Seems like a Captain Obvious statement, but the point bears repeating.

If the Saints front office had been taking notes, a season like the one we just had (and possibly a few more) would not have happened.

I watched the Eagles game with my good friend from Philadelphia. I don't watch football anymore but I forgot just how much fun the playoffs can be. I was secretly pulling for San Francisco. Yes, I know they used to beat us up. That was then and this is now. They are not the same team and neither are we. Unfortunately, "the neither are we" is just sad.

REALLY sad. I guess part of my (hopefully) becoming more mature, is that I can remain a SAINTS FAN FOREVER, but still (finally) enjoy watching better managed teams in the playoffs. It's still sad, but I can at least enjoy watching THE GAME being played by admittedly better prepared teams... to some degree.

Sinner, I can see it's been tough on you watching the team underperform this year. Before Sean Payton

came on board I was sitting next to people with bags on their heads. We went on to win a Super Bowl in Grand Style! I believe we can get there again with the current ownership and front office. I have no faith in this coaching staff anymore.

Wow! Really? You were sitting next to that small group fans that wore the bags. You must have had great seats back in that last part of 1980 and the first few games of 1981. Honestly, I had far, far less confidence in many coaching staffs over the last 55 years myself. At least we have a top five quality defense now. If we had this ten years ago we would have won multiple Lombardi's!

Yeah Guido, I sat there right next to the bags for way too many games. But the fans were still coming even though some were wearing bags on their heads. For all I know we had more fans in the stands then than for our last game. Gayle Benson did not know what she was getting into when she hired Dennis Allen, who is slowly driving away the fan base.

I was at every game this season. The crowds were all pretty comparable to last season's as far as I could tell. The last game was likely the smallest, but we were out of the running and the weather was nasty. What was down was the visiting fans. The sections down below us are always filled with opposing fans. It was pretty barren. The real fans are always going to show up even if Vladimir Putin was the head coach.

Thank you for "seeing" it Rugby.
