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?

That 2002 team was so frustrating. They sweep the eventual SB champs, including a classic on MNF and sitting at 9-4...then drop 3 straight down the stretch - including to a 1-13 Bengals team - to finish 9-7 and barely miss the playoffs. The Aaron Brooks era was wild.

Absolutely. Just saying, several years ago we beat Carolina and Cam Newton twice in the regular season and again in the playoffs. That was pretty sweet.
