The Saints are paying more in cap space to defensive players not playing than the starting 11. There was no way to keep offensive players who had huge numbers because they had an elite QB who could drop the ball on their hands even when they were not open. Scoring 25ppg should get you better than a 4-6 record. It is a miracle they won against the giants, and well, the past two weeks have been embarrassing.
Drew will either take a pay cut or will be playing somewhere else next year. Payton isn't a bad coach, he just needs to get a clean slate on defense. Without injury, we have a good offensive line, with a single replacement we could have a great offensive line. I don't see Payton letting an elite defensive coordinator come in and let him select his coaches.
The Saints have had some bad breaks this year, and officiating has been horrendous this year. The NFL just yesterday admitted that the outcome of the Ravens-Jags game was WRONG due to poor officiating. NFL is truly turning into the No Fun League with officials being flag happy for phantom penalties and missing blatant calls.
