Ah Gator, but you forget... the Saints can\'t beat bad teams. I hope we play nothing but first place teams next year, we\'ll go 16-0!

If the Saints come out as a projected cellar dweller and play good teams , it might keep them focused til game 16 . I hope this schedule works to the Saints benefit .

The Tampa Superbowl should be a good starting point to light a fire .

Ah, but we\'ve only had one playoff caliber team... I define a playoff caliber team as a team that actually makes the playoffs. Four playoff contenders in four years... maybe, but two trips to the playoffs in four years with this team and this talent is shooting low rather than high.
