So no.
No, not even close to what the Chiefs did. I get that mega donk homer is your thing, but mega donk homer, bald face liar is a bad look even for you. So maybe just calm down with your story telling, sport. [Reply]

The Saints went 49-15. The Chiefs' regular season record during that same stretch was 48-16. [Reply]

He has the ability to complement that defense with how he runs an offense. And if there’s anybody out there besides Andy Reid and Kyle Shanahan that could make that offense the best that it can be, his name is Sean Payton.
“Now, no coach guarantees you success. But if you’re looking for good fits, Sean’s background – how he’s been successful, where he’s been successful, how he plays the game – the way that team is built right now, this always seemed like a very easy decision for the Broncos.”
“They’re close,” Banner said. “I hate to use that cliché. But their defense is undeniably good. And I don’t believe Russell Wilson suddenly became a complete disaster. I do believe he’s a descending player. I do believe he’s been that for a couple of years. But I think he’s still at a level where he can run a successful offense.
“You can’t do it behind that offensive line calling the plays Hackett was calling for him. I don’t expect the Broncos to look back and say, ‘Wow, were we smart to make this trade (for Wilson) and give him all of that money.’ But I do expect we’re going to see a Russell Wilson next year that looks nothing like the Russell Wilson we saw this season. Sean Payton will make sure of that. Combined with the defense, it will give them a chance to improve quite a bit pretty quickly.”

One thing that stood out to the Broncos' search group was how Payton finished in New Orleans. From 2017 to 2020, Saints were 49-15 and won four straight NFC South titles. Those were Drew Brees' age 38, 39, 40 and 41 seasons.
Belief is Payton still has a lot of coaching juice.

Did I miss the part where the Broncos all sudden acquired Drew Brees and that saints roster from those years? The Broncos roster is absolute garbage and have traded away most of the draft capital needed to improve it, and are in cap hell on top of that. [Reply]

:-) Pointing to the Minneapolis Miracle as just a stroke of bad luck for Payton is hilariously retarded. Even if Marcus Williams doesn't go full retard Diggs still easily steps out of bounds and the Saints are well within range of a game winning FG. [Reply]
