re: We all knew this would end like this.

To be fair the saints never had a chance to develop an identity. Drew out for half the season, mt out for half the season, you've got all these injuries, covid scratches, I don't know that we had the same starting offense in two consecutive weeks. Hard to do with a sub-prime qb who also was dealing with a half rack of broken ribs. Cgm had a million catches last season. Did he manage to scratch 30 this season? Kamara has been the best and most consistent offense we had this year. You could argue we didn't give him the ball enough today, especially on a day that drew just didn't seem to have it.

The defense the last few years has been good enough to keep us in serious contention, but in this day and age you have to have solid offensive production to be a legitimate contender. We've had it at times this year but not with consistency.
