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 ...

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.

Wow! Really? You were sitting next to that small group fans that wore the bags. You must have had great seats back in that last part of 1980 and the first few games of 1981. Honestly, I had far, far less confidence in many coaching staffs over the last 55 years myself. At least we have a top five quality defense now. If we had this ten years ago we would have won multiple Lombardi's!
