Packers are in similar boat with Saints
 

Another year they get very close to their second Super Bowl with a future HOF QB and another year they can’t get over the hump. It just ain’t easy.

Difference is GB didn't have their QB try to hide an injury for a year.

That's the bit that annoys me, everyone knows what Brees has done for us. But if you are playing him when he can barely make a 10 yard pass, then it's just selfish.

That made this hurt even more. If we had just a little more on offense we would be in our 2nd SuperBowl.

This one is going to hurt for awhile especially if we end up having to gut this team.

I think people are piling on Brees too much. If Cook doesn’t fumble I feel they win that game. If Hill was healthy and Harris didn’t get hurt I feel they win that game. Sure Brees is at the end, but The team could have won it all with him this year.

Let's also not forget the TD punt return taken for block in the back.

Having a QB that can't throw deep anymore is not a recipe for winning football games.

Barely complete a 10 yard pass is highly overstating it.

Look at the GB loss. They couldn’t push the ball downfield against Tampa when it counted any better than the Saints did. Has Rogers lost his arm strength too ?

Fair enough, but having one who can doesn’t ensure success either.
