Beat a horrible arizona team to get everyone's hopes up only to get destroyed in the divisional round.

No thanks

This team had enough disappointing moments this season to last a while.

Times we won the Turnover battle this season in games that we lost 0-7-2

Quick Stats from a couple games we lost

Matt Ryan 448 yards 3 TD's

Tony Romo 262 yards 3 TD's/Demarco Murray 148 yards 2 TD's/ Saints Turnovers 3 - Cowboys 0

Matthew Stafford 299 yards 2 TD's

Saints Vs SF - 3 Saint Turnovers

Andy Dalton 220 yards 3 TD's Jeremy Hill 152 yards

Cam Newton 226 yards 3 TD's Jonathan Stewart 155 yards 1 TD

Matt Ryan 322 yards 1 TD, 4 Saint Turnovers


Drew Brees has 24 Turnovers on the season

Our defense has the following rankings statistically

31st Ranked Total Defense
30th 3rd Down Conversation Defense
28th Scoring Defense

So to recap in a year where we lost our last 5 homes games, where we love to turn the ball over, and have a defense that gives up a lot of yards, 3rd down conversations, and points...we were going to just waltz into the playoffs and win a game because Carolina did it.....

I'm sorry, but winning a playoff game is much more important that the 13th pick in the NFL Draft - especially when the New Orleans Saints have trouble picking and developing 1st round talent.

Patrick Robinson? Mark Ingram? Kenny Vaccaro? Malcolm Jenkins? Sedrick Ellis? Robert Meachem? Aside from Mark Ingram's 2014 season, Brandin Cooks and Cameron Jordan, wouldn't you take a playoff win over all of the players that have underwhelmed or been busts? Was Kenny Vaccaro benched this year? I know he's graded out pretty badly on PFF.

Trust me, as Denver Broncos fan, I would definitely take a playoff win over drafting someone like Tim Tebow, Jarvin Moss or George Foster...in a heartbeat.
