Eagles' Sheldon Brown: "You don't fool with him." article 9/18
Still not getting your point. You've offered nothing to suggest the Saints have not been "motivated" on offense in the past (under Payton) other then the fact that they have had occasional bad games.
As you noted, anyone who watches football for more then 3 weeks knows all teams have bad games occasionally, even quality, highly motivated teams.
Ergo, you have not watched football for more then 3 weeks? Stop surrendering and just elaborate on what your point was. Surely I missed it. Why are we moving to the "next level" on offense motivation-wise?
