Lying down is for QUITTERS, I don't care if TB "gave" the Saints that game. A win is a win in the NFL

... sure, it may be a little too early to predict, but I'm pretty confident that'll be one for the New Orleans' "W" column,

... Monday Nite game as well, time for the Saints to shine.

Arizona at their house can be a biotch though,

I agree that we shouldn't just lay over and quit. You do play to win the game. That being said, it was a very pathetic, meaningless win in a pathetic, meaningless game. I agree that we should've let our backups play for evaluation purposes going into the off-season. Nobody seems to complain when we pull our starters going into the playoffs. I dont really care that much about our draft position. We could have the number one pick and he could turn out to be a failure. Many of the stars in this league aren't first rounders. The draft really is an educated guess.

We were trying so hard to win that game (with our starters) and Tampa was trying so hard to lose (with backups).

We barely won. That's pathetic.

Big picture of this: Coach to starter "We're going to sit you this game so we lose and get a higher draft choice to come in and take your job next year." Anything for the team ( I won't be on next year ) coach!!

But that was happening anyway- we have shed 12 already players since that game. The players put themselves in that position.

As far as incentives, just as an example, if Gallette got 2 sacks in that game, he would have gotten $2.5 million. Other than JG and his agent, who would think that was reasonable?

Well if he would of shown up in the previous 15 games, Gallette would of had that incentive hit before the TB game, sitting starters for a draft pick is what the Titans and Jaguars do, Saints and Payton do not

Galette was #2 in the NFL with 29 QB hurries. 3 behind JJ Watt and 3 ahead of Justin Houston.

It's not like he wasn't getting there. Our secondary wasn't covering worth a $hit.
