The Simple Truth

Is we got our

handed to us by Dallas.

BUT...

I remember thinking way back when we had the Ravens, Vikings, and Rams that I'd be happy with 2 of those 3 and also figured we'd probably drop another one between the Bengals, Eagles, and Failcones.

And we're 10-2, so I was wrong. Our team is clearly resilient. I wouldn't be surprised if we dropped one to Carolina, and the Bucs will play us tough as will the Steelers, but Pittsburgh is not nearly as good on the road as they are at home.

So, we'll see, but as much as I hate we've probably lost home field, nobody is going to want any part of us in the playoffs, Dome or away, and if we can get Ginn back, Katy bar the door.

The rams gotta play chicago up there and still gotta play seattle. So we might end up with the same record

I'm with you however they swept the Seahawks. I wouldn't rule out the Eagles 12/16 either. They are fighting for a possible wild card berth.

The Eagles would have to sign an entire secondary to have a shot in that game. I just don't see it. Maybe...maayybbeeee, the Bears have a shot, but I'm not counting on it, and honestly I think we lose one more.

Yep, I think home field is now a distant dream. Anything is possible, and I've been wrong before (as we know), but right now I'm working under the assumption that we'll be the 2 seed, and that's okay.

PRESSURE OFF: It may work out for the best.

If we are the 2nd team, we will still get a week off in the playoffs and get a home game. Does anybody think we can't handle the Rams in Los Angles?

The best part is we won't have to win out and get to rest up while the Rams are forced to win to hold home field advantage.

We won’t beat Rams in NFCCG on the west coast. Have you seen our playoff record on the road on the west coast?

That's meaningless. How many of the same players are on this version of the Saints?

If TV advertising money has anything to do with it, the refs will never let us beat LA PERIOD.
