The loss of players to injury this year has been unheard of. We aren't even close to being the same team that started the season. There's no way that Payton could build a winning team with what is left.
I know that NBC is going to be hyping the Saints as still being a formidable opponent for the Bills tonight, but they really should consider playing Taps to start the game instead of the national anthem.
I'm glad that you didn't have to pay big bucks to watch the collapse this year, but the Saints are coming back in the next few years and I hope you are able to get some seats again once they are competitive again.
