Saints front office needs to take notes from the 49ers loss:
Simply put, if you have a QB who can't make passes and your playcalling is one dimensional, it doesn't matter how strong your D is, or how much talent you have on Offense. You won't score points!

Seems like a Captain Obvious statement, but the point bears repeating.

Perhaps OUR playcalling was somewhat one dimensional BECAUSE the QB couldn't make the passes.

You're basically describing Drew Brees' last couple of years ...

This is true.

If the Saints front office had been taking notes, a season like the one we just had (and possibly a few more) would not have happened.

I watched the Eagles game with my good friend from Philadelphia. I don't watch football anymore but I forgot just how much fun the playoffs can be. I was secretly pulling for San Francisco. Yes, I know they used to beat us up. That was then and this is now. They are not the same team and neither are we. Unfortunately, "the neither are we" is just sad.

REALLY sad. I guess part of my (hopefully) becoming more mature, is that I can remain a SAINTS FAN FOREVER, but still (finally) enjoy watching better managed teams in the playoffs. It's still sad, but I can at least enjoy watching THE GAME being played by admittedly better prepared teams... to some degree.

Sinner, I can see it's been tough on you watching the team underperform this year. Before Sean Payton

came on board I was sitting next to people with bags on their heads. We went on to win a Super Bowl in Grand Style! I believe we can get there again with the current ownership and front office. I have no faith in this coaching staff anymore.

On another note, the Chiefs crowd was louder than ever and definitely helped in big moments. This notion of making the conf. champions neutral field games would absolutely ruin the spirit of the playoffs.
