Tomorrow is a must win

[*FreeFua*]

If we lose tomorrow we’d have to sweep the Bucs in order to get into the playoffs. With a loss tomorrow the Bucs would then hold the tie breaker if we finished tied

If we can’t split with NO then we sure as hell not sweeping Tampa

It’s win or go home tomorrow in my eyes 

Biggest game since 2017 playoff game imo

The difference is Rico and Chubba are full strength.  Last time we were splitting carries and we should have been riding Rico.  This time I believe Chubba and Rico both will have solid games.

With a win our playoff odds go from 47% to 62%. A loss would drop them to 24%. So yeah, pretty close to a must win game.

[AggieLean]

Agreed. 
 

Highly unlikely we sweep Tampa. They need to take care of business tomorrow. I’m excited. Some questions will be answered tomorrow.

Not only do we win the division if we win our next two games, we eliminate the Bucs and send them home if we win our next two. It's always nice sending a division rival packing. We have to do this.

We didn't split carries with Rico and Chuba. Rick got 18 out of 21 RB carries. 

Bryce / others didn't execute to force the Saints off the LoS and we couldn't move the ball as a result.

I don't think Horn slips twice so I suspect we win a close game

If they come out doing the same thing, only hoping to execute it better, or whatever nonsense, it will be another loss.

Our offensive line has been nothing but a mash unit that its parts being constantly rotated all season long. 

This doesn't get discussed much when the discussion is any individual offensive performances,  which is crazy.  As the play of the line is the most important,  especially if the rest of the offense is to execute consistently. 

The saints game, the offensive line didn't play well at all. 

This game, the offensive line must perform better.

Agree. And that is another factor in why we play the ground and pound. Easier to work with run blocking than pass blocking with no continuity on an OL. 
Things mostly worked out and we got a couple of ugly wins in weeks where we threw a patchwork OL out there. 
And agree they failed vs NO.  It is a legit worry. Or concern.

For once I am glad for the late start game.  I have too much stuff to do to be watching at 1 pm.

2 wins.  All we need is 2 wins.  This week and next.  That’s it.  Accomplish that feat and you win the NFCS.
