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.

With a healthy Drew Brees we beat Tampa and lose to GB in the NFC Championship game. Mahomes wins his 2nd title.

That headline screams click bait. The very premise that the people that got you there are also the reason you failed is absurd.

Probably. He admitted he only felt good for one game.

Exactly! Thus the ridiculousness that Sean Payton is to blame for the Saints not winning more championships. Without Payton the Saints would have mostly likely wallowed near the bottom of the NFC South for the past 15 years and not even been in the conversation when it came to the playoffs.
