Yeah, but who could beat the the legend that is Montana. Bad timing,lol, and we were in that division at the time. 12 wins and we could not win. 49ers were unbeatable.

Hi Pherein!
Always good to have you here and my continued condolences for what has befallen the Saints. Like many others, I appreciate that you haven't tried to "make excuses" for what happened and question what is seen as fair punishment pretty much everywhere outside N'Awlins.
You raise a good point as usual. It might not be 100% applicable to the Saints because they were such a young franchise, but it's very interesting how many "Good" teams are stymied by a team or player that is "special."
The Cowboys of the 1970's were a juggernaut, but came away with only two Trophies in five trips to the SB because they had the misfortune of having to play the Steel Curtain, Terry Bradshaw and Chuck Knoll.
The Steelers of the 2000's feel that the Pats went to two of "their" SuperBowls by beating them in the AFCCG.
