I attended the Super Bowl, the No Call game, and the game where Brees broke the passing record. Plus, do I really want to pay, not just $200 or whatever for a ticket, but another $500 for a flight, to watch DA and Carr try to shock the world by rising to 1-1 against Baker Mayfield or surviving an epic clash with Gardner Minshew? Unless I am in town anyway, thats a hard sell to watch the greatest show on chopping wood.

You’d have to add a whole lotta crack and Xanax to your tab, in order for that to even begin to be fun…

I did attend the preseason game against the Chargers last season. I would have liked to attend the regular season game against the Rams but a weeknight game just before Christmas was difficult timing. The game started at 515PM PST so I would have had to take time off work to get into the stadium on time. I planned to go if the team was on a role but 11 days before the game the Saints were 5-7 and when they made it back to 7-7 four days before the game, it was a little late to request time off work.
So, in other words, you have no real knowledge of what the Superdome's actual reactions were during games this season, correct?

As someone that was actually there I can tell you that Carmichael was highly criticized by the fans in attendance, far more so than the isolated booing from the handful of drunk idiots.

Bako, what Quid Kumbaya is trying to tell you, is if you were sitting with him puffing the same peace pipe, it would have appeared like we won our pathetic division, when we actually didn’t.

Looks like Saints re-sign S Johnathan Abram.

No thanks. The Saints don't have a strong enough leader in Dennis Allen to handle a diva Wide Receiver as evidenced by the Thomas departure. Beckham is similar to Antonio Brown and he'd likely blow this whole team up (which a few of our posters want).

I'd be shocked if the Saints are even remotely interested in OBJ.

Especially after all of the Mike Thomas drama.

Go draft another WR.

Me sayin “We need a new Head Coach” for two years, as if it actually means something, and so many on here shrug their shoulders or say they’re tired of hearing it. No matter how y’all stack it up, there will be pain next season.

You say that same thing almost every day on this site, of course posters tire from it. You and Guido are essentially the same person, one is just the mirrored reflection of the other.
