The official ***** and moan thread

A very good season with Payton back.

Massive improvement on defense under Ryan. We really have something to build on!

Our downfall was losing to Jets and Rams and not winning the NFC South title securing #2 seed and home field for the playoffs. Never should have lost to those teams. 2013 Saints are good but not good enough to get to the Super bowl playing on the road.

Seattle is a very good team. They beat us. Congrats to them. We needed to play our best game of the year to win and we didn't.

One gripe...we call too many screen passes. We killed a number of drives in the Seattle game with failed screen passes. The screen is a deception play. You don't deceive anyone when you are predictable.

We have probably two, max three more years to win another Super Bowl in the Brees era. It can be done! Who Dat?!

Why do you (and some others) continue to say that?

Cause he's 34. In three years he'll be 37. That's pretty old for a football player.

I hope he'll be around longer but who knows.

Manning and Brady are 36, 37, and they look to have a few more years left easily.

Does Brees age faster than those two?

Personally, I think with Drew's training regimine, will be able to play longer than Farve did, if he wants to.

But you can't really blame anyone for assuming a 37 year old QB would retire when his contract is up.

Well, not if you don't give him enough protection.

Very true. And I'd even take it another step and say how whole team is playing will be a factor as well. If he's 37 on a Super Bowl caliber team, that's gonna factor in his decision to come back as well.
