Nah...it'll be my beloved Saints losing to the Chargers!
Then they won't make it back to the playoffs for 5 years...

Are you ready for some Football?!? (NFL)

Schottenheimer and former Saints coach Jim Mora (the elder) both are ultraconservative coaches who need the same thing- a guy up in the booth whose only job is to scream red-faced the phrase below into his mike on every play...
"Throw the BOMB! Throw the !@%%^Y$%‹‡fifiÆØ BOMB!"
"Throw the BOMB! Throw the !@%%^Y$%‹‡fifiÆØ BOMB!"
Of course, even without that, they both assembled impressive (regular season) winning records...
Martyball has resulted in the best active W/L record in football, and Mora could have coached sub-500 football for a decade after his retirement and STILL have been the winningest coach in Saints history.

Over one 10 year stretch, the Saints had the 3rd highest victory total in the NFL, right behind our division rivals (the Montana led) 49ers and the Cowboys.
Except our playoff history...UGH!
In one, they were crushing the Eagles in a defensive struggle- up by 16 at the half.
Then the Philly coaching staff noticed that the Saints' D was cheating their linebackers to the strong side, which was why they had no appreciable rushing yards on the strong side. So they started running to the weak side in the 2nd half- draws, bounce runs from strong to weak...even weak side screens.
The Saints stayed in their strong-side linebacker shift.
Philly whupped 'em.
In another, after going 13-3 (behind 14-2 San Fran), they folded to the Cinderella Vikings...who also took down the Niners.
Its like they make the playoffs and just go nuts and pass out...then wake up asking "Wha...whahappn?"
