When you really think about it and look at the actual team this year (forget about priors), we were kind of lucky and overachieved.
Think of the bad teams that we narrowly beat (chargers, lions). All the games when we got by with backups in key positions, all the injuries. I also think we rank some players and positions well higher than their actual play and talent as well.
No excuses here but just a thread about context. This is a good team and it was a fun season, but they truly weren’t a super bowl level team and if they got there it would have been with a little more luck.
hopefully we can reload even with cap restraints by developing players within (there are a bunch of potential up and comers) and establish a new identity. I could really see the Saints transition to a run 1st and defensive team from here! Whatever the case, if you’re a real fan you’ll follow along whatever the future holds. I’m anxious to see it and will be along for the ride even if the Saints next chapter sucks, although I’m optimistic...have to be
