Know it happen to the Saints where we lost to the ATL in playoffs...
In 2017 some pundits were claiming this when we were to face Carolina in the Wild Card round after sweeping them during the regular season. We beat them 31-26 to make it three for three.

The only time we have faced the Falcons in the playoffs was 1991. We split during the regular season and they beat us in the Wild Card. We also faced the Rams in 2000 Wild Card after splitting with them in the regular season. That was our first playoff win.

I think this is one of those scenarios where the wheels totally come off for Tampa after playing us. I can see a big losing streak coming up for them kind of like when we beat the 8-0 Falcons a couple years back. Didn’t they lose out the rest of the year?

That's right, we lost in the Superdome in Overtime during the regular season, I'd left the game early with a date...

I was in the Dome for the 2000 "Hakim Dropped The Ball!!" play. What a day - I remember seeing Buddy D live before the game. Those were the days in New Orleans.

Dude, they have this quarterback named Tom Brady; check out his numbers after he lays up a turd, and if you look at his worst games in his career, he won the Superbowl that season...

Don't ever count out Tom Brady...

The disrespect for the New Orleans Saints is real. Fine by me, we'll just fly low and give teams an L.

But its simple, the national media has a hard on for Tom Brady.
