This is a game of Pride we do not need to let these guys beat us. Plus we can set the tone for next year since we know next season someone new will win our division.

Saints vs Bucs

I honestly couldn't care less about this game. The Bucs took themselves out of the running by losing to Philly, and I think they lose to St. Louis next week. They have no shot at going to the playoffs. 2nd place in the South isn't much of a prize.

******** Draft Pick Bowl

******** Draft Pick Bowl

What about setting the tone for next season? Well I guess thats more of a hypothetical and if we finish with a worse record reality is we can get a better draft pick and possibly field a better team.

Hypothetical vs Reality

But then if players are half assing to get a better pick does that not skew our team evaluation in terms of our needs and ability maybe at this point we have enough body of work to determine the needs and who has skills an who doesn't and tanking the season is just an ethical thing. Just throwing out thoughts.

Brees posted on Facebook never quit. So if I am to believe him then I think we will win this game and the rest of them and finish 8-8.

Do we really want to watch our guys lose to Bucs Cowboys!!! and Panthers???

Especially the Cowboys

These are division games, the last thing you want to do is lose those games at home. It just builds confidence for the next year when they come back to play in the dome.

But what if when they come back because we threw the games we have a stud OT or a stud LB etc. Does that point of view interest you? I admit it does make me go hmmmmm.

You can't throw games, but do you need Brees playing every snap of a worthless game?

You should be in politics but I see your point.

Congratz!!! I just finished my Bachelors in IT

Awesome news

Applied to 13 Ph.D. programs. Will probably be in another part of the country where the Saints' game isn't the local game (may have to pony up for NFL Sunday Ticket), and I doubt I'll have a chance to watch them live unless they travel to wherever I am. The last Saints' game I might attend for a while would be the Chiefs' game

Yea man I've grown accustomed to Saints away games which gets annoying to constantly be outnumbered and then theres watching the games on TV which Ive found Saints bar for the most part and Im sure you could find one whereever you end up.

If not theres always BWW or Hooters or something

Yea that Chiefs game was my last Saints game as well I'm in the stands telling folks this might get ugly and it did for us

But I'll say this you will find that WHO DAT Nation is pretty widespread tho AJ.

Not sure if they were just riding the success weve had recently or not but theres quite a few Saints fans around lately.

A lot of the bars that LSU fans gather to watch the games are also hot spots for Saints fans as well. If you guys are ever in New York City go check out a sports bar called Legends.
