USA Today/Saints Wire: Ex-Saints wide receiver Brandon Marshall: 'Their window is closed'

Sour grapes Brandon? Too bad he wasn't able to make any memorable contributions while on the Saints roster to help us win games.

And that dump on Emmanuel Sanders (calls him 50) at the end was silly. The guy still performs at a high level and will help us tremendously at WR. Did he not watch him in San Fran last season?

IDK, his analysis on the Saints seems a bit personal.

He might not be wrong...

3 seasons with arguably the best team in the league, all resulting in 3 embarrassing playoff exits against teams we should have beat.

I think this year may be it... then after Brees, who knows. I am hopeful for Hill at QB, but that doesn't mean we have all the studs on defense still. Everyone talks about how the window is closing because of Brees, but there are other aging folks that may not perform at the same level, not to mention contracts that are coming up.

There is too much talent on this roster to say it's closed.

The window isn't closed but it's getting dark outside.

IF the Saints don't win another title with Brees, you gotta start at the top of the organization - Sean Payton...

Believe the addition of Sanders and drafting another defensive end, will be the difference...

I'm gonna' have to disagree jp. If Sean Payton also coached defense then I would have to agree but he coaches offense. Does he hire the DC? My guess is that he has full autonomy and there might be a problem with that. The defense has failed us miserably the last few years but outside of GW we just can't field a good defense. Maybe we need to be looking closer at Dennis Allen.:doh:

Fair enough, but his flip-flopping of a 4-3 to a 3-4 back to a 4-3, all those draft picks wasted and/or departed talented players (i.e. Akiem Hicks) were his decisions...

Payton does pick the staff/DC, hell Rugs, he's got full authority, and with that should come the full responsibility of a lack of results and chokes in the playoffs...

We've three straight years in the playoffs where we had 'em and Payton had to show he could outsmart everyone in the house, including himself...

This right here. Holding on to Bill Johnson, Vitt & McMahon years too long. That is on Sean Payton.

IMO Dennis Allen isn't getting done as DC either. Too many blunders late in ball games/playoffs that have cost us. Isn't his claim to fame in the secondary?

IDK, just not a fan of his defensive scheme.

If SP knows the NFL rulebook like BB, we run out the clock and go on to the next game at least twice. Maybe even win the SB twice.
