Atlanta and Carolina aren't going to come easy. Atlanta is always a nail-biter and Carolina feels like a trap game to me.

CJSchneider · 12-18-2011, 09:15 PM

I did love how Jared Allen ran his mouth about the city, then managed to rack up just one tackle in the game against us. Keep runnin' that mouth, buddy!

Flyboy · 12-18-2011, 10:22 PM

Atlanta will be tough for sure. I do like, however, how our run defense has tremendously improved and it started during our first game against them this season. NFC South title on the line and at the Superdome.. Atlanta is clicking, but so are we. Can't wait for it.

Flyboy · 12-18-2011, 10:23 PM

NFC South Championship on the line and to keep pace with the 49ers for the #2 seed in the playoffs. We beat them last time, but it wasn't easy by any means.. Monday Night Football and we tend to play our best in primetime. Should be a great one.

Saints could've tacked on 60+ vs the Vikings. Damn that was a beatdown

lotta mistakes though, dont like this penalty frenzy our team is getting into

CJSchneider · 12-20-2011, 06:26 AM

Having watched SF against Pittsburgh last night, I know this; we better have our ish together before we the play-offs. I was hoping the Steelers could help us get a little closer to that #2 seed.

Flyboy · 12-25-2011, 10:29 PM

No more buzz around this game?! Come on guys!

CJSchneider · 12-26-2011, 04:53 PM

I guess I'll chime in-
I am really worried about the outcome of these next two games. A few minor but nagging injuries have the potential to jump up and bite us in the ass ( Moore, Vilma, Ingram, Ellis). I'd just as soon rather see us blow these last two off as far as victory is concerned since we already have a play-off berth. Brees and the record are secondary to getting through to GB then on to the SB.

Auron · 12-26-2011, 05:49 PM

I've been out doing business so haven't been able to pop in and check on my Saints brethren.

Honestly huge game tonight, I'm nervous. This could decide the division right here. I think the key is going to be how we match our mismatch players Sproles, Graham.. against Atlanta's Linebacking Corps. with Lofton, Weatherspoon. If they step up and Defend the Flat, intermediate area we could struggle a bit.

Also despite the hoopla surrounding getting Drew the record, which yes is important I still think we need to do our best to stay balanced and run the ball well... that will help Drew a ton with play action.

I have a feeling though Sean / Drew come out guns blazing in Shotgun 4-5's wide, and just start slinging it though. Which does make me a tad nervous.. but in these guys we trust and they know what they are doing.

I disagree with this, atleast tonight we need to go hard and lock up the Division. We need to ensure we get atleast 1 Home game this post season, I have faith that we can win on the road... but it's just a lot easier on yourself if you can play at Home.

CJSchneider · 12-26-2011, 10:54 PM

WHO DAT!!!! New Orleans Saints are the NFC South Division Champs !!!!!!

Auron · 12-26-2011, 11:16 PM

Drew is the single season passing yardage record holder.

We won the Division, and whooped the Falcons for it.

HECK YEAH, this is going to be a good week. :)

Not that we didn't whoop up on the Falcons, but Ingram was out and Moore sat the second half.

Flyboy · 01-01-2012, 10:35 AM

Final game of the regular season. Going against a hot Carolina team.. Coach Payton already said that we're going to play the majority of our starters but it's sooo crucial that we don't have any major injuries. Hopefully St. Louis can pull off a miracle and we could somehow get the #2 seed.

CJSchneider · 01-01-2012, 01:27 PM

It feels weird having to pull for GB and against SF. I don't want to play Atlanta again in, and especially in the play-offs.
Peyton is 0-5 in week 17 games with NO. Let's hope we can pull out a win here.

Auron · 01-01-2012, 04:53 PM

What a great way to finish the Regular Season. I think we accomplished everything we wanted this week. Convincingly beat a Division Rival in Carolina, finished 8-0 at Home, Brees, Sproles solidified their records, (Graham almost break a record). Finally won a Regular Season Finale game.

Great way to go into the playoffs firing on mostly all cylinders, much different feel going into the post-season this year than it was last year after a pretty deflating loss to Tampa.

Only thing that could have made today better would have been St.Louis winning giving us the Bye. Oh well can't have it all. Still much to accomplish though.

Flyboy · 01-01-2012, 07:20 PM

We didn't get the #2 in the NFC so the we will face the Lions at home next Saturday. Hopefully, it WON'T be how our last playoff game was in the Wild Card Round. Unlike our last meeting, Suh will be playing although judging by how many points Matt Flynn put on the Lions today.. Brees could be in store for a big day.

Just because we beat them once, we can't take them lightly and Matt Stafford has been ballin' as of late. Let's go out and take this one!

CJSchneider · 01-02-2012, 05:29 AM

I'm happier playing Detroit than having to face Atlanta for a 3rd time.

Caddy · 01-02-2012, 05:32 AM

I'll be cheering for you guys the rest of the finals! I hope my bad buccaneers mojo doesn't rub off on the Saints :\

CJSchneider · 01-03-2012, 07:28 PM

Ingram and Herring are now on IR.

NOLAFan · 01-04-2012, 12:02 AM

Im perfectly ok with Ingram being out tbh. More carries for Ivory and Thomas.

I can't agree more. He had better grow into the position at which he was drafted is all I can say. I have to eat my words in that area. I was excited to get Ingram even if I had to acknowledge we paid more than we should have for him. Looking back, it turns out it was a pretty bone head move. DeMarco Murray, Roy Helu, Kendall Hunter and Jacquizz Rodgers all would have made better 2nd round, non-trade scenario picks.
