I didn't. With a prime Brees, and even a sub-prime Brees, and Sean Payton at the helm, there was always a good chance that we could turn things around.

Fair enough. I was aware enough to realize that what was going on back then with their offense and the way Brees played we were dealing with a special player that we were likely never going to see again. Having 4 years spoiled like that with 7 win seasons when you KNEW the team was capable of so much more was crushing to me. In those years the saints Ds were ranked 31, 28, 32 and 31. Any decent support from the D and they are contenders. THAT sounds like some bad coaching to me.

But I respect you being more disappointed by this years team that had injuries to starters at QB, OL, WR, LB, CB, and RB.

We never had a "starting"- caliber QB this year - and all the other positions are so poorly coached and trained/conditioned, we never had a chance. Many of us saw this coming. Need a totally clean house to even get close to our former glory. With this "Management", that might take a few years.

Our abysmal record and poorly coached performance doesn't suit my narrative either, and unfortunately, I couldn't ignore any of it this season.

But you ignore the injury impact:

What some still miss is that Dennis Allen is a former HC NOT rookie HC.

Standards should be higher.

This is his "2nd chance" & proved why he didn't deserve another HC opportunity. No NFL team in the league was giving him another shot until the Saints.

We played not to lose vs San Fran, couldn't defeat Tampa when it was gifted etc., etc.

He'll get another year … but he shouldn't.

You can't cry over spilt milk when virtually every decision you make is a gamble. It is what it is and as a professional you move on to the next set of decisions. You can learn from prior decisions, but there's nothing at all you can do to change them, so why let them affect you mentally?
