It wasn't that we were exposed as some team that haemorrhages points and yards, we just proved that anything can happen on any given Sunday....so get off the ledge!

Not to mention two interceptions that our WR's patty-caked into Jets defenders hands, resulting in no points for us, and 10 points for the Jets.

What was that final spread again?

I see it as a 12-4 season and having home field advantage through the playoffs. I see us losing to Carolina at their place and have one more of those terrible games, probably Atlanta at their place. So you see, I have us beating SF at home and going to Seattle and getting some revenge for that playoff game we lost. Yep, 12-4 and home field advantage!!'

We usually play up or down to our competition. I don't think there is a team in the NFL that we can't beat, it just depends on the game we play.

it has to be wish i could trust this output to get ahead for a change and play bash your head in, new orleans style

I cant wait until our offense gets going. It hasn't happened yet and I know for a fact that its going to happen. We have been out of sync the whole year. Our defense has been winning games for us up until Sunday and against SF and SEA they will both be clicking. Revenge is the sweetest joy next to getting P----. Picture paragraphs unloaded, wise words bein quoted peeped the weakness ,,,my bad. Go Saints

This, is the answer.

How many times have we lost or struggled against somebody who was supposed to be weak.... turned around, and beat a division champion. EVen in a bad year.

Would yall like me to stop by the store and buy you some feminine protection?

We can win any game on the schedule. Can I visualize beating Seattle in Seattle? No, but I couldnt dream of beating Dallas in '06. or Atlanta.

Look at the Defense. Our offense still has not uncorked, really a single time
this season. It can. It will.

We can win any game on the schedule.
Put your jocks on straight and lets get ready to hit somebody.

I know the Saints lost two games by beating themselves.
I had not posted because because, umm, I needed some time.

Saints are still that good.
That good to win the rest of the schedule.
They really defeated themselves with the NEPats and NYJets.

The rest of their schedule is tuff. No doubt there.
I think these Saints can win . The key for them is to do not give games away.

Week 10 is a massive week for shaping playoff wannabes.

The Panthers are playing well but have not beat any teams .. actually

Panthers have beat Giants 2-6, Vikings 1-7, Rams 3-6, Bucs 0-8, Falcons 2-6 (Falcons are the only team not in last place in their division that the panthers have beaten.. I see them dropping 1 to the Saints at least, 1 to 49ers, and 1 to the Falcons in Atl, minimum...

I see it the same way i did with the #3 Sack DE of the Bills Mario Williams... His whole schedule was against the most sacked QBs in the league... He got 1 against us.

One can argue that we have not beat any teams really either. Everyone we have beaten except the Bears have a losing record. So the same can be said for us. They have also been beating teams by a wide margin of victory. Our games have all gone down to the wire except for Cardinals. The Panthers also seem to have our number. Some of those games didn't really matter because we were already locks, but they were beating us even before we started pulling starters. Their D is better than any D we have played this year and our offense simply cannot play against old school, smash mouth, fundamentally sound defenses.

All that said I still think we take the division. Whatever happens after that depends on the offensive line. Hell NY did it twice and came in as wild cards so anything can happen.

How many teams had a losing record at the time we played them? Since teams peak and valley, it matters a hell of a lot more than what their record is 6 weeks later.

Also... If at the end you think we win anyway.. Why all the argument before it?
