I suggested no such thing and would appreciate my words being taken at face value.

Here is your scenario, you have to give 2 losses to somewhere in the NFL. Where would you rather have them?

Go ahead and do that then. I'm pointing out the obvious, because I'm tired of the passive aggressive remarks about how we are spoiled if we're mad about a loss, and how it doesn't matter that much. But I can see that my words are falling on stubborn and deaf ears.

There is no way Oak was saying it was ok to lose. That is out of context. I read it as 'if we are going to lose it is better to do so to an AFC opponent'. He's a Saints fan like all of us so why would he want us to lose? Come on man!

Re: Six and Two!

All good teams have a bad day every now and then. I am happy to be 6-2 and I still think we will win our division. People are saying how great Carolina is playing their last few games but they haven't played any world beaters.

Well to be fair, neither have we.

I understand that logic, Oak. My point is that these are games we should have won. So to answer your question, I'd rather have two losses to teams where I would more expect to have a loss. Now we MUST beat all of the best teams on our schedule. There really is no margin for error now, if there ever was.

First thing you did was jump in here and direct your anger at other Saints fans, just like a Panthers or Falcons fans would do.

No need and ***** at us when we have no outcome on the game. You sound just like a rival fan with the whining...

Yet again, I did not say 'WANTED to lose". The suggestion is that it somehow matters less because it was an AFC team. There will be no tie breaker scenarios if we can't beat the teams we should beat. It's a simple point I'm making.
