We will not sniff the playoffs this year and hopefully this train wreck will be over. If he's allowed to stay longer he will continue to sink us deeper and deeper. We have a top 5 QB and we are the only franchise with one that isn't even a player in the title race for one reason Sean Payton.

I dont know if we will sniff the playoffs are not. Im not ready to say we wont. I do agree with your second statement though. But, Payton has got rid of every DC since he has been here after losing seasons. He kept his buddies on for waay too long. Its obvious he is feeling at least some heat to retool the whole coaching staff.

Everyone can scream DE all they want, but if this team makes the playoffs or has a 9-7 season, it will shut some mouths up for the time being. We arent a DE away from being a SB team, I promise you.

In 2009 we had Charles Grant and Will Smith. Grant was never a beast DE in the Payton era. From 2006-2009 he averaged 4 sacks. We had a solid MLB and a solid secondary.

Thats exactly what they are trying to go back to. They have plenty of pieces to try to make this work. Im optimistic for the first time in 4 years.
