Well, same can be said for vice versa. The only thing that matters is whether our teams have been historically competitive, and in terms of overall w/l record the last 15 years, the Saints are 4th in the league behind only the Pats, Steelers and Packers.
Thats a fair point but I don't think we've had a Super Bowl level team since we "lost" to the Rams. There has been a regression in talent and we are paying for it now.
