With today's salaries , it's simply no longer worth mortgaging a team into salary cap hell. At some point you have to pay the Piper. ![]()
On the other hand, if SP knows the rulebook like BB, then in all likelihood we have another Tiffany or two... And then everything I just said carries less weight. | |

Like Duane Thomas said "If it's the ULTIMATE GAME, why do they play it again next year?" |

Re: ARE WE SEEING THE NEW NFL...
No doubt this is important, but I think a major overlooked factor is the timing of injuries. I don’t think Tampa wins if KC isn’t missing 3 O linemen and I don’t think they beat the Saints if Hill, Murray, Thomas, and Harris are healthy. Tampa had a late bye and got all their pieces healthy at the right moment. Throw in the obvious favoritism the refs gave them during the playoffs and boom, 7 rings for Brady.

The playoff saints are a different team. Everything we do well during the regular season, inexplicably becomes a weakness in the playoffs and they look like they don't want to be there. No fire at all. |
