Forecast: Bad loss, but it could've been worse

What we know for sure is the 2017 New Orleans Saints won their sixth division title in franchise history courtesy of the Atlanta Falcons 22-10 win versus the Carolina Panthers. Dear Falcons, the thank you fruit cake is on the way.

Coach lost the game. Again. Hopefully he quits the "cutsie" stuff during the playoffs. Field goal instead of fake wins it. Totally unnecessary. It's the Bucs!! Gave them momentum and cost us three. Guy is a good coach and I am not calling for his head but his play calling is sometimes nuts. Offense cost the game. How many turnovers? How many points off the turnovers?
I do expect this to change in the playoffs. Optomistic, but honest.

Buccaneers have the 32nd ranked defense in the NFL.

Coach didn’t fumble away a TD.
I’ll bet you $1 every player would have been foe the call he made to keep momentum going at that time

It looked like the D ran out of steam at the end.

Agree on the FG's. Take the points or just go for it. Even if it would have worked the percentages are much better with the two other options. Thankfully it did not matter in the end. We have the best roadmap to get to the NFC title bout. We did not have our secondary when we met the Vikings either so Theilen won't be looking like white Julio if we face them again.

Yeah that fake FG ticked me off. Lutz looked like a clutz trying to run. Hell he looked like he was 97 and carrying an oxygen tank and smoking.

Nice move, having the kicker who runs about a 5.75 40 try for the first down...
