Yasinskas...."Saints should be able to beat both the Bucs and Falcons twice."

Grimm, I think getting off to a decent start is more important than ever. If you're down 17 again, you're done. If you get to the half within a touchdown, it's anybody's game. Sit in that soft zone like we did last year at home against them and we won't shed our blocks, they'll eat up 15, 20 yards a chunk and kill us. So yes, our defense has to come out and play like it did against Atlanta.

Everything clicked for SF last week. This has been a season full of surprises. It could be the Bucs' turn to surprise us. They are not going to quit just because they had one rough outing. The objective is STILL to win the division. A win Sunday would put us in the driver's seat. A lot can happen in 11 games, and it's not like it's been a decade since we have beaten this team.

All fair points, sparky. We have the choice: make last week our defining week of the season OR this one.
