Regular season Saints are always better than playoff season Saints...

Every year stands on it's own.

True Dat! Dat and the referees play a big part too unfortunately.

All those that say “just don’t let it close and let the refs decide it”
Don’t realize that’s a hell of a lot tougher than it sounds; Especially in the playoffs. Both teams made unforced errors in that game as they do in every game. If the refs let one team get away with more holds, PI, etc in a game then that team is likely going to win more often than not.

Look at the Minn Miracle. That game was lost by the D. The Rams game was a gift to Them from the refs.

When you let lesser opponents hang around, bad things happen. Punch em in the throat and play to your skill level, not theirs. Don't leave it to the zebras. Yeah we have been on the bad side of several calls, but at the end of the day, had we played to our skill level, then most of the BS would have been a moot point.

Punch them in the throat...and get tossed like Jordan did against KC. You are making the mistake in thinking the Saints are/were the superior opponent and were/are capable of manhandling other playoff teams despite being handicapped by refs. I guarantee if the calls go against them again then they lose. That’s why there hasbeen only one undefeated team ever. NO TEAM EVER was capable of doing what you ask. The difference between winning and losing is too razor thin at this level.

I'm pretty sure that he meant for us to mentally punch them in the throat but to actually kick their ass up and down the field.
