Re: Saints 23, Tampa 20
Wouldn't every win account for that drop?

Re: Saints 23, Tampa 20
I'd rather they win and loose 8 spots in a crap shoot than lie down to a crappy team

Re: Saints 23, Tampa 20
When you play for nothing, and winning is detrimental to the future of the team you sit your players.
We are the real losers of the Tampa game. Tampa worked us until the 4th qtr, proved to themselves they could win if they wanted it then pulled their players and just ran it up the gut 3 downs and punted. Everyone would be pissed if Brees got injured playing in a meaningless game yet no one cares winning that game might have cost us Beasley or Shelton. Instead we are hoping someone drops, shortsighted thinking at it's finest. |

Well that's on their stupid coaching staff not the Saints and yes the Succs were a crappy team, "you are what your record says you are"

If Brees went down and never recovered, yet we won, would you care? I doubt it, and everyone would be calling for Payton's head. |

Re: Saints 23, Tampa 20
And look at the teams that get high draft picks every year, we use to be one of them. The Raiders and Browns have been taking primo picks for what a decade now. Not really working out for them. That's one thing I like though about the NBA. The lottery prevents teams from going Bucs style.
