The way we played Tampa

arsaint · 01-01-2018, 03:41 PM

Dude remember 2009 though.

We lost in a similar crappy fashion to Tampa (missed easy FG) and that was in the Superdome.

This is like the powerball - you have to buy a ticket to have a chance to win. We have a ticket and a 1 in 6 chance of making the Superbowl.

I agree 110% that if they play that bad in the playoffs they will be out quickly, but let's hope the sense of urgency and the fact everyone able to strap up will be in there fighting will help.

I too see many areas of concern - I don't feel the confidence of 2009 or 2011, but we're playing with house money now.

Nobody picked this team to do more than pick their noses and they are division champs and should win at least one playoff game - and with a little luck and some good bounces, 3 more...

As bad as the Saints played, in the overall grand scheme of things, very insignificant. Still won division, has 4th slot instead of 3rd. Had this game cost a division title, then it may have gone down in history as a major choke job.

Everybody remembers the Bucs won the Super Bowl. Smothering defense, Chuckie, Dominating the Raiders...

Nobody remembers the Saints swept them that year.

I didn't think a more stupid post was possible after your 'Payton should bow out and concede the division title' thread; congratulations!

If you truly believe that anyone will give a fat rat's a$$ that the Saints lost to the Bucs before winning the Super Bowl then you need to be institutionalized!

Saints lost to three teams in 2009, Dallas, Tampa & Carolina, none of which made it to the playoffs; does that Super Bowl deserve an asterisk as well?

No that one has an * by it because “the league gave it to us because of Katrina “
