With regards to injuries, the best teams overcome them, and the Saints did during regular season...

Based on the last four post-seasons, it seems to be more of a post-season mental block that starts at the top of the organization...

Could be JP. But I think you are dismissing the injury factor when it comes down to playoff teams. I’m not going to beat the dead horse again about how healthy Tampa was on O bs how banged up the Saints were. If you want to pigeonhole that as Us not being able to throw a long ball then good for you. But if you don’t think that most of the reason we lost to the SB champs after beating them twice in the regular season was because they were healthier than we were I simply disagree.
