in New Orleans. They will beat the Eagles and can beat the Vikings. You have to stop the run and pressure Romo into some bad throws. Easier said than done.
2. Packers - They may be playing the best right now overall. Although, their QB has never been there and their O-Line, although playing better, will give up some sacks.
3. Vikings - Farve is a Hall Of Famer. Perterson is great and will be motivated. The secondary is suspect if you can protect your QB. Atleast one game at home.
4. Saints - Having Greer and Porter back is huge. Not having Thomas 100 percent is the same in a bad way. Bush will need to play his best. Brees will have the Saints in every game. The run defense may be their downfall. They are at home for the duration.
5. Cardinals - Extemely talented. Very inconsistent. They made a run last year but the competition is much tougher this year. Pressure Warner and they're done.
6. Eagles - Defense is bad. Running game struggling. Don't let them get the big play. All road games. One and done.

True. We blew it against, Dallas, though. That was a very winnable game. Just took too long to turn it on. And there isn't a Cowboy lovin' analyst out there that didn't think Drew was about to do it again (last minute comeback after a missed field goal). Tampa? No excuse. We stopped playing. Obviously that won't happen in the playoffs, but still no excuse. Of course that last game doesn't count at all. It would have been nice to win, but how would that have been the big momentum swinging win everybody claimed we needed? All that would have proven is our back-ups can beat a non-playoff team's back-ups in a meaningless game. And in none of those 3 games did we get blown out like Minny in 2 of their 3 late season loses.

Like I said several times in the chat room, I'm tired of analyst quoting that stat that no team ending 0-3 has ever won the Super Bowl without quoting the counter-stat: no number 1 seed has ever ended a season 0-3 either. So all those 3 game skid teams that faltered in the playoffs were lower seeds. Record-wise and statistic wise, we're still the best team in the NFC and the second best in the league. But I agree with what everybody else has been saying, let them down play us. I want Philly/AZ/GB to come into the Dome feeling like the favorite. With stars in your eyes, you can't see Darren Sharper dropping back into coverage, or Vilma blitzing, or Meachem streaking up the slide line, or Bush faking the double reverse.

Re: No respect: NFC Fear Factor
 

I am so sick of the freaking media. They are so "now". A few weeks ago it was "Oh its going to be the same old Cowboys who cant win in Decmber", now its, "Oh the boys are the best in the NFC. Last week it was "The Vikings are going to be one and done they look tired and out of gas", now its, "Oh they're back on track and ready to dominate. Now its, "Oh the Saints are in deep trouble, no momentum, definitly one and done". Watch the second we win our first playoff game no one is going to remember all this crap. All you gonna hear is "The Saints look real well rested and healthy, look back on track and firing on all cylinders."

The momentum saga is so blown out of proportion! You know what gains your momentum back? Coming out hungry, getting a fast start, and having the WhoDat Nation be as loud as they possibly can in that dome from start to finish.

I CANT WAIT till Jan. 16 with a late start after all day of tailgating. The Dome will be rocking! We will be as healthy as we've been in a long time! And will rise to the occasion just like we have all year long! Geaux Saintsssss! Prove me right and shut all these chumps on TV UP!!!!!

I agree with Danno. I been stressing this to cowboy fans for weeks.

Re: No respect: NFC Fear Factor
 

This "most feared teams" article was actually written last year. Arizona was replaced by New Orleans in this year's version.

Re: No respect: NFC Fear Factor
 

Right. It was the Cardinals that had the #1 offense and one of the best turnover margins all season long.

Yawn.
