IMHO: If The Saints are going to be booted, it'll be this weekend...
To see any Payton led team get ousted from the playoffs....priceless!

Motivation: Sean Payton shows off Lombardi trophy, $200K cash to Saints
METAIRIE, La. -- New Orleans Saints coach Sean Payton had quite the display waiting for his players this week when they started preparing for Sunday's NFC divisional playoff opener against the Philadelphia Eagles.
Payton brought three armed guards, a stack of more than $200,000 in cash, the Vince Lombardi Trophy and a Super Bowl ring into the team meeting room Monday to give his players added motivation.
The cash represents how much money they stand to make in playoff bonuses if they go all the way -- a total of $201,000, according to the collective bargaining agreement.
"Guys make good money here. But not too often you see $250,000 cash right there. So that was very appealing," Saints running back Mark Ingramsaid. "The Lombardi sitting right there in front of it, the ring sitting right in front of it, the armed guards. It was pretty dope. But we still gotta go out there and do what we do."

And fond memories they are!!
If the Chargers can get by the Foxboro in Jan vibe, I think it will be the Saints and Chargers in the Super Bowl.
I don't see anyone in the NFC beating the Saints.
Saints will have gone 20 days between games, we’ll see what kind of affect that has on their team.
It sure as fuck would affect ours...

I don't want any of the 4 NFC teams to win. I'll take Saints making it and losing in the Superbowl though.

After the Iggles were humiliated in the regular season, Foles having the best win percentage in December and January of over .750...And my unadulterated pure hate for Peyton, I hope like hell they go down...
