Hello Who Dats & Who Datettes and welcome to the Week 13/Game 13 Thread



Back on primetime for the game that will determine our chances post-bye week. This Saints season would've been over a long, long time ago if it wasn't for the fact that the NFC South is a complete dumpster fire.

Tampa Bay currently leads the division... but somehow is still within striking distance of the Saints. A win tonight by the Saints puts the black & gold just a half-game back of the division lead with 3 games to go and a week to get healthier before playing again. A loss tonight pushes the Saints 3 games back in the loss column and with the tiebreaker of a season sweep in Tampa's favor, it would mean the Saints season would be practically over with a week to think about that before being able to play again.

So this is as much a must win game as a game can be in the regular season.

LET'S TORPEDO THE BUCS AND KEEP OUR SEASON ALIVE AT LEAST CHRISTMAS!!
