Just like how I felt that this past game @ Carolina was playing out the same way as the @ Patriots game, I also feel another sense of dejavu.
This season is starting to remind me of the 2002 season with that famous Dante Culpeppper fumbling and scoring on that 4th and goal play in the dome when they went for the win instead of the tie. We started out 7-2 that year and it all came crashing down. I traveled to New Orleans for that game and me and my brother were so excited about our team that year and thought we had a chance for the Super Bowl. When we got to New Orleans though none of the locals gave the team a chance to make the playoffs. They were still called the "Aint's" then amongst locals.
Well I see the stars aligning not in favor again this year. I think the Cardinals are going to EARN that final playoff spot. Even the Falcons blew their chance to beat the 49ers on Monday Night when it was in their grasp. Now the 49ers can rest starters @ Arizona.
No other team has had more success against us in the dome than the Bucs. You know Schiano is going to have his team ready to play and our boys are going to play nervous.
If we lose there could be an overhaul of our roster in the offseason. Payton is already making changes and discussing the future RB situation. If we choke and miss the playoffs, not only will we go down in NFL history as one of the biggest meltdowns it could cause some big moves. I think Ingram and Sproles are gone, Pierre will have to take a paycut in order to continue his career with the Saints. Colston might have to restructure, Lance Moore gone, Jimmy Graham will get the franchise tag and New England will attempt to swoop him up for two low end 1st round draft picks. The defense will get another overhaul in the offseason and Brees will want the offensive line addressed without restructuring his contract.
We could be looking at a run of mediocre seasons and drafting a QB to replace Brees in a couple of years just like Green Bay did with Favre and Rodgers.
Things could get real concerning and ugly should the Saints choke on Sunday. Also Payton better watch how coaches to because he could wind up going down as a Mike Martz and not a Bill Bellichick. Remember once the Rams lost their offensive line and could no longer protect their QB, Martz was stubborn with the pass and got his QB's killed everywhere he coached the offense.
I hope and pray the Saints win on Sunday and we get some help from Atlanta cause I would hate to see a major roster shakeup especially with us not having cap space.
