AINTS are back!!!
 

You all know I’m right! I’ve got new headgear to watch the games with and I don’t need a nose or mouth hole, because I can’t breath when I watch them play anyway!!!

Re: AINTS are back!!!
 

This year, they need to be call the Ain’t Even…
Probably need to switch to plastic bags.

Re: AINTS are back!!!
 

This team is worse than the teams that brought on the bag .... maybe something not as masculine. :beatnik:

Re: AINTS are back!!!
 

You guys are nuts. And I'd never wear the bag.

Re: AINTS are back!!!
 

I am not sure if they are Aint level yet, but they are most certainly Ditka level. Hopefully Billy Joe Carr and Billy Joe Winston can help turn things around.

Re: AINTS are back!!!
 

Yeah, we need the traumatized generation out of the way. It’s always a doomsday scenario.

Re: AINTS are back!!!
 

Yawn…Feel free to wallow in sorrow. We are a long way away from a 14 loss season like we were as the Aints. Maybe I’m wrong. Time will tell.

Re: AINTS are back!!!
 

Honestly, put the whole division in a bag. Nobody in this division is winning a playoff game. NFC Suck. We are just paying way more cap room to suck than the others. Falcons are blowing picks on low value positions. Panthers traded up to get a tiny QB and have no oline to protect him and no picks to get one. Bucs are a .500 type team but have to play the Eagles, 49ers, and Bills and will struggle to go 9-8 and then get killed in the playoffs. The winner of the this division should win some shiny golden bags.

Re: AINTS are back!!!
 

Reality people.... Reality. :beatnik: if you think this bunch can make the playoffs much less have a winning season.... Saints schedule is the easiest of the NFL...and uh, i will let the play and scores speak for themselves.

There will be opposing teams that are better than expected (and vice versa), but it's hard not to look at the Saints' 2023 schedule and be astonished at how easy it looks. For starters, the division is not at all daunting, with the Panthers (Bryce Young), Falcons (Desmond Ridder) and post-Tom Brady Buccaneers (Kyle Trask/Baker Mayfield) all in transition at quarterback. It's a similar sentiment with the four games against the AFC South. The Jacksonville Jaguars have Trevor Lawrence, but the Indianapolis Colts (Anthony Richardson) and Houston Texans (C.J. Stroud) will start rookies, and the Tennessee Titans aren't as intimidating as usual and could turn from Ryan Tannehill to Will Levis at some point. The Saints also will face a wide-open NFC North division that is without an elite team and no longer includes Aaron Rodgers. As for unique games, the Saints square off against the Giants, the Patriots and the depleted Rams. For added perspective on the Saints' light slate, a look at the latest Caesars odds shows that none of the top seven Super Bowl favorites is on their docket this season.

The other NFC South teams -- Falcons (second easiest), Panthers (fourth) and Buccaneers (sixth) -- join the Saints in having a light 2023 schedule. The Colts are set up with the lightest slate in the AFC, though that might not be enough to snag a wild card in a loaded conference.

Re: AINTS are back!!!
 

Who said playoffs? It was mentioned being the Aints again. You have to admit there is a big spectrum between playoffs and getting the number one pick.

Re: AINTS are back!!!
 

Again Yawn Map. Vikings, Carolina, Jets all have worse records than us. Calling in the Aints era when there are worse teams than you shows you have no conception of how bad the “Aints” truly were.

Re: AINTS are back!!!
 

okay.... much less a winning season.... i believe i stated as well. :beatnik:

Re: AINTS are back!!!
 

beg to differ.... i witnessed it from the saints inception to now.... trust me, this team is worse. :beatnik: and that is bad; especially with the supposed quality and talented players on the roster. Billy Kilmer had better days.

Re: AINTS are back!!!
 

The Saints Aint gonna be Aint enough to get Caleb Williams...

Re: AINTS are back!!!
 

another thing... I don't think playing for the number one pick should be a goal for any NFL team. :beatnik:

Re: AINTS are back!!!
 

Re: AINTS are back!!!
 

I'm not there yet. We are 2-2. It's not like we lost 4 straight games. We've come back from a much worse deficit many times in the past. We are talent rich. But poorly coached.

At this point, it's all on the position coaches to do their job!

Re: AINTS are back!!!
 

Traumatized generation? Rez come on man do some research before making a statement like that! I’m 63 and a Marine! I call it like I see it! This won’t end well for the organization and especially the fans!!!

Re: AINTS are back!!!
 

My opinion and I certainly remember the AINTS! I remember the organization from day one!!!

Re: AINTS are back!!!
 

Then. Check again if you think this team is as bad.

Re: AINTS are back!!!
 

The paper bags and Aints moniker started in 1980 during a 1-15 season. The team was 0-14 at one point. When we hit 14 losses then I’ll take anyone seriously when they start bringing up the “Aints” days.

Re: AINTS are back!!!
 

so not the point.... this team has abundant talent that should be winning and they are not.... the saints of the paperbag era team was not nearly as talented. quite the opposite. PaperBag saints were of TRUE Heart and passion for the game and were gallant... this bunch is ...meh. :beatnik:


.... whats up with that gay pizza commercial with Jordan.... :rofl: do something like Mean Joe Greene....at least. :beatnik:

Re: AINTS are back!!!
 

Sometimes, it just takes an Aints MOMENT (like what we did right before halftime), followed by losing the game against a team that is almost as bad as us AT HOME, preceded by blowing a 17 point lead in our previous game, with the “just keep doing what your doing” excuse for a head coach babbling on about “Let’s not even go there”, when asked if he plans to change up his strategy… and these moments add up.

A 1 - 15 record might look bad on paper, but this 2 - 2 has some condensed AINTNESS in it, and it ain’t lookin too good for the foreseeable future… but this is just a tired a$$ replay of our conversation from last year.

Re: AINTS are back!!!
 

...worse :beatnik:

Talented quality players, losing to teams not as talented; supposedly. Or, maybe it is all hype, and these players are just that.... hype.

Re: AINTS are back!!!
 

.....maybe next year. You see. just like the past. oh well. :beatnik:

Re: AINTS are back!!!
 

Maybe so, but far from the Aints, no matter how much you want them to be

Re: AINTS are back!!!
 

What’s “worse”, is it’s happening NOW. NOW is what matters, and we AINT what’s happening.

Re: AINTS are back!!!
 

This is a different era but I agree with you on this.

Re: AINTS are back!!!
 

We are not the Ain't of old but its hard to be the Ain'ts of old with the parity brought by a salary cap and free agency. However, we have a bunch of old men with old ideas running the show. What we are doing now is spending more future salary cap to be sub-mediocre now than any team has before in the history of the salary. If there was a formula to make a .500 team into a cellar dwellar, it would be to break the bank for mediocrity and spend all your money on a lost cause, hire a sub .300 head coach, and lock up an aging QB on the decline to a long term contract for big money when you are not 1 player away. We are trying.

Re: AINTS are back!!!
 

Carr
Kamara
Thomas
Jordan
Hill
Rasheed
Olave
Lattimore
Graham
Williams
...............:bng:

Pretty good roster...sure i missed a couple or more...
Reality - no touchdowns for more than 7 quarters.

It it were me, as one of them... I am not too proud or happy,,,??

:beatnik: but they all got bank from the fans donation to the NFL as in tickets and merchandise...some fans invested spirit and integrity as well.:bng:

Re: AINTS are back!!!
 

During the early years we'd kill to be a .500 team. We were the laughing stock of the entire league for 30 plus years.

Now we're merely mediocre. Its a long way from the Aint's returning.

Re: AINTS are back!!!
 

Not EVEN next year at this rate… This is dark.

Re: AINTS are back!!!
 

I do not "want them to be" It is just a reality, and unfortunately will be a long time before they are not. :beatnik:

Re: AINTS are back!!!
 

It's so bad.... that quido dude has yet to post a "rose colored" commentary on the Saints display of fine football play. :beatnik:

Re: AINTS are back!!!
 

I see it too often. All the Saints fans that saw the 70’s to the late 90’s bring up the Aint’s and the paper bags when we’re decades away from those days. 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.

Re: AINTS are back!!!
 

Y'all relax please. Reference to the Aints and bags is just a fun way to vent a little frustration, it's not meant to be a serious thing.

Re: AINTS are back!!!
 

anyone willing to say the "Saints will win this Sunday; guaranteed" ? It IS against the 1 win & 3 loss Patriots afterall. :beatnik:

Re: AINTS are back!!!
 

Dude might still be at the dome, mopping up the stadium for Gayle.

Re: AINTS are back!!!
 

Truth!
