Panthers coach, "I hope we don't have to play them"

It comes up a lot, the comparisons to the 2009 team, but this year's New Orleans Saints are different in a lot of ways than that team that won the franchise's first Super Bowl.

The Saints lost three straight to end the '09 regular season and didn't seem to be playing their best football.

"We kind of had our crisis situation at the end of the season," said linebacker Scott Shanle. "This year it was early in the season against St. Louis. i think since that game we've gotten better every week. It feels good to be peaking right now, but we have a whole new season ahead of us. We'll have to put this season behind us and get ready for the new season."

That will probably be easy to do, at least according to Carolina coach Ron Rivera.

He says the Saints are a team nobody wants to face at this point.

"We caught a football team that is on a roll," he said. "When you put the tape on and watch how they played against Atlanta and watch how they played against us and the first thing you say to yourself is 'I hope that we don't have to play them.' That's what's going to happen.

"Whoever is playing them is playing a very good football team on a hot roll right now. They are gong to have a lot of momentum going forward."
