Not sure if this has been mentioned already or not (probably has in many different ways)...but for some reason it just hit me today:
Giants: Last year--first round bye. This year: Did not return
Panthers: See Giants
Vikings: Last year--one & done. This year: Still in it
Cardinals: Last year--SUPERBOWL. This year: Still in it
Falcons: Last year--one & done. This year: Did not return
Eagles: NFC championship game. This year: One & done.
So we have (3) Did not returns, (1) One & done, and (2) Still in it.
I think we're doin' pretty good, Since half of last year's NFC playoff teams didn't even make it back, and one of the remaining 3 has been eliminated.
I have no doubts we CAN beat the Saints. IMHO, the ONLY determining factor will be fatigue. If we're fresh enough, we win.
