What I'm Realistically Looking For This Season

But he didn’t, so he didn’t. And he doesn’t so he won’t. Deal with it. Oh that’s right, you do, and you will.

So, what happened to the whole "this season's schedule is going to be so much harder for the Saints" spiel?

Shocking the world AGAIN and beating the greatest QB playing and winning its second Super Bowl.

Why would a QB who has been in the league what 11 years have by far his most consistent season behind the worst oline he has ever played behind? Are offensive linemen just coming into the league a lot more polished and ready to start than ever before and the draft pick will be so good he can cover two rushers while switching to left tackle?

Would you care to also promise that Ryan Ramczyk is going to play 17 games and make the all pro team?

If we hit on all OL, meaning drafted and UDFAs, there is a chance, albeit small one. You never know, however.

27,000,000 in dead money. Probably worth a couple of pretty good players roggt there. Around here they call that a cap genius.

Around here some people are called trolls.

By the way, troll, I suppose you don't realize that the average dead cap figure for 2024 in the NFL is $25,877,681, huh? I guess the whole league is full of geniuses, huh?

I wish you wouldn't attack posters like that. I miss having spkb25 and other people around here. That's likely due to these petty attacks.

spkb25, if you haven't noticed over the years, has made it a point to attack me and the Saints as a team. I miss many others that have left for various reasons, but not this troll. Not one bit. He crossed the line when he boasted here about making fun of his Special Ed students and excused it because he said they thought it was fun. I'll never forget that. It was sick. It still turns my stomach.

All he's done since is tell us how much he thinks OUR team sucks. Check his signature. He disowned the Saints, if he was ever a fan to begin with, which I have never seen any indication of being the case.

So why don’t you try taking the high road and either set him to IGNORE, or scroll on? We’re not all sworn to be as enthusiastic about mediocrity as you are, and this forum allows for much needed venting. And there will be much more ahead, I assure you… So deal with it.

Honestly, ice, it's my fault for not having blocked the jerk like a couple of others that have nothing to contribute to the site.

My bad. Sorry!
