We abandoned the run while it was working.
Not forgivable.
Sean Payton needs a reality check, and last year sitting out was no help or reflection on him. He had nothing to lose this year and had an excuse if we fell flat.

We've been living in mediocrity since the Super Bowl win, which we are fortunate to have.

On to next year.

Maybe we can manage to win this Division and not back into the playoffs.

The Saints are 42-22 for a .656 winning percentage since winning the Super Bowl. Just my opinion but that's LONG way from mediocrity. I would guess there's only a couple teams that have a better record over that period.

We have been on average the third best team in the NFC playoffs the last five years. Its just we were the farthest sb winner so the disrespect factor is high along with the fact that of all the elite contenders we're the ones with the least rings.
