Yup, the 2 things that got totally exposed in the Mora Saints teams....
1) Mora's inability as a HC to play aggressive offensively and take chances, along with failures to adjust to what the opposing D is doing....
2) When the heat got turned up in the playoffs it exposed ole Bobby as a streaky passer that lacked real leadership skills.....
It's astounding that they never won a playoff game with that D.....
Carl Smith was a pain at offensive coordinator, too conservative for me in the playoffs.Our D didnāt exactly shut teams down in the playoffs. Except the Bears in 1990 and that was Walsh at QB.

It was the lack of what they call today "complimentary football" that was the issue with the Mora-era teams.Our D didnāt exactly shut teams down in the playoffs. Except the Bears in 1990 and that was Walsh at QB.

Focusing on just the playoff losses from the following two years with Hebert, we see a 10-0 lead blown against the 'Clowns because the offense couldn't help the defense out by padding the lead. The Dome Patrol's weak spot was the secondary. They couldn't hang with the 'Clowns' speed. A year later, an even bigger lead blown (20-7) against the Eagles for pretty much the same reason. The hard-working but pedestrian secondary couldn't hang with the Eagles' playmakers.
We had no such playmakers on offense to counter it with.
Gosh I was a middle school kid and was sick the rest of the week. Didn't go to school that whole week.And don't forget about the Vikings game in 87. What did we lose 44-10?
