Hello Who Dats & Who Datettes and welcome to the Saints week 15/game 14 thread.

Getting into the stretch run and if there's a run to be made to the playoffs, now is the time to make it, esp. with a road trip on a short week coming up before back-to-back divisional game to wrap up the regular season.

To keep the momentum of last week going, having ended a three-game losing streak, the Saints have to get past what is turning into 1 of the feel good storing of the NFL right now in Tommy DeVito.

Yes the Giants have a poor record currently, but behind the 3rd string QB, they're actually on a 3-game win streak with wins over the not-the-Redskins, Patriots, & Packers. On Monday night against Green Bay, DeVito got the Giants into field goal range for the game-winning drive after the Packers had taken the lead right after the 2:00 warning.

With the Falcons playing the Panthers and Bucs playing the Packers this week, the Saints almost assuredly need a win today to keep pace in the race to win the worst division in the NFL.

LET'S SHRINK THE GIANTS AND GET BACK TO .500 ONCE AGAIN!!!
