Break out those sacks, New Orleans NFL fans, because THE 'AINTS ARE BACK. And if you don't believe it, read on ...
* The Bucs opened the season at home against a Tennessee team that finished last season with 10 straight losses, and they were buried 42-14 by the Titans. But the Bucs dominated the 'AINTS in the Superdome.
* The Bucs outscored, outrushed, outpassed and outtackled the 'AINTS. And even though the Bucs are always one of the most-penalized teams, the Bucs were assessed 90 yards in penalties while the 'AINTS lost 115 yards via penalties.
* The turnover-prone 'AINTS yielded points each time they turned the ball over, but couldn't score when the Bucs turned the ball over.
* 'AINTS quarterback Drew Brees had a QB rating of 80.5 for the game, while Bucs' rookie quarterback -- a big opening-game bust against the Titans -- had a 114.6 rating.
* The 'AINTS are already in the NFC South cellar. Obviously, it's early, but the 'AINTS already are two games back of Carolina and Atlanta and one (plus a head-to-head tiebreaker) behind the Bucs. And statistics indicate that teams that start 0-2 have only an 11 percent chance of being a playoff team.
Again, they couldn't beat Jameis Winston and the Bucs in the Superdome. Is there any doubt that THE 'AINTS ARE BACK?
