The Decline and Fall of Payton’s Empire, or How the Culture of Gregg Williams Ruined the Saints

Actually, 'decline' suggests a gradual degrade in strength...

i.e. 'This thing is going down hill'

Whereas, 'fall' suggests a rapid, acute, punctuated degrade...

i.e. 'This thing just went off the cliff'

Rollercoaster.

That's how I'd characterize 2014.

Another "effort" like we saw vs Carolina and not only is the season over but....
