When it comes right down to it, any team on any given sunday has the chance for that upset.

But, being realistic, we probably aren't going to win. It's probably going to be ugly. But hopefully an ugly loss will drive it home to Snyder finally that it's because of his decision making process that we can't win (Coach, Vinny Cerrato, etc)

Hopefully he realizes that we aren't just a big player or 2 away from being a good team, and he lets this organization blow up in the offseason and completley rebuild. High paid underperforming guys, *cough* Portis, need to be sent packing in the offseason...

Since 2005 Drew Brees is 0-5 in games that were 45 degrees or less at kick-off. Suppose to be in the low 40's tomorrow isn't it?

That ranks right up there with some of the other hopeful obscure statistics that I have heard so far this year.

"Tom Brady has beaten six NFC teams in a row ..."

"Jake Delhomme is 7-0 in the Superdome in his career ..."

There were others that I have forgotten since they have no relevance to the here and now.

In that case, what he's done up to this point this year has no relevance to the here and now. So all your talk about him and your team's accomplishments thus far is just a waste of time.

Yup. And that is the exact approach the Saints have been taking themselves this year. Last week's beat down of the Patriots no longer matters. Neither does any of their previous ten wins. The only game that counts is this week's game. The Saints will be just as prepared for the Redskins as they have been for any team all season long. It is absolutely the here and now.

And I really like the here and now Saints' chances.

you know what i noticed? now that the saints are winning alot of Saints fans are coming out of the woodwork.. never heard this many when they were the Aints. and watch when they lose tomorrow there will be some excuse like Oh we are resting our starters for the playoffs.. Alot of saints fans are only there for the good and not when the team was losing.. which btw has been an awful lot in their history...

Nope. That was 25 years ago and done as a protest against ownership at not spending enough to put us over the hump. The Saints had several year of mediocre 6-10, 7-9, 8-8 type seasons and fans were getting more and more frustrated. But, they still wanted to attend the games of the team they loved. That when a few people came up with the idea of the bags. They were able to still show up at every game, but sent s harsh message to ownership.

I agree. New Saints fans are showing up all over the country. We have always been here in Louisiana, but the current success is bring in many more fans. I am sure you didn't hear much way back when there were the Aints. In fact, you probably didn't hear much about our fans until recently. But, did you know there is a 47,000 person waiting list for season tickets? I know someone who was placed on the list when he was born and it took him into his 20's before finally getting them. The Saints have always been huge in South Louisiana ... even when they were losing.

Oh, and don't expect the Saints to be resting anyone unless we get up but 21 points or more late. The Vikings are only one game back at 10-1 with their loss against an AFC team. We cannot afford to lose a game and lose home field advantage throughout. That is way too important. There will be no excuses because there will be nothing left to chance for excuses. Every addition game the Saints play with the Vikes on their tail is that much more important to win.
