Do we rest up next week?
Depending on what happens Sunday do we sit most of our starters against Carolina? We are beat to **** and they can use the rest. I’d like to see Brees and Taysom sit and let Winston take a crack at it with some of our younger receivers. I would like to see what Baun, Troutman, and a few others can do with more playing time.
I could see Payton going all out so he can say he swept the division and put Kamara in to block on the last play of the game in garbage time. |

Re: Do we rest up next week?
We definitely should.
I'd like to see Jameis start the game, Dwayne Washington at RB, Austin Carr WR etc |

Re: Do we rest up next week?
That’s why I was saying depending on how Sunday unfolds. If the Packers lose we definitely need to be a full go but the way we play on the road I don’t think there’s that much of a difference between 2 and 3 seed this year. If we could get a bye with the 2 seed it would be a different story.

Re: Do we rest up next week?
Nope.
What if the Seahawks defeat the Rams, win next week & GB defeat the Titans & we lose @ Carolina? We could drop out of the #2 seed. Best case for getting back the #1 seed & a bye : 1. Packers defeat the Titans then lose to the Bears (it could happen) next week. 2. Seahawks win the last 2 games = Saints defeat the Panthers … #1 seed is ours again. Listening at Sean P presser a little while ago, it doesn't sound as if he's resting anyone next week. |

Re: Do we rest up next week?
Seed 2 vs 3 could still be at play. If so, then no resting.
Plus they could be the first NFC south team to ever sweep the division. Kick ass!! |

Blow out the Panthers in the first half, then start resting players.

The difference between #2 and #3 is twofold and both important. First is that the #3 seed is likely to play the Succs. So, the Saints would have to take them on for a 3rd time. The other is that in the divisional round it'll require a long trip to either LA or Seattle instead of them travelling to the SuperDome presuming that #2 and #3 win the first week. The Saints should fight for the best seed they can get. And unless it's a Pack win and a Hawks loss this week, with #1 still available, you play everyone next week until the game is our of reach. Then scoreboard watch to see it's the #1 seed or the #2 seed, as a win next week I believe guarantees one or the other no matter what happens in any other game. SFIAH |

BTW the most straightforward path the #1 for the Saints is the Pack losing to the Titans and the Bears and the Saints winning next week. Then it doesn't matter what Seattle or LA Rams do in their last two games. SFIAH |
