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.

It worries me too. We are definitely in a better position to get beat by a lesser team than we have been all year but division games always worry me the most. Records and stats go out the window. We have ended a couple of the Falcons big winning streaks with some of the worse teams we have had.
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.

I honestly think if we lose this game, it still places us in that "really good yet beatable" category.

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.
