The Saints lost because...

Pick one

I can't pick one:
Kamara is garbage now let him walk in free agency if he wants more than 5m which he will.
The OL played terrible.
Lutz mr reliable missed a make-able fg.
2 drew turnovers.

I don’t disagree with any of that, but this was in the cards.

Team loss; everything on that list contributed.

The TE not set that took away the fake punt conversion.

Kimara not set that cost the Saints 10 seconds before OT

Brees and Lutz.

They've been great all season but Brees cracks in the playoffs and his 2 turnovers destroyed our momentum.

D played okay, they couldn't really get pressure on Cousins which was annoying and Marcus Williams was late on the big completion to Theilen. Which is the norm for him.

I'll add one, no decent #2 receiver.

Whole team and coaching

Vikings outplayed us on the offensive and defensive lines for 3 quarters
Valliant comeback but that costly fumble on the 20 and driving with 4 minutes left was the game

Lattimore self destructing didn’t help

I disagree.
TE Jared Cook has been lights out...... sits on the sidelines until late 4th quarter?

Why?
