Huge key here. Remember the stat quoted during the game the other day....in Spags' first season in NY, they gave up 80 points in the first two games, and then an average of 17 the rest of the season, on the way to winning a Super Bowl. Most will respond with "But he had better personnel in NY" and my knee-jerk reaction is to agree. Then again, who the hell ever heard of Justin Tuck, Jason Pierre-Paul and Osi Umenyiora before that season?

We (me included) were probably delusional to think this team would contend for the Super Bowl without Payton on the sidelines. But I think the obit is a little premature.

Don't think JPP was on that team, but appreciate your point all the same.
