Lord, this is THE game.
Pete, while I don't necessarily agree with your post, I must say that you are a pretty good writer and your post is a very good read. I agree with Ti Rider though. This is not a panic game for the Saints. We win, we're 7-2, if we don't, 6-3. We would still be in great shape heading back home for Cincy next weekend.
What I did like about your post and agreed with is America's perception of us included but not limited to Las Vegas. Like Adam Schein, I spit out my coffee when I saw that the Saints were getting +4 points this week. What I see in this game for the Saints to win will be simple: ball-control and no turn-overs on the road. We will have to play smart to win. Pittsburgh will look to mimic to the Ravens' gameplan but I think we are smart enough to guard against that poor performance coming off that bye week.
Yes, I would love for us to go up there and get the W, but I will not panic if we lose. It's just one game out of eight more left. GO SAINTS!
