The Saints don't get any style points, or extra draft picks if they win road games by 20+ points.

I thought the object of the exercise was to get into the playoffs! Considering how the Saints finished last year AND that we are perfect in the division, and one game from being .500 on the road, I am happier than a dog with 2 tails.

I am not saying that there aren't issues, but there are a lot of teams that would swap places with the Saints in a New York second if they could.

Does a dog like having a second tail?

For 31 teams 8 & 0 at home and 4 & 4 on the road is a great year, but if its the Saints its a bad year. wth We have been in 1st place in our division since week 1, I am looking forward to them remaining there in 6 days and finishing 12-4.

There is such a huge difference in this team on the road, and two of those road losses have been beat downs. That is why the road losses get blown up into this "can't win on the road" belief.
Dropping out of the #2 seed will be aweful because then they will all be on the road. The Carolina game has just become the biggest of the season, a lot like the seattle game was, let's hope we play better this time.

If we sweep Carolina, I hope we don't play them in the playoffs. because if they were to knock off Seattle they would get the "hot" label and the one playing off of rematches and would give us a hard time even at home. I'm going to hope they lose in the wild card round. Then we'll need SF, Philadelphia, or Detroit to go to Seattle to win or we need to face our fears head on. Dallas is the truest lock to lose in Seattle.

If we get the 2 seed, Carolina (6 seed) would probably have to defeat the Bores in Chicago. We all know how tough that is.

I am so mad about that loss by Detroit. Bears have already played us. I do not want to play them.

Look, I hope I am wrong, I hung my head and held back the tears, we are not a playoff caliber team.

I can't fight this feeling anymore.
I won't say it out loud for the fear it maybe the truth.

When your diehards start to question and feel abandoned...where do you find the courage to start to believe again.

This weekend was a sucker punch in the gut.

C'mon people! The Saints stunk up the joint a couple games! It's not like we haven't seem them do it before.

We WILL win out, beat whatever team has the misfortune of having to play us in the Thunderdome and then go pluck a bird!!

I'll tell you where I get the courage, because I know that no matter what happens, this is my team, because New Orleans is the city I grew up in. All my family is from Louisiana for the last several hundred years. So, win or lose they are my team, and I will be rooting for them and no one else. So, in the big picture, it really doesn't matter to me if they win next Sunday, or even ever again.

That said, this team with Sean Payton, Drew and all the other play makers that have been around for awhile --this is the best team the Saints have ever fielded. So, there is hope and a sense of urgency, right now for these particular years. And, I hope this team fights hard and plays its guts out because we all know that if they do that, they are capable, THIS YEAR to go all the way. We can see it. And, then we see **** like the Rams -- and it's disappointing -- but we know they are better than that.

So, here comes the hope part...I will be hoping on Sunday, watching my team play a division game....and I will be sending all the crazy ass mental vibe **** out to my team in Charlotte hoping they win. And, if they fight hard and play as well as they can play ( like Dallas did against the Packers ) and still lose, then I will be sad, but I won't stop believing in them for one more reason: Any given Sunday, baby.

We are average on the road....we should be better than that.
