Who do you fear in the playoffs?

And I kinda feel like, if that game happens, if it comes back around to the Bears and Soldier Field, Payton is going to come out with guns blazing. Weather or no weather.

Understatement of the year.

Here's one thing you HAVE to be able to do in cold weather games.... Run the ball consistantly. Keep third downs short, and convert, and run the clock. Ball control is essential in winning these types of games. Against the Bears? In their house? Not scared of them, but Ivory, and Thomas must take the bulk of the carries. Bring those safeties up, and get the pass game going. Also, stopping the run. Forte is no slouch either.

Essentially, I'm not scared of anyone. We click, we win. Simple, yet not so.

Oh and after that fear our own mistakes...I think at this point the Rams could be prime to be a spoiler and when Rodgers is on, watch out. The other thing that is scary about GB is they have no running game, and sometimes those are the games where teams decide to "find" their running games against the Saints.

I fear nobody...
But we better respect everybody...even the Rams.

The concensus is in...

We fear no one. We are the team to be feared.

Dem Saints.

It is all down to us. We turn up, play 60 minutes of solid Saints football and we enjoy the outcome. We turn up late or hand a lifeline during the game and I wonder if we can keep getting the late scores to win.
