We're a broken organization IMO. For the better part of a decade now Danny and Vinny have operated under the assumption that talent = wins. Not necessarily. The lack of a steady head coach and the fact that we're unwilling to draft lineman on either side of the ball play a huge role as well.

We both know we have too much talent to play like this, just look at our payroll. However, you are 99% right..."potential is nothing if not realized." We as fans understand this, we see what we have, and we get excited, only to be let down. Yes, we are also a broken orginization, and the way Danny and Vinny go about business is not a good way. Talent does not always = wins. The "steady" head coach is not always the answer, we had gibbs part 2 for 4 years, and he brought stability to our team, and we got nothing to show for it. We need people that have intensity and willingness to open things up. We have played conservative ball for a really long time, and it's no conincidence that the more conservative we are, the more we lose. Time to get a philosophy of "attack".
It's a sad, sad day when I wish we were the Saints.
