Funny when I saw the word choke, thought for a minute that this thread was about Atlanta. If you look up Choke in the dictionary Atlanta is listed as one of the examples.

I have no problem with him but if we are losing the boo birds are going to come out quick once fans are back in the stands.

I wasn't aware of any "boo birds" out there to return. Besides, I'm not envisioning the Saints tobe doing much losing once again this season. They are better (on paper) top to bottom than they were each of the past three seasons in which they went 37-11.

37-11 during the regular season, but 2-3 when the games actually matter.

Three seasons, Three failures on an epic level, including going 13-3 and losing in a wild card game.

That being said, I also think the Saints are a better team, “top to bottom” than the last three years of playoff failures have proven. The Saints are going to need those players to take success to the next level. Problem with the mindset of going “all in” is that if you don’t actually win the entire enchilada, then the entire year is a waste.

If you never go "all in" you may never even get close to a side of beans and rice, however. In that case you have decades of wasted years.

There is a ton of luck involved in winning a Super Bowl. Only one team can do it every year and it takes plenty of lucky bounces.

I think the playoff loses are more on Payton’s questionable gameplan, halftime adjustments and god awful clock management than Drew. And to be honest Zimmer just has Payton’s ass. He’s too cute and stubborn.

Agreed, a million percent. In all truthiness, everybody has a difference of opinion on why the last three years ended the way they did. None are dogmatically right, none are dogmatically wrong either. Just differences of how we see things.

When it comes to Payton, I’ve taken the “live by the sword, you die...” attitude. He gets too “fancy” and “gadgety” in quite a few situations. It worked in 2009, but look at his postseason record since the SuperBowl year. We haven’t been above .500 in any of those years..., I’ll remind you, that’s a decade of futility.

Borrowed time can last several seasons. Although This Jacob Blake crap(rapist and thief) could certainly lead to a quicker exit than Drew had planned.

I seriously doubt it would have any impact whatsoever on his decision to continue playing after this season. He has repeatedly stated that after every season he is asking himself two questions ... 1) Am I still performing at a high enough level? 2) Do I still love preparing for any playing the game?

As long as the Saints are competitive, as they have been over the past three seasons, I can very easily see the answer to both of those questions being "yes" once again following this season. Especially if we win a second Lombardi. The only other thing that may be a factor is if Tom Brady continues playing. I truly believe Brees wants to keep all of those records he holds for someone other than Brady to catch sometime in the future.

I believe 2020 is it for Brees ...

Win, lose or draw.
