If they had that they couldn’t control the game.

Honestly think it’s a ploy to get attendance down and move the organization to a bigger market. New Orleans isn’t the destination it used to be for visiting teams fans either. The crime rate here isn’t helping things. In 10 years the Saints will be somewhere else. Hopefully San Antonio since I’m only an hour and a half away.

It honestly wouldn't surprise me. After seeing that game, I am baffled as to why the refs always seem to be on the wrong side of calls that determine games for us. We win that game if it's not for the refs. We would have a winning record if not for the refs. I don't think we are a good team honestly, but somehow we've managed to hang in games and should have won them. We're getting screwed badly.

I can’t understand why people won’t accept this. Would we be undefeated if we had 0’turnovers? Yes. Would we be undefeated if we were more disciplined? Without a doubt. Would we be undefeated with better line, QB, and special teams play? Absolutely. Would we be undefeated if the refs didn’t screw us?

Hell friggin YES!

You sound like me. Someone who fully expected us to be 3-1, possibly undefeated, instead of 1-3 and now looking at every single play with frustration.

All I know is that we get a first down conversion or third down stop I hold my nrwath because I fullt expect to see a flag thrown by a bad ref. This game is just unwatchable now. I haven't seen a game besides the Saints in a couple of years.

Add "would be be undefeated without all the injuries" to your list.

I zoomed the Tampa game with my brother in Seattle and he summed it up
pretty well….

That's what stopped me buying Gamepass the last 2 years.
I found myself, every Sunday night, with work the next day, in an annoyed mood because of something completely out of my control.

I got that invested in general fandom, that a Saints loss would basically ruin my whole week and if the refs were involved, I'd be miserable. I recognised that it wasn't fair to my wife and it wasn't making me happy, so I stopped buying Gamepass.

Now on Sundays, I keep an eye on NFL play by play but I do something I enjoy instead. Play video games, watch a movie, see family and friends.

Yeah, that’s the rub.
