Bucs vs Saints (NFC Semis)

[MJAlltheWay24]

Who wins?  Thoughts on the game?

Drew Brees vs Tom Brady.  I hope Drew Brees gets the best of the Bucs but I got a feeling that Tampa Bay pulls this out.

Can't wait to watch this one.

Personally I think the Bucs have more overall talent.  But Sean Payton is a much better coach so I give them the slight edge in this game.  But man I wish the Saints could have a packed house for this one.

If the Bucs take this one, do you think it's the last game for Brees?

A few weeks ago it was rumored to be Brees's last season.

The Saints dominated both matchups against the Bucs with the ability to apply pressure on Brady. The Bucs have been on a tear of late, but they've also benefited from probably the easiest NFL schedule on their current winning streak. The best team they've beaten on this streak was last week against the 7-9 Washington Football Team or the Minnesota Vikings (a game they should have lost). They always say "it is tough to beat a team three times in a season," though history shows the win % is only 33% for teams who were swept during the regular season.

I think Brees will retire no matter the outcome from here on out.

Sounds like he has a job lined up commentating games.

I want to see the Bucs win, I like Brady and I like him more playing for the Bucs.

@swamprat what are you thinking?

Just because the Bolts won the Stanley Cup and the Rays made it to the World Series, I would love to see the Bucs be the first team to play in a Super Bowl in their home stadium. It would be fantastic to see them win it, too. Tampa Bay would then match LA who won the World Series and the NBA Championship.

Sorry , Big Guy, but I have not watched a single NFL game all season. Just for grins, before I responded to your post, I did watch the highlights of the regular season games against NOLA. The Saints are a bad matchup for the Bucs.

Having said all that, since I'm not that excited about the game and I won't be watching it, they will probably win. 🙂
