It's difficult to argue with success.

GW is a coordinator for a team that wins.

I have some negative thoughts on our defense.

Not many are personnel driven.

I can't help but think what Jack Del-Rio would do with our players.........

Beware the unknown...

I know Mitch. I can't help but wonder.

As long as the offense scores 30-plus, it's all good.

If the offense struggles and "only" scores 27..........

That's a "Oh ****!" moment

What's unknown? He played here, coached here. He's been in the league 16 years.
I'd say the only drawback is that he will probably get another HC job in the next 2 years, so he definitely isn't the long term answer.

The way the playoffs are organized is pathetic - IF & I mean IF you must have a division winner - Ok. BUT if that division winner has a record worse than ANY OTHER TEAM IN THE PLAYOFFS - they should NOT get a home game!!

Go more by record & less by division winner

The defense had a very bad day in the Seattle game, and don't think for a minute that GW doesn't know it. My theory is that a lot of it had to do with not knowing who the quarterback for Seattle was going to be, until late Thursday. I think they probably prepared for both Whitehurst and Hasselback, and wasted a lot of time doing that. I puzzled over this one for a while, and if you go back and look at the games where the D looks really bad, and people on forums freak out about it afterward, time and time again -- when the Saints D looks flat or has a bad day, it's usually against a quarterback that the team was not expecting or prepared for, or a guy that there isn't a lot of film on. Titans game, the D barely held it together at the end, when rookie what's-his-face came in instead of Hasselback. The Rams game, was AJ Feeley instead of Bradford....the Cardinals game last year was Max Hall, instead of what's-his-face who started the first half of the season for them....there's more of these games, I just can't remember them all right now.

That Seattle loss was the perfect storm.

Our team was decimated with injury and on top of that they played poorly.

Conversely, the Seahawks had a record day from various positions - most notably, the QB.

The game against Detroit this Saturday is one of two teams going in opposite directions.

Saints all the way.

Marlboro Man

Panthers coach Ron Rivera sent out a warning shot following his team's blowout loss to the Saints in Week 17 for the rest of the playoff teams about what type of challenge the Saints present: "When you put the tape on and watch how they played against Atlanta and watch how they played against us, the first thing that you say to yourself is, 'I hope we don't have to play them.' That's what's going to happen."

I NEVER IN MY LIFE thought I would EVER hear anyone, much less a head coach of another NFL team say something like this about our Saints. I LOVE IT!!!
