Is Brees definitely retiring? I hadn’t heard that
I think so

And I don’t see the Saints running on them with any level of success. The Bucs have a **** pass defense, mostly because of the scheme, but a stout run D. This game will fall on Brees, his noodle arm, and his 57 injured ribs.
I don’t think they’ll get destroyed but they will have to score over 38 points to win. Off coverage with corners taking outside shade makes zero sense against Brees.Yet toilet bowles will have his corners playing 7 yards off the receiver. No bumping them off their route. If he plays zone 70 percent of the time they will get destroyed. He’s doing brees a favor.
Maybe. But that is also how I thought the Bills would play last night as they have been doing soft zone all year and they came up and challenged Lamar at the line from snap one. I really hope Tampa comes with a similar game plan. With no Hill, the Saints offense is limited with just Brees under center especially in short yardage and red zone.Yet toilet bowles will have his corners playing 7 yards off the receiver.

Two of which came more than a decade ago (2005 and 2009, respectively). Brees has never played Brady in the playoffs either. One of those two has the tendency to come up small in big situations. I’ll let you guess which one that is.Saints scored 34+ points 4 times this year, 2 of them were against the Bucs. Saints have the Bucs number and historically Brees outplays Brady in games against each other. Brees is 5-2 with 3 blowouts in games against Brady.

If we're going to go there, an argument can be made it's a reflection on Bill's game plans against Brees as he routinely shred's the D.One of Brady's wins vs NO was last-second with Kenbrill Tompkins making the only notable reception of his career.
Today’s win will be more notable than that.One of Brady's wins vs NO was last-second with Kenbrill Tompkins making the only notable reception of his career.

Biggest playoff game the league has seen since the 2018 AFCCG. The bigger the moment the bigger Brady plays. The Bucs defense is sneaky good and they’ll surprise tonight IMO.Things that I am worried about if I were both teams:
New Orleans:
-Brees' ability to push the ball downfield.
-loss of Taysom Hill
Tampa:
-The Bucs facing a real team (both offensively and defensively) for the first time since November.
-How will the Bucs respond when they get punched in the mouth?
-soft coverage on the backend
Ian, mentioning that game should be a bannable offenseBiggest playoff game the league has seen since the 2018 AFCCG. The bigger the moment the bigger Brady plays. The Bucs defense is sneaky good and they’ll surprise tonight IMO.
The schedule thing is overplayed imo. Like when the 2010 Pats were dominating good teams, and then the Jets beat them. What got my attention that the Bucs are the team poised to make a run was the comeback against the Falcons. Regardless of record that’s a division opponent and you can’t write those games off.

The only teams it was possible for was the Bills, Fins and Jets. Not exactly a high barWhen is the last time Tom lost to the same team 3 times in a year
