QB, plain and simple. Hebert was fine for the regular season but choked like a dog in playoff games. We always had 2-3 good RB's, several good WR's and a nice offensive line. We had a great defense and the best kicker in the NFL. And Mora was a darn good coach. Hebert just wasn't a big-game player and it hurt us continually in the postseason.

I also think there was a lot of pressure to be the first Saints team to get that far and that had an effect. But what was it, 1992, we were up big on the Eagles, everything was going great, and Hebert comes out the 2nd half and throws 3 picks.

OC Carl Smith was also bad, but 3 yards and a cloud of dust was kind of the norm those days. We played old-school smashmouth football like most teams did at the time.

People will also say we were just unlucky to be in the same division as the 49ers, but that doesn't explain total choke jobs against the Bears and Vikings in games where we just got throttled. IMO, it just all comes back to the fact that we were not good enough at the QB position. Other teams had Marino, Kelly, Moon, Cunningham, Elway, etc. We had Bobby Hebert. Big drop-off there.
