I don't know how, after watching the Saints last year anyone can discredit a head coach like you're doing right here.


What does Sean Payton coach? Offense. Without Payton, we were still #2 in total yards and #3 in points. Our offense did their job without Payton.

We went 7-9 last year without Payton because we were the worst D in the history of the NFL yardage wise. We gave up 1,000 more yards than the 31st ranked team did. Gave up the 31st most points in the NFL. Worst ranked D against the run, and 31st ranked D against the pass.

Payton has never been a defensive guy. Hes an offensive guy. Hell, the year without Payton we had more yards and ppg than we did with him this year. Not saying Payton isnt an awesome coach, because hes a great coach. But we didnt go 7-9 in 2012 because Payton wasnt there. We went 7-9 because of our defense, and Payton isnt a defensive coach.

And again, John Fox is a really good, potentially great coach. But I dont think he has had that much to do with the Broncos success this year.

I don't agree with this. The offensive dropoff from 2011 to 2012 was massive despite the Saints still having a great offense. We had more 3 and outs in the first 4 games of 2012 than we had the entire 2011 season. The offense put the D in some terrible situations
