"No. 1: Can't beat a team three times in a season? Says who? Since the AFL-NFL merger, teams that beat an opponent twice in the regular season are 13-7 in a third meeting in the playoffs."

If we play like we did against Tampa we will not win.

Hopefully that was the wake up call.

D allowed too many 3rd down conversions

Offense stalled multiple times, couldn't convert third downs and got 10 points from 3 turnovers.

Yea the team yesterday couldn’t beat the Browns. We lost to a team with 4 wins. Doesn’t matter how close the games were when they played Carolina and Atlanta, they were still a 4 win team. Good teams beat teams with records like that. We haven’t won a single game against any of the teams in the playoffs except the Panties. You have to beat playoff teams to get anywhere once you get to the playoffs.

Just like New England beat Miami in the second meeting?

ooops...

Nonsense. We played poorly. Tampa made some plays. It happens, and if you think Tampa has 4 win talent on that team I'm sorry to say, you're wrong.

The talk before the game was whether or not we could survive the injuries. We've been hit hard. It is what it is, but man, you're going WAY over the top. We all wanted to win, but yours isn't exactly the voice of reason right now.

Take a pill.

Saints beat 3 teams that made it to the playoffs: failclowns, kittens and Bills.

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.

Of course we aren't the same team. We are better. EVERY team in the NFL has lost a number of players to the IR list. Some have had more critical hits than the Saints. Both the Vikings and the Eagles have lost their starting QB's. The Vikings also lost their best RB. Carolina has placed FIVE WR's and two TE's on IR this season. The Falcons just lost a starting guard to IR this week.
