This is what defenses started doing to us the past four years in the playoffs as they no longer felt the need to defend the entire field; watch the games objectively, and you'll see it...

Think of a regular season game as a pawn and a tournament game as a bishop, knight, or rook...

Except I don’t think that Brees weak arm was the reason we lost the last few years in the playoffs. Rodgers and Mahomes don’t have weak arms and they couldn’t beat Tampa either.

You have a point. Tampa's defense went next level the last 6 games of the season (including playoffs and SB) D-line and secondary especially.

Well, yeah, when the safeties finally figure out they can stack in the box, that defense is gonna show out...

Exactly, not difficult to do against us. It's been done in 3 straight playoff exits since 2018.

If it was that simple other teams would do it more often in the regular season and they would not have won the division this many times in a row.

That doesn't really explain how they also beat Greenbay and KC, two of the stronger armed QB's as well.
