VIDEO: Brandon Marshall Trashing the Saints for Blowing it in the Playoffs is a Complete Joke
By Jerry Trotta
It would appear that Brandon Marshall's limited stint with the New Orleans Saints in 2018 left him with a bitter taste in his mouth. The former star NFL wide receiver appeared on ESPN's "First Take" on Thursday to dissect the Saints' shortcomings in the postseason in recent seasons. As he tends to do in front of cameras, Marshall went scorched earth. He event went as far as to say that New Orleans' window to win a Super Bowl is closed.
Brandon Marshall is just trashing the Saints on First Take, saying “Do you see that everyone has the book on New Orleans offense now?”

Last time I checked that offense dropped 46 points on the best defense in the league this past season. pic.twitter.com/HOq6t9f9Hg
In sum, Marshall's rant was highly contentious and not entirely accurate, which is incredibly ironic because he NEVER made the playoffs in his 13-year career.
That fact proves the six-time Pro Bowler should tread lightly the next time he appears on national television to talk football, let alone discuss a team as successful as the Saints, who have made the playoffs seven times in the last 11 seasons. That impressive run includes a Super Bowl title in 2009 and three consecutive NFC South crowns from 2017 to the present.

We appreciate the fire that Marshall brings to these debate shows, but give us a break. He has no idea what he's talking about here.
