We swept them in the regular season last year and look how well that worked out for us.

Tampa defense was allowed to do "press coverage", which is basically PI. And Brees' arm is toast at the end of the season where he couldn't keep defenses honest with the, not deep, but longer throws.

It would sweet indeed if SP has another successful reclamation in Jameis. Hope springs eternal. We'll see this year. If successful how many teams in the NFL would be envious besides the Tamp Bay Bucs? How did the FailClowns feel when they gave up on Brett Favre?

Those are the spoils of the victor. Would you rather suffer through middling QBs as many teams are currently doing?

Win or lose in the playoffs, it’s still better to sweep a division rival during the season than to be swept... no?

Fun fact:

Tampa Bay has won two Super Bowl titles after getting swept by a divisional foe (Saints) during the regular season ... 2002 & 2021.

Fair enough... by comparison, the Saints have swept Atlanta and Carolina numerous times. No SBs there! 😜

That is crazy though. Both their SBs they lost to the Saints twice?

Are you saying we should intentionally lose one to them to favor the Gods?
