Re: Win this week
Don’t get all crazy. Way to early to worry about seeding. Right now we could get a wild card and I would be thrilled. As a matter of fact we have the type of team that will travel very, very well.
The Rams always kill us. Last year we got them but they usually have our number. Injuries are a concern. I will take a loss today if it means all hands on deck for division play. |

We're also due to lay an egg, the Rams are coming off a loss, we seem to always have trouble with the Rams. This game worries me more than any game remaining on our schedule. I could easily see us getting our teeth kicked in. |

One advantage we do have is that this is a COMPLETELY different type of Saints team that our division opponents are used to playing. Familiarity goes out the window. That being said I’m not even counting Tampa as a sure thing. |

But if we win this game with all of our injuries and such, I think it puts us in that "elite NFC" category. If we win, there is no way the Birds or Cats are gonna catch us. If we lose its gonna be a bloody dogfight through week 17. |
