Got back late from the game. It was incredibly loud and intimidating! The Dome and Saints fans are worth an easily 3 - 5 points or more by themselves in a playoff game IMHO.

Rankins being injured is a huge blow for the defense as he became a sack machine and run stuffer this year for us from his DT position.
That said, we can take beat the Rams with a quick start on offense next week and our D is better vs. theirs.
