What we learned from the Saints Loss to the Buccaneers

Tampa had 83 offensive snaps. Compare that to our 58. The defense was absolutely gassed.

We got the same path we would have had with a W. Meaningless game other than the Bucs screwing themselves out of a top 5 picks which is great for us more than the W.

Actually not true. A win would have secured the #3 seed. So we'd have Atlanta next week, and on a win would be guaranteed to go to Minnesota for the divisional round.

As it stands we get Carolina, and presuming that the Rams take care of their home game, we're off to Philly for the divisional round. And the way they've been looking the last couple of weeks without Wentz, that could be a good path to go.

Yep, I prefer that path (Philly, Minn) too.

FWIW, Fig Newton went 0-9 to start the game & at one point he was 1 of 11. Constant over throws, under throws and a laughable QBR.

I like our chances vs Carolina in the dome on Sunday.
