I wish to say, as a life long/ franchise Long fan I am as proud of this team than any I can remember, including 09. The closest rivals would be (of course) ‘09, ‘06, ‘00, ‘91, and Oh god yes (was it?) ‘79 when we finally made it to 500! This team just kept slugging it out over unbelievable circumstances yet we still hovered round 500 all year, and made it over the 500 mark. (This is the first year I ever remember with an odd number of games, am i wrong?) I remember when 500 was a feat! Well done Saints! See you next year. Saints 17-0 in ‘23!

I remember a few years back when our offense was so deadly that we only needed and adequate defense to win. Now the tables have turned and we have a great defense we just need an offense who can put 22-25 points per game up. We were 9-3 this year with Jameis or Taysom starting and that’s with a banged up offensive line and no number 1 on the outside. Give me Jameis on the cheap and keep my defense together, fix my guard position and draft me a 1 on the outside and this team can get back to the dance. And as a side note do not let DA leave

Overall, I liked the effort from the coaching staff. If not the best,had to be one of the best coaching jobs in the nfl this year. Need to improve the O line, dump every TE and start from scratch, keep Ingram if possible, defense was tough once again. Maybe shore up d line, although thought they pulled their weight okay. Secondary could use some depth sign a couple our FA’s. LBers are good. Believe Winston deserves a shot. So, for me the future isn’t too bleak.

I was not a Ruiz hater until I looked at some of the film. My GOD is he aweful! He's like a turnstile on a NYC Subway! EVERYONE gets through!

No hate taken. He either gets better or he’ll be replaced.

He was definitely below average at guard.

First we had the Hurricane, then Covid, losing a TON of coaches & went through FOUR quarterbacks yet we still managed to win 9 games?

IMO, we had one of the tougher schedules in the league.

Sean Payton did a hell of a job keeping this team together, and almost pulled off a playoff spot. All of these coaches & trainers hats off to you.

Perspective.

Sean Payton and his entire staff should be Coaches of the Year. The players should all revel in the fact they accomplished way more than they should have and never quit.

Despite what many will say and write about this team, they're just a few pieces away from another title run.

Cap won't be an issue. Find our QB. Fix the O line. Draft well and we're off.

Nine wins with all the injuries and Covid crap showed me that when relatively healthy this team is really good. Having a winning season without Drew shows me this organization is top notch. Most teams after losing a guy like Drew would be instant trash but we got great coaches and personnel to win with a few guys missing. If we didn’t lose a few key guys we’d might have home field. We were that good, if the team was close to whole. Sean Payton is coach of the year in my eyes. I know this team to roll next season.

Better have a damn good back up plan at QB if Jameis signs elsewhere.

Marquee names WILL cost you picks and draft capital.

Based on my readings from Underhill & Duncan, JW & Marcus Williams are 1a, 1b priorities this off season.

I was really hoping Hill was going to ball out when he got his chance but the truth is unless Paytons game plan with him just about like the Ravens do with Jackson he shouldn't be behind center. Even if Payton does play Raven type ball Hill want hold up taking all those shots. The other thing I think want be good, Hill isn't as accurate as Jackson on any part of the field. I got to see if he was up for the task and as much as I hate to admit I was wrong, Hill at best is a career back-up at best and from watching his decision making, pocket presents and accuracy he would be a #3 or #4 at best. Any other team he wouldn't be considered a starting caliber qb. I do think he would make a really good TE with his physical play, and if we would need a hard yard he could be the man.
