Drew Brees is why we lost,period. From his poor play to his 2 turnovers, inexcusable for a future HoF who knows this could've been his last shot at a superbowl.

Failures at Qb, OL, Front 7 on Defense, Coaching for not having the guys motivated, plenty of blame to go around. This team peaked in the first half of 2018.

Did we really have one of the best teams though?

Yes we did. Just one of the poorest offensive gameplans of the year. Adjustments made too late, and when the defense had actually begun to wear down,

Taysom should of been more involved, especially on 3rd & shorts cause the dude is money to get the first. We lost cause Drew turned the ball over and was outplayed by Kirk freaking Cousins. Some of the decisions by coach didn’t help. We should of tried to score a TD at the end, but coach decides not to call timeout with 30 seconds left.

This one stings!! LSU better win to salvage such a great Louisiana football season. It was the best ever, but the Saints had to drop the ball

If you told me we can only keep one of them next year, Drew or Taysom, I’d keep Taysom.

The fault is not on Brees alone, the OL could have played better but those two turnovers were daggers in our chance of winning. Our defense played the best they could considering they barely got any rest with our offense constantly going 3 and out.

Dude. Are you serious?

Watch the replay and look at the review objectively. The Saints are my favorite team but I’m mature and objective enough in my elder years now to call it like it is.

Leave out the defense. They were the reason the Saints actually had a chance. They just wore down in the end. The offense was awful the first 3 quarters due to poor playcalling, which led to mistakes and turnovers.

So am I bro. The dude pushed off. Should have been called.

The defensive front 7 was manhandled in the first half. They gutted it out in the 4th qtr so I will give them props for that.

After 3 loses in a row in the playoff's by a team that arguably should have gone to the Superbowl each of those years, we as fans need an explanation. The Saints can't be trusted to do what their record shows. But, a team like the Vikings who had a crap year and barely made the playoff's beats a 13-3 team??? I don't understand?

You'd be crazy. Lol. Not slighting you though.

So now the 49ers get to finish off the #6 seed that we couldn't handle today.
I saw a lot of embarrassing stuff on the field. I hope our players learn something about making assumptions that they are good enough to sleep walk through a playoff game.

I duno if I’m gonna even watch the Super Bowl now bleh

Yea, but unless he pushes him to the ground you’ll never get a booth replay. Refs were off the field 10 seconds after the play. We played losing football today. The season was a failure with this talent. Where was Brees? I’m still baffled on how he didn’t show up. In fact, other than Hill, where was everybody. This will always be the NOLA NoShow game to me.

The Vikings played their game. Give them props. But the Saints still took them to the wire by playing a crappy game on offense. If the Saints played Saints offensive football, this would have been no contest. Again, I fault Payton for not preparing a plan that used Cook and Murray more.
