I think its just logical.
Probably 3/4 of the NFL teams are good enough to beat you on any given day, so beating a "decent" NFL team 3 times in the same year is like winning a coin toss 3 times in a row. |

I agree though. But there are things you can do to tip the odds in your favor. Or you can flip them in the other direction, like with ill-timed otherwise unnecessary fake FGs. |

After landing on heads two times in a row, the odds of landing on heads a third time are still 50-50.

Rams: Lattimore and Crawley didn't play at all. 4. Falcons: Brees put a winnable game in jeopardy with a stupid throw in the red zone. The team out on the field this upcoming Sunday is different, and better, than the team we fielded even a month ago. I really think Dude is simply steeling himself for the case that the Saints do not win the SB. Of course each and every team that makes the playoffs wins the SB each season. NOT! I really think more of us here need to be like Buffalo Bills fans: don't worry about the outcome, just enjoy the fact that you get a chance to take the ride. SFIAH |

We've lost 18 players to IR. We aren't even the same team. We will be beyond lucky to make the NFC Championship game.
