The Extremes

TheDeuce · 04-26-2005, 06:40 PM

I love the Saints. I have loved the Saints my entire life. Every season I want to see them make it to the Super Bowl. I still have an agreement with my dad that if the Saints ever go to the Super Bowl, he will spend whatever it takes to get tickets to the game. I have taken constant criticism from all of my friends who support winning franchises like the Cowboys, Steelers, and Patriots; yet I still love the Saints. There is no denying that I want this team to win, and win often.

For Saints' fans, that four-game winning streak was the worst thing that ever could have happened. Not only did the streak put a halt to the front office and coaching staff changes that were being planned, it also seems to have given team officials a sense of complacency that should not exist.

This brings me to my point. In my opinion the best thing for this team is to do one of the extremes this year: win 'em all or lose 'em all. I would prefer the former, but I think I might prefer the latter instead of another 8-8 season or near playoff miss. 32-32 record over the last 4 seasons is nauseating and frustrating :casstet: . It has created a sense of complacency throughout the entire franchise from the FO to the waterboy. It has made our team one of the biggest jokes of the NFL, even Chris Berman called us GOOFY. It's time for things to change drastically, because it's fairly obvious that our current regime believes that we are just a small step away from greatness which I believe is total BS. We need a change, a complete makeover for the team and the FO. Some new faces might do this team some good. Sure this is risky because you never know how a team will handle a complete renovation; they could lose all sixteen games for the next few years because of it. But I might be able to live with 0-16 a little easier than I can live with another 8-8 season.

It is a wretched taste to be gratified with mediocrity when the excellent lies before us

I don't want people to thing that I don't want the Saints to win any games, because that isn't my point at all! I want them to go undefeated and win the Super Bowl every year for the rest of my life. But settling for mediocrity like we have been doing for the last few seasons makes me sick.
So, let's go to one extreme or the other, just as long as its not mediocre.
