Coach Sean Payton did the best that he could when you consider the injuries to the running backs of the Saints.  That caused the Saints to be to one dimensional which allowed teams to attack the Saints with nickel and dime defenses often.  The Saints finished at 7-9 in Sean Payton’s second season in charge.  Payton has now been the head coach of the Saints for two seasons now and he has compiled a 17-15 (.531 %) regular season record and he is 1-1 in the post season.
