Observations from the Saints Win vs Eagles

I wouldn’t spend too much time downing Minshew. Although he’s not my choice for qb of the future for the Saints he’s still a nice player. Problem is we saw something from the Saints Sunday that few, if any teams, can do. Four quality starting corners on the field and pressure with 4 guys. Almost impossible to contend with. Short of a adebo losing his balance on one play this was the type of defensive domination we had hoped for all season. Lattimore is obviously a big reason for that but Taylor has been the surprise

It's astounding what a key injury here or there can do to a potentially outstanding roster. It can quickly flip the table. Three short weeks ago nobody would have given the Saints a shot at the Eagles, but their losing two or three key players and us getting two or three back made all the difference in the world.

This is what we have been missing.

A team with no first round pick might do less to worsted their draft position in rounds where they do have picks.

If said team was made up of losers who didn't have a desire play their very best and to win every time they take the field this might be true. Give me a team made up with players with heart and integrity any day.

Honestly, do you own any Saints paraphernalia? You sure like to point fingers like those smelly nasty trolls who never have anything nice to say about anything. Are you even a Saints fan?

Tell me what you like about the Saints and how you would get us back on track. There has to be some common ground.

The most passionate (and dedicated) fans are not "Haters", but simply expressing their dissatisfaction and even disgust with the insult that comes with watching our beloved team, stacked with talent and potential, yet so poorly coached and conditioned, that we have to face some of the most ridiculous mathematical equations to possibly sneak (limp) into the Playoffs ("Playoffs?!?!? Playoffs?!?!? You kiddin me?!?!?") - and then to NOT make it... The Fans deserve better, and the Staff (AND Management) of this team is paid well to make any necessary adjustments to provide a satisfactory experience for the dedicated Fans.

There are passionate and dedicated fans for certain. And we all process things differently. I'll put my passion for my Saints up against anyone. They most likely play far too much of a role in my life, but that is my burden to carry. I know intellectually that there is nothing I can do to affect the success of the team other than yelling my ass off every home game in the stands. I choose to dwell on the positives rather than agonize over negatives over which I have absolutely no control.

But there are haters out there that for some reason make it their life's work to belittle the team. They shrink away into some hole when the team is successful and come slithering out when difficult times arise. They attempt to feed upon it, but all they actually accomplish is showing all what miserable creatures they actually are.

And, yes, it is the job of the management to do their very best to provide that satisfactory experience. In fact, it is the job of all thirty-two managements. But, given outside influences mostly out of their control, most of those teams will not reach the playoffs in every given year. And all we can effectively do as fans is hope for the best the next year.
