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.

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. :bng:

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.

To give that pass to some of the highest paid people in the sports/entertainment industry, is simply short-sighted.

It has nothing to do with their competence. COVID hit and severely affected the ability of teachers to give hands on guidance to students. Does that mean they let their students down? A plumber or electrician is dependent upon the supply chain to service customers. If that supply chain is interrupted by ships stacked up at various ports does that make them incompetent? A police officer cannot do his or her job as efficiently when said COVID has knocked out half the force. Does that make them poor officers? A mother or father cannot provide as well for their families if their jobs have been eliminated. Does that make them bad parents? Unexpected illnesses have led to the downfall of military engagements throughout history. These are all outside influences out of their control.

Keep believing what your are believing if it makes you feel better. I'll keep on loving and enjoying my Saints pain free. Time to move on to the Panthers!
