Must win
We have to take care of Carolina. I don’t think Atlanta is as much of a threat, have been beaten by Carolina and we have their number. Without sweeping we are almost surly in the playoffs unless we lay eggs against the Falcons. Cam was injured and couldn’t run much first time around but he’s second in ypc after Kamara. Okafor will be missed. Crawly is going to help take away the pass which Cam has not done well with so far.
Offense on our side has to execute or we are in trouble. We need to cheap shot Cam early and often to rattle him. A courple of nice sacks early can put him in scared baby pout mode. I’ll take a penalty or two against us in our house. Maybe not cheap but get to him. Penetration is key here and we can come out with a win. This is a playoff game and a good team will miss the wildcard. We have to win this one and move to Atlanta with a healthy Lattimore. We have been lucky in every game except the Bills and Dolphins who suck. Played 3 playoff teams with franchise QBs out or very banged up. Cam will run like his career is s on the line. |
Re: Must win
They've all been must win - since Minnesota...
Amazing how a Week 1 loss, where Payton didn't trust an effective running game, but trusted the No. 5 CB (Harris), may cost us home-field advantage in the playoffs... |
Re: Must win
Who else was suppose to play? If not Harris?, He has played poorly but he WAS NOT the only one Rafael Bush missed tackles Pj Willaims had a bad game as well and KV. Defense was dumbfounded last Sunday lets hope they are past their brain farts offensively and defensively.

I don’t know if this is a must win, but it makes the rest of the season much more important. 4-1 for the rest of the season and we take the division (maybe first round bye) 3-2 should get us a wildcard spot 2-3 might not make the playoffs |

Re: Must win
[QUOTE=K Major;779786]Home field advantage is over rated. See 2016 13-3 Dallas Cowboys :p.
Especially in the Dome. The visiting team fans are showing up in record numbers and making noise when they want to. Not exactly producing "Fan Impact Plays", but it's unnerving. All the while, the Season Tix - Club seats sit on their hands. You stand up and shout and you'll be told to sit down and "enjoy the game". Let's just WIN. |

That game's not in the Dome, we're not in the Superbowl - Brett Favre even said it was the difference in that game... And we earned that home field advantage and because of that, we earned that Superbowl... Some teams are better than others with the home field - Superdome used to be the toughest, think Seattle has that title right now... Now if you're Atlanta, not so much... |
Re: Must win
How about the Giants winning it all as a wild card. That would be fun. Rather have home field advantage. Cam couldn’t run partly because of injury and we had Okafor. Him being out is going to hurt. I think we take it. I want to see him pout so bad. We have to hit on all cylinders. We play like the last 2 weeks and we are in trouble.
Hit cam early and often. Cheap shots, a few penalties, I don’t care. Just get him rattled early. That’s the key. Even if he makes the pass if we get a couple of hits in when he first releases the ball we win. |
Re: Must win
I hate to say it. But, I do think this is must win territory. A loss means our chance of winning the division go to 26%. Although, making the playoffs is still at 70% without all other data on wins/losses tomorrow.

How dare you mess up a "What If" post with FACTS!!! LOL

Re: Must win
The Saints didn't "EARN" it. The Vikings gave it to them. Vikings had to win against the Bears to secure home field and they LOST giving it to the Saints.

Re: Must win
Just win the f-en game already. No f-en exuces, execute, make plays, score points and win the f-en game.

Re: Must win
"Unnerving" to me, as a home team fan, and yes, the amount of noise that opposing teams' fan can make in our Dome, just means that the home field advantage is not as strong in New Orleans as some would be led to believe. That was the point of my original comment.
Believe it or don't. Matters not. But you certainly need things laid out for you simply, in a manner that you can understand. You're welcome. |
