Nope, its me, I guess the time off helped... Am I making sense now?

But when could you????

I can hardly believe we agree on something!  Break out the calendar.  
Gee, now I'm scared...

EXACTLY!!  Look at their non existant SB record.  You cant say
I'm biased because the Giants have been on both sides of this fence. 
There was a thread at the beginning of this season where I argued
that the SB is THE GAME.  It determines the best team.  I dont care if your 
team goes 16-0 during regular season.  If ya cant win the bowl, ya dont get 
the ring!  Go sit on the porch and watch the re-runs 50,0000000000 time til 
YOU GET IT!

Dont put words in my mouth, but I will say MAYBE.. Heres the logic.  Lets 
take the Saints. (since the falcons arent worth my time typing)
I dont know how the first saints/9er game went, but if the 9ers won 
clearly and decisively during that game, then the Saints DID learn by 
their early mistakes and lost the game due to bad play calling/clock 
management during the last quarter or drive.
    
If the saints lost during the 4th quarter near the final drive in their 
fist meet with 9ers, then I'd say the SHOULD have learned by their 
mistakes, and will be a better team if they learn to do so.

This one can be your own personal flood-gate.   Cant touch this....
