New Orleans Saints' Cam Jordan, Akiem Hicks, encouraged by Rams' eight sacks vs. 49ers

Defense was bailed out from all around poor play by the Carolina offense.

Run d got gashed a bit.

Our guys better stay laser-focused on assignments and executing.

Same goes for the offense.

Don't forget the niners almost handed us our first home loss last year.

Almost doesn't count, and what does last year have to do with this year?

Technically it doesn't. But in a heated rivalry, what happened last year means a lot. Just ask Dallas how motivated they were to whip us this year.

I don't buy it. Dallas, prior to the loss of Romo, was playing very, very well and not just against us.

You don't have to buy it. It's a fact.

Teams get more amped to play certain opponents, especially when they either:
Lose on a questionable call
Get knocked from the playoffs
Get dominated due to injuries
Etc...

Don't tell me YOU didn't have SF circled this year.

Actually, no I didn't. I hope the Saints are wanting to hurt somebody on Sunday because they f*cked with PT and knocked us out of the playoffs.

But what I really believe is: Different year, different team. I don't think the psychology, even if slightly persistent after a loss to a particular team the year prior, is not determinative to winning -- because we are talking about team of individuals who are all motivated by different things. Players are coached to have amnesia about even the previous play. Teams want to win each week just as much as the previous week. Desire may be increased by losing the previous week -- but in my mind that's about as far as it goes.

There is some truth to this, look at how the Skins played against Dallas.

That said, the 49ers will be motivated by the fact that they have lost two straight, how they lost last week, and the fact that losing today would all but put them out of the playoffs.
