How I feel.
 

I hope the Saints beat Tampa this weekend.
I hope the revenge against the Rams is twice as sweet.
I hope to see Drew Brees shake Goodell’s hand as he hands him the Lombardi.
I hope.

Well, I feel apprehensive yet optimistic. :cool:

Re: How I feel.
 

I’m almost more anxious about the Rams-Packers game than I am our own.

Re: How I feel.
 

Tampa will be the toughest test for us. Our D can handle the Rams and our running game and defense are perfect for going into Lambeau and getting a win.
Honestly if we beat Tampa I’m happy.

I want a re-match with KC!

Re: How I feel.
 

I'm pretty worried about this upcoming Tampa game admittedly. Payton seems to do some stupid stuff in the playoffs and has some wtf playcalling moments.

Not to mention that every recent playoff exit, the offense had started slow, exactly like we did last week to a bad Bears team.

Re: How I feel.
 

KC is so overrated. They barely beat us when our Qb was beat to hell and we had zero receivers. We could handle them easily.

Re: How I feel.
 

That's why I want the rematch!

Re: How I feel.
 

I feel the same as leading up to he Bears game. Our O line needs to hold up and our D line needs to affect the QB.

And I don't see that changing the rest of the playoffs.

Re: How I feel.
 

Hopefully T Rex plays this weekend, Brady like many QBs are uncomfortable with pressure...and Hendrickson has a different motor. I would venture to say, without him will make this weekends game a very tall order. Yeah, I know we are good on the d line, but we are not as good, as when he is in the game.

Re: How I feel.
 

And yet only Belichick and Harbaugh have higher playoff win percentages amongst active head coaches with over 5 post season games under their belt.

Sean Payton's WTF play calling is why we won a Superbowl in 2009.

Re: How I feel.
 

Completely get that, but the way we've exited the playoffs year after year has been horrendous. Putting Taysom in there to pass is an absolute no go in my opinion, Drew needs a rhythm.

Re: How I feel.
 

Bringing two statements together - play-calling + Taysom throwing - Payton's deep shot call against Chicago was nearly flawless and a likely TD had Taysom thrown it a 1/2 second earlier.

There's no reason we shouldn't use Taysom in the right situations.

Re: How I feel.
 

I hope you're right on all accounts

Re: How I feel.
 

In that instance, I must say I didn't mind the playcall, my issue is Payton putting a guy in there that won't pull the trigger. This isn't the first time Taysom took too long to diagnose a play and I think the more he's in the game like that, the more it'll hold us back.

Re: How I feel.
 

Anticipation. Throwing receivers open.

At age 31, I don't think Taysom will ever get to that point. Not mad at Taysom, we won but this is a glaring weakness.

More importantly, gotta stop fumbling the football.
