Big game this week.
Must win for Saints. Lose and they are effectively done for the playoffs this year. Had to win yesterday because 98% of teams starting 0-3 fail to make the playoffs. The odds aren't much better starting 1-3.
For the pokes, this is a huge opportunity to become a playoff contender. A 3-1 start doesn't guarantee anything, but it sure as heck keeps you in the hunt.
Was SO HAPPY to see the Kitty Kats get killed by Pitt last night. Thought this might be Carolina's year to go to the SB. Didn't look that way last night.
Early season surprises (so far): Packers and Niners 1-2. Like the Saints they are on the cusp of becoming a non-factor this year.
So! might as well bill this week's game as a playoff game for the Saints-Pokes. It effectively is one.
