Didn't have this many "come to Jesus" moments under Payton

It’s always interesting to see how easily a fanbase can delete past horrible memories, when their favorite team is facing current mediocrity. It appears many Saints fans have forgotten how dysfunctional those 2014-2016 years were. Brees even spoke up about players taking more accountability and doing their jobs. He also sounded thisclose to bouncing. Did we forget when he took to the podium in a season’s end loss and said something in the vein of, “I can’t keep doing this” or “I don’t know how long I can keep doing this”? There were team meetings then, too. The Cam’s, Ben Watson’s, Armstead’s, Tim Hightower’s, Curtis Lofton’s, etc were the MT’s, AK’s, & DD’s of those dreadful times.

There’s nothing new under the sun nor under the dome. It’s not that these things didn’t happen with our franchise during Payton’s era. It’s that people have elected to erase those dreadful memories.
