Saints and Patriots are similar, but Bill Belichick’s infamously shrewd approach is the difference

I agree. SP is known for complicating things, for example the double reverse on 4th down against Tampa in the Superdome a few years ago. Only needed a yard or two and he calls that crap and of course it gets blown up.

Although he has gotten better at doing the right thing, most recently the playoff game against the Eagles when he ran the ball to get in position to kick the GW FG.

True, but there were a couple times this year his stubborness has caused us some trouble. Mainly on fourth down this year, I can't remember us converting on fourth in many crucial situations this year. I just wish he was smarter with the defense like BB. That's always been our downfall with SP, the consistency of our defenses. The offense has been ugly the past two years though as well, so hopefully he relinquishes some control to Pete Carmichael or even Drew Brees. Like in 2011 he didn't call the plays and we set crazy records. His playcalling just hasn't been what it was pre-2011.
