I have been more nervous for this game than I have been in years. I’ve bee struggling all week wondering, doubting, confident, it’s been up and down all week.
It hit me this morning on my 5th cup of coffee. Since 2011 I haven’t expected to be in the Super Bowl so the outcome of the seasons wasn’t that surprising. Even last year the way it ended it wasn’t a shock because I wasn’t confident that we were the best team in the NFC. Fast forward this year and this may be the most balanced team in Saints history and is in my opinion the best team in the NFC and could probably argue the best team in the NFL. Anything less than a Super Bowl birth would be a huge letdown and will only happen if we are out coached or beat ourselves. I’ve heard the window on the Brees era is closing for years now but this is the first year I’m starting to really think we need to line up a replacement. The last time I felt this nervous about a playoff game and this confident about a Super Bowl was 2011.
