I heard Bobby Hebert on the Point After show mention that the Saints are the first team in NFL history to win 49 games in a 4 year span not to make it to a Super Bowl.

Unfortunate & deflating stat.

If there's one thing I've learned to accept about the Saints, it's that we are great at setting all the wrong records.

To sum it up … under performed.

I saw that stat from Elias Sports immediately after the loss. It is/was brutal. It was almost as if they were waiting, expecting it.

I'd much prefer to consistently lose 49 games and have no shot at even a winning season!!! If we try just a little less we can become the old Aints!! Those were the good old days!!! I'm sure there is a Billy Joe Joe Billy playing QB for Discotech!!

I was thinking the Bills, but yeah at least those teams were getting to the bowl.

Saints are definitely in a drought when it comes to post season. I think we all expected to be headed to GB this weekend and a trip to the SB on the line … especially with the roster assembled.

Honestly I thought last year's team was good enough. The playoffs are a beast. Kicking FG's in the red zone, turning over the ball (4) & not executing on 3rd down is a recipe for an L.

To be brutally honest. When we didn’t score a TD on the first drive after Harris’ punt return, I had a gut feeling that we would be in trouble on offense. The play calling said that there was no way to fit passes in a tight window which is why Hill was featured so much in goal to go situations all year.

Yep I said the same in the chat, the second we couldn't convert on a huge play from Harris, it was immediately apparent it was the same old playoff Saints.
