Tonight felt like the official end of an era

I am very thankful for the memories that Payton and Brees helped to bring to this city and franchise.

But that era is done. There was little energy and leadership from Brees tonight, CSP had a pretty abysmal night of playcalling overall and the creativity he was once lauded for is simply not there anymore.

This isn't a "one game thing", rather, something that's been brewing the past 2-3 years and ever so slowly inching towards the inevitable.

I agree. It felt different.

Easy bro. That was a top 5 NFL defense with 5 pro bowlers at home on MNF. You can't expect to light it up. The disappointment was our defense and their inability to get off the field and force punts.

8 or 9 plays of 20+ yards????? This loss is like most. On the defense.

Edit: 4 who downvoted. You're ok with giving up 200 yards passing at half time???? No pressure. Defense sucked.

CSP just refuses to evolve as a playcaller. Same tired crap every drive. If I as just some guy can tell what he'll call before he calls it, I know damn sure every football coach from JV on up in the entire country does.

Sean Payton will end up like Daniel Day Lewis, at the end of "There Will be Blood"

He used to have 2 or 3 cool wrinkles per game.

He doesn't even have 2 or 3 cool wrinkles per season the last 3 years.

Sadly, I think I may agree (with the original poster, not the retard that said 2010). We whiffed on too many D coordinators.

Gregg blew the SF game in 2011 but he was the only good coordinator of the Payton era.

5 turnovers. It was a joint effort from a better team to lose to an inferior opponent.

Agreed. This 0-1 feels worse than the five others

Defense blew it at the end, but the offense screwed around for a whole half and didn't do the defense any favors.

Sure If you think we should score a TD every time we cross the 50 against a top 5 defense.

This isn't college football. I'd suggest that's not realistic.

Even if a few of those FGs are TDs, we still lose.

Our high powered offense also managed 2 fgs

They sucked as well.

Or just don't turn it over every possession

I don't know why everyone thinks that game was on the defense when drew and co gave up 5 possessions. It was a joint frick up.
