How the last few playoff seasons have felt
 

Just when you think you get to the top.

Sorry all. I’m not smart enough to attach the video I just took on my IPhone. Maybe it’s too large.

In a word they have left me in a depression. The fella' at the phone store said he remembered me because of my vintage Saints jacket. He asked me how I was doing? I hung my head and then he said don't hang your head. They are a damn good team. He made my day better.

Re: How the last few playoff seasons have felt
 

To sum it up, it's hard as hell to get to the Super Bowl.

Ask Warren Moon, Barry Sanders or Eric Dickerson.

Re: How the last few playoff seasons have felt
 

Don't forget MVP Aaron Rodgers who failed 4 times in a row!

Re: How the last few playoff seasons have felt
 

It’s really kind of made me not enjoy the regular season as much to be honest. Knowing that the inexplicable playoff choke job is coming just puts such a damper on things.

Re: How the last few playoff seasons have felt
 

Yeah same to be honest, I've found my overall enjoyment dwindling year to year.

I've been able to get over the last 2 playoff losses at the moment the clock hit zero, where in years past I used to dwell on it for a week or more.

Re: How the last few playoff seasons have felt
 

how you lose is a big factor in how i feel about it
49ers in 11,Vikings with the miracle,Rams with the no call are harder to get over all three felt like legitimate shots at a superbowl if they won that game.

The second Vikings loss and the Tampa game not as hard. Out played both times. You can't make the mistakes made against tampa and vikings just beat the crap out of the Saints on both offensive and defensive lines through most of the game. Passing 66% of the time didn't help either

Naw, winning the division is over rated. So is home field. Once you are in the tournament, get on a roll and handle business.

See Tampa (won 3 playoffs games in a row on the road) & Giants.

The New Orleans Saints have become regular season warriors.

Re: How the last few playoff seasons have felt
 

Why is getting into the playoffs associated with having a good chance to get into the Super Bowl?

Do many of you realize that the honor of being a playoff team is something that 44% of the league get each year lol? 14 teams get into the playoffs, that's 2 shy of half the frikken league.

Not making the play offs speaks to how craptastic a team is a lot more than making it does for how good a team is lol.

Re: How the last few playoff seasons have felt
 

That's a good point. Nobody is talking about how his arm is gone, and yet, he and Drew still have the same number of rings.

Re: How the last few playoff seasons have felt
 

Re: How the last few playoff seasons have felt
 

Reality is that both have one ring.

Re: How the last few playoff seasons have felt
 

Painful reality incoming:

Drew Brees, Aaron Rodgers and..., REX GROSSMAN all have the same number of NFC championships.

Painful, very painful.

Re: How the last few playoff seasons have felt
 

Aaron Rodgers is a good Huckster which adds to the PERCEPTION "He must be a Great QB Too" Reality is he's worse than Brees and in a category all his own. Only QB in NFL History to lose 4 consecutive NFC Championship games

Re: How the last few playoff seasons have felt
 

So, you would rather be a crap team like Jets, Cleveland, Buffalo, Detroit, Jacksonville that went 20 years with very few playoff appearances and perennial losing records?

Re: How the last few playoff seasons have felt
 

I honestly think you replied to the wrong thing. Your reply has nothing to do with the my quote. Zero...

Is English your first language?

Re: How the last few playoff seasons have felt
 

Getting into the playoffs gives a team an infinitesimally greater chance of getting to the Super Bowl than not getting into the playoffs.

Re: How the last few playoff seasons have felt
 

It gives a team a chance..., until the starting QB for said team throws 3 (three) int’s, a 55.88 completion %, 134 total yards, with a 38.1 QB rating.

Re: How the last few playoff seasons have felt
 

If said QB was dealing with a rotator cuff injury on his throwing shoulder, recovering from 11 fractures in the rib cage, and a torn facia then even if his name was Patrick Mahomes it would be understandable.

Re: How the last few playoff seasons have felt
 

Baloney. On 12/07/2020 you made the following statement when discussing DB#9’s health and whether he should start.

“That makes no sense. If he is healed, he is healthy. He should be as healthy as he was prior to the first game of the season with the rest.”

Bottom line, using your logic, he was fine, or they wouldn’t have started him. He just stunk up the field, and now you want to claim “injured”. His “facia” was never reported iirc, his shoulder was listed once, maybe twice again iirc, and his rib injuries were obvious and why he missed time, and the rest allowed him to heal up..., as you stated it would.

The best predictor for future behavior is past behavior..., and the two most recent seasons clearly show what the future is with DB#9 at the helm. And unfortunately now that TB in TB is beginning to gel, we won’t even have an easy Division championship as an entrance to the playoffs.

Re: How the last few playoff seasons have felt
 

Think about it a while. It will come to you

Re: How the last few playoff seasons have felt
 

I got it. Haters gonna hate.

Obviously they started him because even hurt he was a better shot at winning than Winston. Oh, wait, you say! Winston produced our longest play for a TD! Yeah, on a trick play. Just where Taysom Hill has seen all of his limited success as a QB.

I know you can't kick Brees' ass to the curb fast enough. "Here's your parting gift, now hit the road! Buh bye!"

Re: How the last few playoff seasons have felt
 

Has nothing to do with hate. I neither hate, nor love an athlete, or entertainer, or engineer, doctor..., etc... Simply put, they are people. And all of us have our day in the sun. The Saints are not just Drew Brees alone. There are 52 other active players on the roster. DB#9 had his chances, and he was successful in many, many ways, including winning one SuperBowl a decade ago.

Very simply, for every birth or beginning, there is a time for an ending also. We saw it, nail in the coffin, on 1/17/2021. The smaller signs have been there for several years, but the big billboard was painted just recently.

Bottom line, the man is still under contract, so if he returns and plays, I’ll still be rooting for the Saints, and hoping he does well. I’ll just know what the future will bring though..., bc of the past. But I’ll be watching, holding my breath, and hoping, lol. As Charles Barkley once quipped: “Father Time is still undefeated”. I’m a fan of the Saints, Drew Brees is very simply just a player on that roster.

Re: How the last few playoff seasons have felt
 

The last few playoff seasons have felt like the blues music I love. Totally unfortunate yet fun.

Re: How the last few playoff seasons have felt
 

So even you have no clue what you were talking about... Cool. lol

Re: How the last few playoff seasons have felt
 

Yea, that’s why my comment got a like.

Re: How the last few playoff seasons have felt
 

Like pulling teeth!

Honestly, I'm afraid of going to the playoffs because of our recent performances and the usual graceless exit from the playoffs.

Re: How the last few playoff seasons have felt
 

Re: How the last few playoff seasons have felt
 

Can anyone on here say they didn’t have past playoff duds in the back of their minds this season. With Brees not at 100% and taysom on the bench. Believe me I thought we’d pound Brady . But that gut feeling

Re: How the last few playoff seasons have felt
 

I didn't. In my mind what has happened is in the past. If it is negative I forget about it. If it is positive I will hope for more of the same, however.

Re: How the last few playoff seasons have felt
 

I like the way you think. The thing is what is in the past is in the past but it sure feels like the present to me.

Re: How the last few playoff seasons have felt
 

I remember 67 - 87 being the laughing stock of the NFL. I'll take 3 NFC Championshinp Games, One Super Bowl, Multiple Division Championship and getting to watch one of the best QB's to ever play the game.

Karl Sweetan where art thou?
