Saints at Panthers / Jan 02 '05

[ronzo]

I fully expect my beloved Saints to be stomped into a greasy spot today - but you can't say the Saints are taking this thing too seriously for their own good. The pregame interviews by Kenny Wilkerson (WWL) have been light and funny. Here was the end of the Donte Stallworth locker room interview by WWL's Kenny Wilkerson:

Kenny: Why does (Saints receiver) Michael Lewis suck so bad?
Donte: Well, he's about 3'6" and... he's like 45. You know...
Kenny: Back to you.

Let's see what the Saints are made of. today, anyway.

1. Go Saints!!! 14 to 3 at the half!

After a series of complete mental breakdowns, they've rallied quite impressively.
The Defense is putting it to Carolina's anemic offense and Brooks is having looking sharp.
And somehow they've even managed to neutralize Peppers.
Oh, and did I mention Deuce has over 120 yards in the *first half*?
Woot!

Not that I've put away my Aints paperbag just yet.
Prepare for the worst... expect the best and drink heavily in between.
:D

2. if the Ain'ts win, does that put them in the playoffs?

or do they need help -- a Minnesota loss, for example.

once green bay won their division, I stopped paying too much attention to the wild card scenarios.

[ronzo]

3. We need the Jets to beat the Rams.

If that happens, the winner of this game is the last wildcard.
There's another scenario. (ed: I think it's a vikes and seahawks win)

Go Jets. They're currently up 26-21.

Saints 21
Panthers 10
11:20 left in the 4th

[hijinx87]

4. and if all that happens, you are "rewarded" with a trip to

Lambeau?

ouch.

oh, well, don't give up. no one gave vick and
the falcons a chance in green bay during a blizzard
a couple of years ago, and they stomped ass.

[ronzo]

40. Yeah, that was a switch.

Suck all season and start playing in December. Something threw a switch in the Defense after the loss to Carolina in New Orleans... beats the hell outta me.
