Psychological effect of Cardinals-Saints outcome on Saturday

[jcblanco22]

Is it obvious to think that Dallas will have that much more motivation/incentive beyond what will already be there if they witness the Cardinals upset the Saints on Saturday, since that would provide the opportunity for a home NFC Championship Game?

ummm, no.

I think it's not obvious but completely reasonable.

Minnesota would then have just as much incentive.

This is a smart man.

So will Minny, though.

I think our guys won't be thinking about that. I mean obviously if AZ wins the chance to host the NFC title game will be appealing to both Dallas and Minnesota, but if either team lets that get in their head, you can guarantee they'll get beaten on Sunday.

I was watching one of those "miked up shows".. I think it was Sound FX... after the N.O. game. Crayton and RW were talking to each other on the sidelines during n.o.'s final drive killed by Ware. They were discussing how they were going to win the game (before the Ware strip sack) and how they'd be back in the playoffs and win again. My point.. I think the players are just as pumped to go back to N.O.? shouldn't make a difference..

Hadn't thought about that also giving Minnesota incentive of well, of course that's true also. Taking that into account though, I think it would just raise the stakes that much higher in this game this week then.

If the Cardinals win Saturday you can bet engines will be revved at the thought of a home game for the right to go to the Super Bowl.

No doubt about it. I hope the Cards find a way to win in what I expect to be a shoot out with the Saints. It would be sweet to have the chance to host the NFC Championship game should Dallas and Arz win this weekend.

As has already been correctly noted, the Vikings would have the same motivation.

No doubt. This game in my view comes down to one simple thing. Execution. Offensively, defensively and special team. Cowboys have been playing outstanding football they just need to keep it up.

This is really a non-factor.
