Yes, with a healthy Brees, the Saints would have made it to the Super Bowl and would have beaten the Chiefs.

I think we would have killed the Chiefs. We came very close to beating them when just about every starter on our roster was banged up fairly significantly. It was Drew’s first game back and he obviously wasn’t ready. A healthy Drew and we would have beaten them fairly easily. If some of our other starters were healthier I think we beat them even with Drew playing the way he did.

At the end of the day, it's all SP's fault, and for a number of different reasons, not the least of which is knowing the rule book as good as BB.

Yeah. Blame everything on Payton. The players had nothing to do with it. They shouldn't have gotten injured, but it was Payton that got them injured. It was also 100% Payton's fault that those three refs all missed that play in the Rams game.

Hence the rule book reference... if he knows it like BB, those miracle plays don't even exist. The clock runs out.
