Next, allow me to redirect your attention to the 1998 Broncos. They went on a 13 game winning streak, only to drop back-to-back games to the 5-8 Giants and then to a solid Dolphins team. They won their last game of the season against the Seahawks. Oh, and you know what else they won that year? The Super Bowl.

Here's another team the Saints wouldn't mind being mentioned in the same sentence as: The 2006 Indianapolis Colts. They went on a 9 game winning streak and lost four of their last seven. Among them, a week 15 loss against the 4-10 Houston Texans...a crappy division rival...and they loss by 3 points. Sound familiar? That also just so happens to be the same year they won a Super Bowl.The point is, neither science nor superstition can sway the outcome of an NFL season. Home field advantage doesn't win playoff games neither does a team's record in the final four weeks of the regular season. As any Patriots fan will tell you, something as outlandish as a guy catching a ball with his helmet can determine a Super Bowl champion, perfect season be damned.

Sure the Saints didn't give their all on Sunday but they've given us a heck of a season thus far and losing to the Bucs isn't exactly the equivalent of dropping the first game of the playoffs. Charles Grant was right to be ticked off with Saints "fans" who booed them as the team headed into the tunnel after the game. Two back to back losses and suddenly we treat the man we were just calling "Breesus" like he's the second coming of Rex Grossman. That's ridiculous. I mean who are we, Eagles fans?

So Saints fans, I implore you to stop obsessively changing jerseys every quarter. And please all you new moms, do not attempt to stuff your newborn back into your birth canal. If you want to believe in something supernatural as it relates to your team, believe in destiny. Cheer them on with all your heart, believe that they'll learn from their mistakes, and then leave it up to the football gods to sort out the rest.
