With a great regular season already in the bag and a playoff spot sealed the NFC south's best team, the New Orleans Saints now have the opportunity to truly prove that they are the best football team in the NFL. If you are a Saints fan like me then you are totally anxious about seeing what Drew Brees and the rest of the Saints will do in the playoffs.
With the Saints losing their last two games their is a bit of a reason for concern. The game that the lost to the Dallas Cowboys was not so much of a heart breaking event like their loss to the Tampa Bay buccaneers was, especially considering the fact that the Buccaneers were 2-12 coming in to that game. This definitely makes one wonder if the Saints stand any chance against the stiff competition that they will face in the playoffs.
The Saints next game will be against the Carolina Panthers on January 17th. I believe that the outcome of this game will shed some light on what the fate of the team will be in the post season. If they lose this game then it will be three in a row that they have lost, which would NOT be good. Even though they will go to the playoffs either way, it won't do much good for the team's morale. I myself am a firm believer in momentum carrying a team further than they would normally go without it in the post season, and another loss for the Saints would totally kill their momentum heading into the playoffs. Hopefully that will not be the case with the Saints and they can overcome this little speed bump that they have encountered during the past few weeks. If not then everyone's hopes of seeing them face off against the Colts in the Super Bowl could be shattered, and that would truly be a travesty...
