True. That's the fact of the matter and the ony one that means anything in a long hard season.

Lets be honest! Today's game was always going to be like a pre-season game! I don't think there were many people, including some Panthers fans, that thought the Panthers would win today and so it proved to be.

It hard to get motivated about a game that means virtually nothing, especially when the Saints can see the score of the Panthers game in the dome and realise they are getting hammered!

I'm absolutely certain that next week you will see a Saints team so fired up that if you happened to get any where near them you would feel the heat from 10 yards away! Just hope the injuries are not too serious!

GEAUX SAINTS!!!!!!!!!!!!

I thought I saw Junior today! Charleston is a play maker. Shanle showed up in the numbers this week.

I can't help but think they played kinda sloppy today seeing that the game meant nothing as Carolina was getting stomped. I am fully confident that in the playoffs, we'll "Bring the Wood"!

I've always thought this since last year. The Saints are a big time team, and they shine in the big time games. (Steelers, Falcons)

Can't wait for the playoffs. Could tell Drew is pissed and itching already.

Saints need to get everybody healthy for next Saturday and come out and destroy some people. I mean absolutely blow SEA/STL out of the water. Bring the wood, drop some bombs, whatever you want to call it, we need to punish some people, get our swagger back, and get teams worrying about what we're going to do, not the other way around.

Today was tough to watch, especially when you consider that outside of Lance Moore, our top six offensive threats were out (Colston, PT, Graham, Shockey, Ivory, Thomas).

I would like to congratulate the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on a fine season. No one in their right mind would have ever predicted a 10-6 record out of them. Like I said in another post, the Saints did appear to let their foot off the accelerator once Atlanta went up 14-0 over Carolina. As the game wore on it was pretty obvious the Saints were already preparing for next week.

Overall, another great season! Super Bowl Champions last year, followed up nicely with a 11-5 season. The Saints really have a nice opportunity in the playoffs again, they are more than capable of winning 4 straight!!!

Yes, I was hoping for three reps from the NFC South.

Gotta hurt if you are in the bay to see a 7-9 Hawks go in in front of you.

Thank you for that Saintfan... With all the drama of the last few Saints games, (ten years of them for me) it's easy to forget the fact! OOOOHHHH C'mon Saturday!
