Are we getting out of hand with this record stuff?

If they put Brees in they need to leave him in long enough to keep his TD pass streak going. That record is one for the ages.

I agree. I almost forgot about that one.
So if we win the toss, we choose to recieve, right? So we can get all these records out if the way early?

The records are unimportant. The Saints must play this as a regular game until it's clear that the #2 seed is out of reach and have nothing else to play for. This may be the mid 2nd quarter. It may not be until late into the 2nd half. It may not happen at all if the Rams catch a lucky break or three in the game.

Probably the best way for the Saints to ensure their position and safety from injury is simply to stomp on the Panthers early. Get up 21 or more points by the mid 2nd quarter, then look to start pulling the starters not because of the 49ers/Rams game, but because of the insurmountable lead.

But in any case, it's not about records. You can best believe that if the Saints were locked in at #2 or #3 at this point, that most starters would be sitting, and not playing.

	Super Bowl Championships: New Orleans Saints:1, Carolina:0, Atlanta Chokers: STILL ZERO Only Atlanta choked in an unchokable situation... Life is definitely good.
