Also, I'm waiting for your answer as well on my previous question. What are the primary objectives of a NFL GM. See my previous reply.
So if the Saints were the better team, that means we were the better team vs Seattle in 2016? They needed a miracle to win that game, one that they had even less control over, seeing as Case still needed to throw a nice pass, Diggs needed to make a nice catch and impressively keep his balance and be aware enough to know he had a clear path to the endzone. All Seattle did was sit back and watch Walsh pooch a gimme. Funny though, cause I have distinct memories of your opinions of that game... none of which suggested we deserved to win. Apparently our hand picked Kicker cost is that game, yet you don’t hold the Saint’s hand picked safety to that same standard? Seems like a little bit of a double standard
If the Minneapolis Miracle play happened at any other point in the game than the last play, no one talks about how lucky we were. Were the Seahawks lucky a few weeks ago when Rhodes made a horrible mistake and gave them an easy walk in touchdown? Does that mean we should have tied them if not for a “miracle”. Or wait no, I guess since Treadwell needed a miracle to be so wide open to get us back in the game, it evens out...
Mistakes are a part of football. Exploiting those mistakes and limiting your own is what separates good teams from bad teams. Marcus Williams, a Saints player, botched the most important play of the game and you’re acting like that doesn’t equate into whether or not they deserved to win. Just imagine that was Sendejo in the exact same scenario but reversed. Would you be giving credit to the Vikings and Spielman for deserving to win, would we be contenders in your eyes? After being shut out in the first half and choking the most important play of the game away? You and I both know the answer to that.
As for your question, idk, I wasn’t apart of that discussion. I simply chimed in to point out the double standard you’re displaying. What a GMs job is or isn’t or whatever it is you’re asking isn’t really my point. If getting blown out in the NFC championship makes you a pretender by your own definition, how can you praise the Panthers when they got blown out in the Super Bowl. Is that your cut off? Make the Superbowl and you’re a contender no matter how badly you lose, but if you lose a championship game you fall into pretender status?
I actually think our team who lost to Seattle is the closest Spielgod has come to building a Superbowl contender (not counting this year, as we haven't seen them in playoffs)...but even that team was a far cry.
Let's be brutally honest here for a second... we all know deep down that it was a matter of when the wheels will fall off from the Keenum magic run. We all knew and still know deep down that we were not going to win a Superbowl that season.
... and neither is this Chris guy.
