I remember watching a documentary years back (in the late 90s) on football powerhouse West Monroe. It featured the head coach and legendary coach (R.I.P.) Don Shows.

In one of the episodes, it had Don sitting in his office basically casually joking with his staff, X'ing off teams & how many points they would win by en route to another state title. Total disregard for the opponent.

Well, in the first round of the postseason they were defeated, and humbled.

I know this is 🍎 apples (high school vs pros) to oranges 🍊 however I'm not taking anyone lightly on the Saint's schedule. This is the NFL & all those teams we face are pros too.

Bobby should know this. He had arguably one of the most dominant defenses on his side ever and he still couldn't get it done.

One game at a time.

I made a similar point when people were complaining about us losing last year to teams we “should” beat. Every game in the NFL is a struggle. The difference between being a 6 win team and a 12 win team could easily come
down to a handful of unlucky bounces or bad calls by the ref.
