The New Orleans Saints on Sunday loss to Tampa Bay 31-24 ended the Saints regular season on a sour note. The loss still allowed the Saints to win their division because of Carolina's loss. They are now scheduled to play Carolina next week to kick off the NFL's playoff series. This writer believes the Saints are an over rated team and that their early eight game winning streak was misleading.
The Saints will now have to beat Carolina for the third time this season to advance in the playoffs which should tell everyone how terrible the NFL playoff system is set up. No team should have to do that. All who read PolitiDose knows this writer thinks the playoff system is a fraud and a sham and that only those teams who win a division title should participate in the playoffs.
This NFL season, only 17 of the 32 teams have a winning record and there are too many bad teams with bad coaches. Thirty two teams are too many and the college draft has not brought parity to the league like it was predicted. And it never will because expansion means dilution and less competition.
As for the Saints-Carolina playoff game this coming week end, lit is a game that should never be played.
