There has been a lot of speculation on why the Saints have collapsed at the end of the last 2 seasons. Coaches saying it's a lack of stamina from practicing in the heat but considering other teams practice in the same heat like Tampa, (and they did Ok) I don't buy that. Then there's people who want to blame Haslett for leaving Brooks in while he was hurt, which an arguement could be made, however, if Brooks would have pulled it off, the same fans that are screaming about his decesion would be calling for a Haslett statue to be errected in front of the Super Dome.

To me, the injury of Duece and the defense was the reason for the collapse last year, which had nothing to do with the collapse from the year before. So comparing the colapse from one year to the other, I feel is off base. One had nothing do to with the other.

While I think Haslett is blamed too much for the collapse(with everything considered) he is ultimately responsible for everything that happens and he is going to have to get the problem solved this year, no matter what the reason may be.
