Forecast: Saints headed to playoff showdown with Falcons

joker-saint · 12-09-2011, 01:13 AM

There is still a possibility of getting the number 2 seed if sanfrancisco loses another game. If the Saints get the number 2 seed they will be off the first week of the playoffs which has proven to be very good for them in the past. I cant remember what the record was after a bye week but I know it was more wins than losses

That would mean they would play either the cowboys or the niners at home. Either way they would still have to play the pack in Lambeau unless the falcons, lions or giants beat them. What a Christmas present that would be. Packers lose and the NFC championship is played in Neworleans. I know what is on my Christmas wish list. Geaux Saints!!!! Who Dat!!! Two Dat!!!

I don't trust this defense from one quarter to another, much less from one game to another. Do we have the talent to be better? ABSOLUTELY, do we have the INTELLIGENCE to be better? Ahhhhh, that is question.

I agree with you, unfortunately some feel if you criticize the defense then you're not a fan. Our D is a weakness. I hope week to week it gets better. It's inconsistent at best from drive to drive, much less quarter to quarter.

Scott Fujita is a piece missing from the SB season that we've never addressed.

I am as realistic as the next guy but I truly cannot believe the pessimism about this team. I would be the first to say it's going to be tough with our defense the way it is but never would I say straight out 'we are going to lose'. Is this so you can say 'I told you so' if it happens? Truth is, we don't know but what I do know is that I will have faith that this team will have me 100% behind them no matter what. And as for Brees looking mortal; he is but what a mortal. And if he doesn't play well, I believe we have a backfield that a lot of teams are envious of and remember, it is a team game. After all of the years of mediocrity we, as fans, have had to suffer, let's enjoy the team of today and what they have given, and will give us. They have Chris Johnson, We have Brees, Colston, Thomas, Sproles, Graham, Ivory, Moore and many others. Sounds to me like we have the upper hand. Yes?
