PrePreseason Game coming up....

Saints have no reason to risk injury to their starters, will be playing backups most of the game. Panthers are without many of their starters. I do still expect the Panthers to give it everything they have to avoid a losing season. 8-8 sounds so much better than 7-9.

Tickets should be around 10 bucks.

Saints coach is saying they will treat it as a must win. I expect to see Brees and company out there in full force, unless the game gets out of hand.

Talk = cheap

No way do they risk injury to Brees against Peppers playing like a monster. Wait n see.

Yeah I would expect the Saints to leave their starters in for the whole game. Yeah they have the #1 seed locked right now, but after that pitiful performance against Tampa Bay, they better try to get their rhythm back otherwise they'll be one and done in the playoffs.

[CatMan72]

It will be interesting to see what happens, I doubt they want to ride that loss to Tampa into the playoffs... I would expect Brees and co. to at least start the game.

[PantherBrew]

I wouldn't expect the Saints wanting to go into a bye with three straight L's.

[DeAngelo Stewart]

I thought they were still fighting for homefield advantage throughout?

When Pep starts breaking through that line, expect Brees to leave with a strained mole.

[MamaSaint]

I fully expect the starters to play a significant number of plays. So many players have been out injured that we need to get in synch again. I'm really hoping Shockey is back....he is more of a vital link than I had envisioned at the beginning of the season. I'm hoping Greer & Gay are back. The defense just seems flat without Greer especially. Porter is definitely getting back into shape after the INT on Sunday. I just hope that the Saints how more emotion on both sides of the ball this week....and don't wear the damned black pants.

Our defense is hitting hard and playing with nothing to lose right now. It's not the sort of squad you want to play your starters against more than you have to, especially given our history of injuring star players.

i would think losing a game that they rested their starters wouldn't effect them, but taking the chance of losing the game playing it with their starters giving it their all would really rattle em...why risk it.

Since the Vikes lost last night they would have grabbed the #1 seed had they beaten Tampa....now its a toss-up.....the worst that could happen for the Saints is a #2 seed even if they lose Sunday.
