Once the season started, we sort of put it out of our minds. But that's how it goes sometimes. How much the Bucs might have learned from their playoff loss that would help them Monday night is uncertain. The Rams still leave teams awestruck with their passing game led by Warner and a 4x100-meter relay team of receivers. But in the NFC Championship game, the Bucs intercepted Warner three times and held Faulk to 44 yards on 17 carries.
Last year is a different year.
I don't think you can look at last year's game and say because this happened, then this year, X is going to happen. We're going to have to go out there and play. So, it should be a fun game, and hopefully, we'll come out on top. I think it's going to be a mind-set game and a test of wills. They're going to try to come in and impose their style on us and turn it into a frantic type of game, and we're going to try to impose our style on them.
