I'm sticking with my 11-5 season but I think we beat the Panthers on their field but I think that we play Tampa soft. My question is if we beat Carolina and lose to Tampa what would the seed order be?

Beat Carolina and we clinch the 2 seed. The Tampa game won't mean a thing.

I think the trick to "fan courage" on Sunday is going to be, to stay calm in the opening quarter. If the Saints can survive the first fifteen minutes without a total implosion, without completely tanking the whole game away in one half a quarter, THEN I think the cooler heads on this team will come to the fore, guys will get their game faces on, it will settle down, the veterans will inspire the new young guys, and Drew will roll up his sleeves and start dissecting and doing surgery. But if that first quarter is a bunch of Football Follies goofiness like bobbled squib kicks, Captain Munnerlin pick 6's from the 9 yard line, big blotches of grass ripping up from the field, mystery fumbles in the pile that nobody sees, delay of game penalties and stupid stuff like that, then it's gonna be rough. But if that first quarter is just a regular quarter of normal calm football, THEN I'd feel really confident -- the Saints should be in very good shape to pull it out. But surviving that first onslaught of craziness is gonna be key.
