AG,

We are the first team in NFL history to go 13-3 in back to back seasons and NOT advance past the conference championship game.

All of these regular season wins has yet to translate into anything meaningful. Saints consistently draft well, pick up key Free Agents yet fail in the playoffs. At some point, you gotta look at coaching.

I can make a very real argument that the Saints may have never done better than 8-8 over the past 15 years without Payton making all of the decisions that he has made. Can you say with all honesty that we would have had more success to this point without Sean Payton in charge? You can't lose in the playoffs without first making it to the playoffs. You are completely correct. At some point you have to look at coaching. And when I look at coaching I see the most successful run in the 53 year history of the New Orleans Saints and we currently have arguably the best roster ever.

As the old saying goes, be careful about what you wish for ... you just might get it.

Sure, place blame where ever you wish, but make sure you offset that with credit to see the bottom line. I asked JP this and haven't seen a reply ... who out there besides Belechick do you think would be giving us a better chance of winning it all that we could get to replace Payton? I can't wait to see your answer and explanation of why.

The offense ain't the problem. I'm looking squarely at Dennis Allen. His defense lost us games critical games because he just doesn't know how to close.

Last I checked he wasn't in uniform out on the field. Or did I miss something?
