Tell me again how it's so hard to beat a team 3 straight in the NFL?

I mean it’s not hard. Since 1990 13 of 17 teams that swept the regular season have won the third meeting in the playoffs. 5 of 6 in the divisional round or later.

I think it is fair to say that this Bucs team has played better than the two previous encounters. Saints are still the favorites, but we should definitely expect a better showing from Tampa.

if we could just erase some horrible endings to our season lately maybe I'd feel better going into the game.

that said, this could be the year where the Saints turn the tables on the remaining competition.

if 93 and 98 have a good game tomorrow we will win.

I promise you that.

Call my analysis crazy and off base, but when I see that Team A beat Team B twice in one season that usually means Team A is the BETTER TEAM. In professional football, the focus is ramped up x100 in the playoffs as it is a one and done scenario. This isn’t high school or even college where kids may just coast into the game. These are professional athletes. Brees, Jordan, and Davis, etc will not allow our team to go into this game just expecting to win. We have the better team and we should win.

The same reason that our average divisional teams play us close. Teams become very familiar with your personnel and tendencies. Games are often close.
