All I can say is that the Saints usually like to keep wins close. That's not a good thing under these review rules. You better be winning pretty convincingly with these review rules.

Great Point!

There are some things that Payton has failed to realize, even with HOF Brees as his quarterback, and that's that long before they arrived, this team nearly always got screwed in close games...

I believe it's true that margin of victory in the NFL is a lot closer now than it was 20-30 years ago. I don't have stats to prove this, but it seems that in the last several years, most games by the week will be determined by 10 or less points. There are still blow outs, but they don't seem to be as common as they were a long time ago.

Ever since the NFL realigned the divisions, it's led to more 9-7 type teams making the playoffs, but also increased the number of 1-15 and 2-14 type dumpster fire teams. These teams usually will have a number of close games they could've won. The 0-16 Lions and Browns both had at least 4 games decided by 7 points or less that were winnable (Cleveland lost 6 close games in their 0-16 season).
