Sean Payton Without Gregg Williams

I don't buy this analogy. Ryan's defense was by far the dominant unit on that 85 team. The offense was the dominant unit on Payton/Brees' teams. Yes, our '09 defense helped by forcing a lot of turnovers, but I'd rate Payton higher than Ditka. It took one of the worst blown calls in the history of sports to keep Payton out of his 2nd Super Bowl.

You're right, the call did keep us out of the 2nd Super Bowl but I brought it up because Ditka mentioned that he and Buddy probably could have accomplished more together than they did when they were apart. Looking at some of our playoff losses, some of them falls on the shoulders of the defense.
