Vaguely. What was so bad about it? Did we suck that season?

Remember when Payton and Saints won the Superbowl?

I was ok with him trying something different. It didn't work so he adjusted the next year.

It turned our tough, mean football players into a bunch of pampered spa boys.

Just looked it up. Saints finished 2013 at 11-5. Then held TC in WV from 2014-2016, finished 7-9 all 3 years. Returned to NOLA for 2017 and went 11-5.

How many SBs might the Saints have won, if the dude could have just stuck it out with his wife?

Yep, an awesome moment.

I also remember several years of Drew throwing 5000 yards or so and we go 7-9 because our defense could literally not stop anyone.

Memory lane is a double edged sword.

And perhaps laid off the pills. Wasn't he part of that whole fiasco?

Nobody wants to bring up when Mora and Finks decided to go somewhere in Wisconsin?
