We had a great core of LB's in the Dome Patrol and a great Offensive Line and what did we accomplish? No playoff wins and just one division title. That bothers me honestly, becuase we had perhaps a good team but stuck in the time frame of being in the wrong place at the wrong time. If anyone remembers the great Niners teams of the 80's and 90's, you remember greatness in Montana and Young and the 5 SB titles they won and yes I think they stopped us from being a better team, I really do. If we had been in the Central Division at the time, we would have accomplished more I think, and perhaps its bitterness and a regret that we have to reflect on it now because very little has changed. We are still in a tough division and nothing ever comes easy for the Saints if ever.

but think about it if you could, if the Saints had been in another division and not in the same division as San Fran, would we have accomplished more?

In that I mean playoff wins and perhaps a SB title or two, we had a great defense just not great timing I think, and we played some teams like the Rams and the Niners that were great and made winning tough and perhaps more difficult then lets say the Philadelphia Eagles of the same time era.
They didn't win all those Super Bowls accidentally. They were like the Steelers in the 70's, complete teams that were well coached.
