As the New Orleans Saints dispatched the pesky New York Jets on Sunday afternoon at the Superdome, a dozen stadium staffers and security personnel gathered around the flat-screen TVs in the back of the press box.
With the Saints' 31-19 victory in hand, it was time to turn their attention toward the NFC competition. Yet, try as they might, the Saints fans could not make it happen. Their mojo failed. The Saints' main NFC rivals - the Carolina Panthers, Minnesota Vikings and Philadelphia Eagles - all won. A few hours later, the Los Angeles Rams did the same, leaving the Saints in the very same spot where they started Sunday's competition: Tied with Carolina atop the NFC South Division at 10-4 and holding the No. 4 playoff seed in the conference playoff standings. The Saints took care of business Sunday. They didn't gain any ground in the NFC playoff race, but they didn't lose any either, and that's important as we enter the final two weeks of the regular season. The victory wasn't pretty. No one will submit the game tape to the Pro Football Hall of Fame for historical preservation. The Saints committed eight penalties, lost three turnovers and converted only 3 of 10 third downs, continuing a flummoxing season-long trend. read more from NOLA |

Re: Saints embroiled in no-holds-barred fight atop NFC standings
The Falcons are a good team. They should've won the Bowl last year and they are fighting for their life. They'll be desperate to save their season and redeem their Superbowl meltdown. They're not gonna give this away. We'll have to beat it out if them. Cant wait to watch this one. Im a Blue Jay alum but I hope we beat up on Deion Jones pretty good. We owe him.WhoDat!

Re: Saints embroiled in no-holds-barred fight atop NFC standings
The legendary 91 Jays- Demarest, DiMaggio, Delorfano-who made my life as a scout WR hell. 9-0 til they met Ike Wilson(RIP) from Shaw. Coach-Abramowicz. Best coaching staff in LA history. Abramowicz ended up Saints offensive coordinator. Songy-State champ head coach. Valdin-State champ head coach. Roth-multiple State champ coach. Possibly best coach in LA-sayin a lot. Awesome yr on Banks.
