10-5
 

Hard loss but not a bad loss. It was a hard fought game.

Tampa Bay at home next week then we start the wildcard round starts.

Best ball we have played on the road this 1/2 of the season.

Re: 10-5
 

We played like ass on offense but we also have to give credit where it's due. Carolina has one fine defense.

I don't pay much attention to the playoff picture but is the 2 seed out of the picture now?

Re: 10-5
 

Wild card vs Chicago? Maybe Philly - we can win both of those.

Saints and 49ers wild card make for a couple of scary home games for the division champs that host them.

Definitely a road for us... might take us back to Carolina and then its on to Seattle and then NY.

Re: 10-5
 

Not a bad loss? I appreciate your optimism. I don't have much right now.

But this was most definitely a bad loss. Don't look past the obvious in your quest for positives.

We played horribly. The offense was just plain bad. The defense caved in the end, despite playing well prior to the end, if you forgive them for (a) the Panthers' longest pass play of the season and (b) the Panthers' longest running play of the year and (c) allowed some no-name to score his first TD of the season.

Terrible. Just terrible. And most definitely a bad loss.

Re: 10-5
 

We have to win next week and then Atlanta has to beat Carolina next week to take the division (I think) Not sure about the #2

Re: 10-5
 

I'm not convinced either will happen.

Re: 10-5
 

Thanks.

Go Dirty Birds!

I'll be their number 1 bandwagon fan next week.

Re: 10-5
 

No it's not but Carolina would have to lose to Atlanta, and us beat TB for us to take the NFCS. Luckily they didn't play the Rams.

Re: 10-5
 

Atlanta might roll over just to annoy the Saints.

Re: 10-5
 

Should we quit our jobs, smack the wife, buy some eggs and really embrace being a Falcon fan?

Re: 10-5
 

They're not good enough to roll over. They suck worse than we do.

Re: 10-5
 

There is nobody in the playoffs that we can beat on the road.

Re: 10-5
 

Wouldn't doubt it, they're so bad they don't have to try hard though :bng:

Re: 10-5
 

How about I just make a youtube video while wearing a wife beater?

Re: 10-5
 

Atlanta will play the Panthers tough to show some pride, maybe Ryan will pull one out for old Drew. A thank you present maybe?

Re: 10-5
 

I would like an Offense. Really.

Re: 10-5
 

We might make and will likely make the playoffs, but for what? It'd be a hard road to NJ. ... We had our chances and could not close the deal. Got to be able to close the deal in the playoffs.

Re: 10-5
 

Rize up papz! Rize up!!!!!

Re: 10-5
 

Saints... at HOME against Tampa Bay?
I'll take the Saints any day of the week.

The Saints on the road for playoffs?
Saints are just not the same team on the road. The criticism is we are NOT AS GOOD on the road rather than we CAN'T WIN on the road.

Re: 10-5
 

I don't recognize this team on the road, who are they? Our offense plays like crap and we call on the defense to pick up the slack, and for most of the game they do?

Re: 10-5
 

TBH, its games like this that make me love Football. Win or lose, the euphoric highs flipped over in a heartbeat to a dagger in the heart. No game comes close.

I only got into football again about 6 years ago and, my god, its been memorable. It is just so intense. Even last year, watching the Hawks come back against the birds.

NFL is an amazing game.

Re: 10-5
 

Im tired of saying...

But why isnt the media?

Payton has been awful this year. I wish he was still suspended.

Re: 10-5
 

Maybe.. just maybe, we learned what NOT to do and the playoffs are ours for the taking!

Re: 10-5
 

Superbowl caliber, world-beaters at home, not even a playoff team on the road.

Nuff said. Prove me wrong Saints.......

Re: 10-5
 

Backing into the playoffs doesn't even begin to describe it. More like falling backward into the grave we just dug for ourselves.

Re: 10-5
 

Me too. Feels very strange to say that.

Re: 10-5
 

:rolleyes: That comment is too stupid to even waste time on a rebuttal

Re: 10-5
 

Did our o line play today?

Re: 10-5
 

Agree. But he has not done a good job in the last month and a half.

Re: 10-5
 

Because you dont have a rebuttal. Rob ryan is why we are winning. If we had rob last year we would have been a better team than what we are seeing this season.

Re: 10-5
 

Yep. Bandwagon.

Re: 10-5
 

HA, that's funny.

Re: 10-5
 

Are we officially underdogs going in to the playoffs? I am comfortable with that. No Dome sucks and every team is outside mostly in the freezing cold, but I'm happy chasing.

Re: 10-5
 

They played Duplo.

Re: 10-5
 

Are you just stupid? If it was Payton we wouldn't be 7-0 at home either... Something else is going on... Just remember what we were before Payton was coach, if you were even on the bandwagon then

You make TheDude tolerable.

Re: 10-5
 

This might be the wrong thread, but at least the Cowboys winning will push Cam off the front page for a bit.

Re: 10-5
 

If you (can apply to all of you) cannot summon the mental capacity to actually put reasoning behind why you disagree you don't hold any ground to stand on because you are not making any argument.

Re: 10-5
 

:rolleyes: You're a moron, go back and watch some games before '06 and tell me that we are better off without Payton

Re: 10-5
 

Carmichael is a far better play caller than Payton. The statistics show this; so what are we arguing over? Rob Ryan made this D amazing; a top 5 Defense, are you kidding?

Carmichael gave this team a 7-9 record with the worst D in the history of the league. I think he would do well with the D we have now.
