Yes, BUT, we MUST play better than the 1/2 arse effort out there today.

Unless you want to tell me that Sean Payton saw that the Falcons were going to give us the division and threw the game at the end against the Bucs to bump us back down to the #4 seed (with Rams already roasted).

Normally, yes, but the Falcons are going to beat the rams

I’m so pumped we get that senecio whip scams clan then go to phillio and show em how easy there schedule was

This almost felt like they wanted to lose for the easier path the SB. Easier to go through philly than Minnesota.

But what a sour nfc south title

I'm still mad we lost to a 4 win team, but we did get a better matchup for the playoffs.

I'd imagine Sean is giving the players hell right about now though.

I imagine you're right, but Tampa is better than a 4 win team, particularly lately.

Agreed. We should have won, but really the worst case scenario was:

1) major injuries
2) a blowout loss that destroyed our mojo
3) a blowout win that made us overconfident

Exactly how I feel.

Offense lost this game. Can't play like this in playoffs. Time of possession is the key. Players on defense were too tired on that last drive. Josh Hill is garbage in passing game. Poor route running. Need 2nd weapon in passing game.

I like our chances vs Carolina. Awful offense. We can handle their defense.
