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.
