Nope. Both sides contributed to the SB win. On defense, Manning and Addai had their way with us all day. To GW's credit the defense did just enough to keep points off the board. Garcon dropped a ball on the numbers to kill a drive, missed field goals and of course the ill-fated interception by Porter when they were driving to tie the game.
On Payton's offensive side of the ball, he and Brees had that defense on their heels the last three quarters of the game. First drive killed by a Colston drop, the fourth down stop of Bell on the goal line. A forgotten hero of that game was Hartley.
I know you don't care for Payton, but to not give him his due for that Super Bowl win is disingenuous. You're better than that.
All this without even mentioning the huge momentum shift of the FG before halftime and then the onside kick (Ambush) that swung the game potentially 14 points....
CSP was far from perfect, like any other coach he had his faults but he understood one thing that the Jim Mora's of the world never understood.....In big games you have to take big chances.....
It's weird because there appears to be a small subset of Saints fans who don't like CSP but totally revere Jim Mora.....and that makes zero sense.....
