We’ve been making all kinds of history this season. Why stop now.

There's been no team in the SB since 2012 that wasn't a #1 or #2 seed. This is why the Saints will break the streak this year.

If someone has a problem with us being the #3 seed, they can take it up with the Lions and Seahawks.

I understand where you're coming from, but we should've never lost to Cantlanta. They need to use that as motivation.

I sure hope we play Baltimore in Feburary.

Re: Only one #3 seed has won SB since 1990
 

And the Saints, who are not blameless in this. All they had to do was keep the Niners to 45 points. The team is one CGJ tackle from a #1 seed.

I cant put all the blame on cgj. It takes a man of demario’s stature to bring kittle down and you still have to hope he goes down. That seattle game some of them boys had solid form on him and he still mack trucked em’. And cgj is a good open field tackler too but kittle is gronk 2.0

It's so hard to believe that 13-3 gave us home field advantage and a Lombardi. Now 13-3 has us in a wild card game. It just boggles the mind.:bugeyes:

Re: Only one #3 seed has won SB since 1990
 

I wasn't blaming CJG. Just observing that if he could have made the tackle, then we would have had a chance in the game.

Lesson learned. Double Kittle on critical plays and have 2 people available to bring him down.

This 3 seed though is different. We missed the bye by inches last night. I guess my point is we are probably one of the best 3 seeds since 1990 if not the best. We have the same record as these bye teams. Just lost the wrong games.

I'm not wishing for that lol

Shoulda, coulda, woulda doesn't stop us from making it to the SB. It's what we do starting Sunday.

Re: Only one #3 seed has won SB since 1990
 

Actually, that was the Colts in 2006.

Re: Only one #3 seed has won SB since 1990
 

Thanks. I have no idea why I put The Bengals

Guys. The season is over, the record is what it is and is accurate, we are the best team in the league just a little inconsistent at times.

Let’s bust the Vikings in the ****ing mouth.

Re: Only one #3 seed has won SB since 1990
 

No teams had ever won a Super Bowl after losing their last three games either until 09.
This team is better built for road playoff games than any other games in the past.

Of the 3 games we lost this year 2 were at home.
I don’t count the Rams game because of the injury to Brees. Otherwise we would have won that game.
Would have liked the bye but don’t mind going on the road.
I think Seattle takes SF to the woodshed in the playoffs which would put the NFCCG back in the dome if we can handle business as we should against Minny and GB.
I have a good feeling about this.
Stats like this are Bobby Hebert stats. He loves this kind of ****.

I have a season long list of "could haves".... But yes, DA needs to craft a better game plan.

Re: Only one #3 seed has won SB since 1990
 

How many 3 seeds had a 13-3 record?
