NFC South

stockman311 · 09-19-2005, 02:51 PM

That exactly what I'm saying. Any win that could give an NFC team a potential tie breaker over the Saints come playoff time is in direct oppostion to your Saints fandom. A true Saints fan never pulls for any other team except for the Saints. If it's the postseason and the Saints have been eliminated then I have no problem with it. If it's the preseason, pull for the Cowboys all you like. In the regular season the Cowboys are considered the enemy only one notch below Tampa, Atlanta, and Carolina.
Just look at the Rams/Jets game last year and you will get my point. Were you rooting for the Rams last year?

I'm not a Jake basher but Jake did not look good this week either. Commentator kepted noting that his throws were late coming out and he took too many chances...Anybody know his QB rating.

Nope I was not rooting for the Rams... if fact I dispise the Rams. I enjoy watching the Panthers, Eagles, and many other teams play football. My favorite team is the Saints but I'm a football fan in general. So because I like them also in your book I'm not a "true" Saints fan. Is there any other rules you would like to make up to become a "true" Saints fan. I would love to read you do's and don't. I'll makeup a guide myself. Hmm... I'll start with anyone with numbers in their name are not considered "true" Saints fan. #2 if you don't own 10 or more Saints items, then you aren't a "true" Saints fan. #3 if you have never attended a Saints game, then again you aren't a "true" Saints fan. #4 if you cheer for an AFC team to beat NFC teams then you aren't a "true" Saints fan. How dumb does all this sound to you?

I won't tell people how to be a true Saints fan, but I have to agree with stockman that as long as an NFC team is a contender for a play-off spot that should go to the Saints, I will cheer for their opponents. And in week 2 all of them are contenders, so I'm happy when the AFC team wins.
It helps that all the other teams I like are AFC teams and NFC teams - other than the Saints - are somewhere between "hate 'em" and "don't care too much for them" at best.

Stockman is 100% correct!
I root for no team other than the Saints....period.
Postseason is a different ballgame(if eliminated).....then I'm usualy rooting for the spoilers....
I love to hate.....

It doesn't matter who the hell you root for. The Saints aren't going to need any tiebrakers this year b/c they are going deep into the playoffs. Super Bowl bound maybe(I'll put the bottle down now).
