What concerns me is that you watched us play CAR times this season.

BTW NE may be a playoff team right now but they were sucking arse when we lost to them.

Much to so about nothing.

I'll try to find it but I saw a post on twitter that showed the strength of schedule numbers and the SAINTS had the highest (read: toughest) of all the playoff teams.

Yep, our last playoff loss to San Fran...

Giveaways - 5
Takeaways - 1

I doubt there's a team in NFL history that won a playoff game with 5 turnovers.

The number of players on IR is reason for concern. And I believe only three of those losses came under Paytons watch.

And we were one d hold from doing it. God that **** stings to this day. Almost sick about it

Win turnover ratio and hold McCoy below 100 yards. Win.

Realization of concerns? A Jedi craves not these things.

Hopefully we have learned our lesson on closing a game on both sides of the ball

Yeah, this isn't the NBA...
