METAIRIE, La. ― A little less than a year ago, Gregg Williams sat in the stands of Fairhope Municipal Stadium on the eastern shore of Mobile Bay depressed and saddened that the Saints lost to Seattle and he was working on the draft instead of preparing for the NFC championship game and a Super Bowl.

Four months ago, as the Saints were getting ready for the 2011 season, the loss to Seattle in the wild card round of the playoffs was a mainstay point of emphasis in New Orleans’ locker room, safety Malcolm Jenkins said.

So, on Monday, a day after the Saints learned they’d be hosting Detroit on Saturday at 7 p.m. in another wild card game, there was no need to ask about the Seattle game.

It already was on the team’s collective mind and the experience, the learning the sudden finality of the football season, should help this week.

Yes, but they were all pretty hurt on injury list.
I am confident the coaching staff and players are preparing and are going to their best.

Trying to compare the team we are playing in this year's playoff to last year's is like comparing a crocodile to a chameleon!

I believe the coaches & staff will pound the concept of finality!!

	Everyone is entitled to be stupid, but some abuse the privilege. All little common sense goes a long way.
