The last 4 playoff games we've lost, we should have won

Vrillon82 · 01-24-2021, 08:54 PM

each 4 playoff exits the offense struggled along with the defense at some point.

2017 (Allowed Vikings to score more than they ever should on Offense, proceeded to not doing anything on offense the following week vs Philly)

2018 (Allowed Rams score 26 pts while only putting up 23, Regular season they scored 40+ on same team, following game being the SB the Rams only mustered 3 pts)

2019 (Allowed Vikings to over achieve in a game) Plain and simple. Only scored 10 pts the next week vs 49ers.

2020 (Only score 20 pts after scoring 35+ in previous 2 games and then allowed them to score 30 and turn ball over 4 times), next week was far different this time around, but we know KC is going to beat TB.

Having Survive Covid put this silly game in a new light for me.

Enjoy wallowing in "YOUR" misery, don't for get to rub a little extra salt in all those wounds!!! Let it burn every second make your "off season" a pit of despair.

You think any one of those players you fawn over ever worry "Gee, VP had Covid and we lost a playoff game" my off season" is going to be HELL!!!

This team and their post seson losses are exhausting. There isn't any logic as to why they go flat in the playoffs. The failures of the last four years makes me wonder if we will ever see another Super Bowl appearance under Payton.

That’s one way to look at things..., another way to look at things is bouncing off the idea that DB#9 starting has actually been more of a negative than a positive. If you believe in that philosophy, then look at the success (not championship level obviously) the Saints have had, in spite of a weakened, oft injured, Drew Brees.

Putting a healthy QB in, that can run the entire playbook, might be all it takes to challenge at the next level, for a long period of time.

I'm ready to see a SP led Saints team in a post Brees era. It's time.

When you see how teams beat you the same way every post season, I say it has been a negative.

Whats happened is is at one point Brees carried the Saints, but theirs been no team successfully carry Brees because the problem is the QB position outweighs all. Few times in NFL history has a team over come a bad QB in order to win a SB. Not to say Brees is a bad QB, but hes been less than stellar the last 3 years.
