This is why the regular season matters ...

How nice would it be if we had beaten the 49ers at least once, the Titans, Panthers, etc? A week off and then host a game? Let's do that next year.

8,9 and 10. Should get us back to playoffs, but we'll need to win 1 on the road. This was not our team's best showing. They were tired and injured, out hustled and out-coached today. Go Saints! Who Dat whatever!

It would have been awesome. It also would have been nice to NOT be the team that played last last week and the team that played first this week. Still, it was nice to be able to play for those two weeks.

What!?!? And miss that barn burner last week. One of the greatest playoff games of all time. Bite your tongue.

It doesn't get any easier though.

There are three teams left alive in the NFC - Dallas, Minnesota, and New Orleans. We will see them all next year, along with San Diego.

If we get a bye, we will certainly have earned it.
