Saints released Michael Thomas per Duncan; Thomas & Winston are Post-June 1 cuts

It also robbed everyone of what would have been an absolutely colossal “Brady vs. Brees” Super Bowl, but fans of other teams were too busy aiming their darts at Saints fans to care about the impending trash heap of a game that was coming.

Also the Saints would have smoked the Patriots in that Super Bowl.

Yep. Would have been an all-time classic matchup on paper but we would have obliterated that Patriots team.

It also would have happened in Atlanta, with us as the home team in the Falcons locker room.

We were really robbed of a legendary moment for Brees, and a moment that also could have cemented SP’s Hall of Fame resume.

I’ve always said that it is absolutely incredible that we never got a Saints-Patriots Super Bowl. Took several miracles for that to occur, and the one time we did get there, it was a very rare year where NE played in and got trounced in round 1.
