Observations from yet another Saints early exit in the playoffs

dizzle88 · 01-18-2021, 02:44 PM

When year after year, we exit the playoffs in the exact same fashion, questions need to be asked.

Was it Brees' inability to push the ball downfield, or is Payton getting outcoached in the playoffs?

Considering in 2018 we almost lost to the Eagles, the only reason we won is because Jeffrey popped an easy pass in the air.

Last week vs Chicago, we were 1 dropped TD away from going into the half losing.

This team has no fire in the playoffs, they just all look lethargic, like they don't care.

The offense looks boring as hell. Only time you see energy is on a trick play or when Hill comes in.

I love Brees and I truly appreciate all the things he has done for the team, state, and fans in general but he has brought this offense to a crawl. There is only so much you can do within 5-10 yard of the line of scrimmage.

I’m actually excited to see what SP can do if we open the offense up.

I think past playoff experiences haunt them. Some how this stigma has to be washed away. I think it will take a new group
