Perfect Scenario

An embarrassed Packers team w/ something to prove get back to the friendly confines of Lambeau Field and beat the Panthers, who are 2-3 on the road.

In a must win game at home to keep their hopes alive, the Chargers snap a 2-game slide to beat the Falcons, who are also 2-3 on the road.

Saints beat Bucs.

Bucs          8-4    (2-2)
Panthers   8-4    (2-2)
Saints        7-5    (2-2)
Falcons     7-5    (2-3)

(Following week, Bucs at Panthers, Falcons at Saints)

How likely is this to unfold next weekend?

Shockey

Watching him on the sidelines, he seems to be very positive and into the game,  if you noticed him right behind Coach at the end of the half lobbying for one more second on the clock with refs, just seems to have a great attitude, I really think he is going to have a great remainder of the season when he returns, not to mention the difference he will make for others (especially Bush) by drawing some more attention in coverage

Moving On..

You can sit here and credit any # of reasons for this devestating loss, but after sulking all day, let's take a look ahead..

Oakland (Don't forsee any problem here)

Carolina ? (HUGE GAME)

SD (Last ranked pass D)

BYE

Atlanta (22nd ranked pass D)

Chiefs  (Don't forsee any problem here)

I think this loss provides motivation in the coming weeks..

-The D stuffed the run vs one of the best rushing attacks in the league last night, which gives reason to believe that they will be able to do the same versus SD & ATL

-Shockey's return for Carolina, Colston for SD, and an offense that you would expect better execution out of as I am sure there will be tremendous attention to detail in the next 2 weeks of practice

Like someone on here said before, atleast these tough losses came early, and hopefully will spark this team, which I think will come together after this tough tough loss.. Anyone else feel 7-3 heading into the next Monday Nighter versus GB is a possibilty and we're listening to Kornheiser as annoying as he is praising the run the Saints put together?

MNF

What do you think the offense will need to score to put this game out of reach?  I personally don't think Minnesota's offense can keep the pace.  The only way I see Minnesota putting up enough points to win is through turnovers leading to easy scores, which I highly doubt will happen at the level Brees is playing at.

W/ the crowd behind the D on MNF, McKenzie getting more comfortable off the injury, Porter improving week to week, the D line getting pressure on the immobile Ferrotte, stop the run (easier said than done) and Saints win easy. 

31-17 (Again).

Also, quick question.  Attended my 1st home game in the Superdome last week, what is the name of the song they played after a TD? Thanks.
