It’s in the past and there’s no reason to bring it back. Those fans should have never put those bags on to begin with because now we have to hear about it coming back anytime we’re down on our luck. With the draft, free agency, and trades a team can turn it around overnight. This isn’t the end of the world.
We’re not “down on our luck”, we’re an extremely talented team that’s being mismanaged and outcoached at every level. Some of us just don’t like watching bad football from our team, with no promise of it getting much better any time soon. It might not be “trauma”, but after a hard working week, to sit back and watch professionals make a joke of a Sunday, sucks. This AINT gonna turn around overnight. I would love nothing more than to be proven wrong.

We all believe the ship could be righted with a coaching change. That could happen overnight. Like I said in a previous thread, we can overcome a weak offensive line with coaching. Shoutout to the Texans.

How many posters have actually worn a bag on their head or had to sit next to people wearing bags? During the early years I've had to sit next to them regularly when I went to the Dome. I am a proud fan who won't Boo my team or wear a bag over my head. If people want to rail on their team that's their business wanting to send a message to the team. As a true fan I would never wear a bag over my head. Although, I would prefer it if those folks would choose to wear wear plastic bags over their heads! :p

Never wore a bag, nor sat next to a bagger. Voiced my True Opinion as a Saint Fan.... :beatnik:

To be honest: The Aints Bag Era was when I became a fan of the team I love. I figured, hell, if Saints fans could STILL show up to the game, as bad as they were, even with bags on their heads in protest... THOSE are truly diehard fans! I really didn't see fatalism... I see passion!

I've seen fake fans for other franchises ("America's Team" comes to mind) who disappear when they're trying to right the ship. Even though I hate listening to it, those that b!t@# & moan but still ride out the storm, still have my respect.

My two sheckles.

Lol, fairweather fans & I live around these clowns.

When the losing starts, they scatter like roaches. Not all, but some.

The whole head baggers deal was grossly over-hyped. There were fewer than 200 or 300 "fans" that wore the bags over a small of a handful of games just hoping to get shown in the TV highlights. Most of them never even understood the meaning of the protest started by Buddy Diliberto.

My issue is with the ones that only show up to b!t@# and moan when things are going bad. They aren't there to ride out the storm. They are using the prevailing winds to navigate their ship of negativity.

We ARE riding the storm. Our ship is not looking sea-worthy. The crew looks uninspired. The captain has no fire. The prevailing winds “just keep doing what they’re doing”.

No. Of course not. I am relaying what I have heard and read over the years about those isolated events. But, yes, in some accounts it was specifically stated that they didn't understand what they were "protesting" at the time, but just did it for the moment. Due to my love of my Saints and my love for research I have spent a great deal of time delving into our history whenever possible.

And yet here you are b**thing and moaning about people b**tching and moaning. Textbook hypocrisy. At least members are b**tching for a good reason, you just b**tching because you’re not getting your way.
I see people b**tching, and rightfully so, but nobody is leaving here…that’s riding out the storm to me.
Speaking of leaving, if that’s your issue you should go and find a site where nobody complains or look at things with their dung covered glasses and it’s all positive vibes even in the midst of a poor product being put out by their team…oh wait! My bad, it doesn’t exist.

Therein lies my point. The mere fact that you haven't disappeared from this forum means that complaining doesn't mean that you've given up hope. You're still a fan and you care what happens to your Squad!

Glass half full or Glass half empty, that glass still has something in it you care about. :chug::bng:

If we don’t score TOUCHDOWNS this weekend… and quickly, it’s going to get uglier than it has been.

Broncos seem much closer to being the “Aints” then the Saints are.

These guys need a safe space and a Xanax. The sky isn’t falling chicken little. We are 3-2 with a whole lot of sch ahead of us. If you don’t like it, don’t watch. I would prefer you fake fans do that anyway

Yeah. The current Saints are not even close to the same ballpark as those Saints of the late 70's and early 80's owned by John Mecom. He was the whole reason for the bagheads of that era. As tightfisted as they got. Gayle isn't afraid to spend money.

Re: AINTS are back!!!
 
Seems like for some the definition of “Aints” has changed from

A) Worst team in the league.

To

B) Don’t look as good as the Super Bowl favorites.

I was in Dicks sporting goods in Baton Rouge last week. The way they had the Saints t-shirts folded, it looked like "aints". I actually laughed out loud! Had to peek around the fold to make sure that first S was there.

I’m glad you found what I said funny. Most others take it as truth. Obviously no one really wants to hear from you, or other fake fans. You always think the worst. Even if we were 11-6 you would find a way to hate on the saints. You’re not a fan, just a kid who loves reactions

Damn 34-0 over the Patriots! I think I might have jumped the gun a little, but I won’t make that decision until after this week! Saints 28 - Texans 13

You're not going to be able to make a decision after this week either no matter how it goes. The only consistent element to the 2023 Saints is their inconsistency.

Only a stretch of 4 or 5 games with consistent results, good or bad, will finally define this team. But it may never happen. It may continue to be 34-0 games followed by inexplicable 4th quarter collapses like in the Green Bay. Both stressful and infuriating.
