Re: Reasons To Be Positive
My complaining is like a loyal fan whose team has been consistently disappointing us since Drew was in decline and Sean Payton started packing his bags. You said that the sky wasn’t falling and that we should give it more time to develop, and you’re saying it again this year. Even a 12 year old girl has got the brains to know that you can’t put lipstick on this pig, and call it a supermodel. Do you have the guts to see it for what it is?

Re: Reasons To Be Positive
There hasn’t been fair weather in a long time, and I am as loyal as ever, but the Saints front office has been anything but loyal to its fans. Perhaps you might want to redirect your personal attack to management, instead of at a fan for calling it as it is.

Consider the negative source, '76.

Re: Reasons To Be Positive
Consider that the negative source is a failing front office, and tell your wallet to IGNORE them for awhile. Until then, you’d be wise to beef up your IGNORE button for me, because there WILL be pain.
See, I’m frustrated with my team for underperforming, while you’re frustrated with me for being frustrated. |

So, you clear out what you consider to be the current mess. Then what? Who do you bring in to give you the championship caliber squad you so desperately want?
An you just can't wash your hands of it and say "Well, that's Mrs. Benson's problem to solve." If she had the capacity to solve that problem, then she would have done it. You are asking her to dismiss a leadership team that brought her and her husband (and us fans BTW) great joy by bringing a Championship to New Orleans. If it were easy, or even possible, to recreate the GM,HC,QB leadership squad that got a championship, don't you think that she, and 30 other teams in the NFL would do that? Let's not forget that leadership team got to the top of the mountain once. That same group failed to reach the top 14 other seasons. So, fine, get rid of Dennis Allen, Mickey Loomis, Dennis Lauscha, and even Mrs. Benson and all the players. But with no plan of how to fill that void, and I doubt that you have one, all of your complaining is really just a waste of time. And none of this is wanting to settle for mediocrity. It's just operating in the reality that none of the above people will be going anywhere before the end of the 2024 regular season. So, it's just more productive to discuss what these people can do, instead of complaining about what they can't when there's absolutely nothing that be done about getting rid of any of them in the forseeable future. What I want to hear from you: Get rid of Dennis Allen. Replace him with ______________. Carr has got to go. Draft/Trade/Sign for ________________. Get rid of Mickey Loomis. Replace him with _____________. Get rid of Lauscha. The new team president needs to be _____________. Have Mrs Benson sell the team. Sell the team to ________________ But you don't even try to fill in the blanks. Clearly for a championship team you feel the need to replace these people. So, exactly who are they? Who out there is actually going to make the difference you are looking for? BTW I don't have a clue to these blanks either. But like the others I'm hoping we can roll with the current squad and make some progress. Sometimes the injury bug stays home, units like the offensive line gels, and new system and new spark on the offensive side can make a difference. There is a reason that the NFL turns over a minimum of 6 playoff teams each and every year. Will that be the 2024 Saints? Maybe or maybe not. But unlike you, I'm not going to just walk away from the entire 2024 season because the personnel that's currently in place is absolutely not to your liking. SFIAH |

So I drop in to vent to other fans about what I am (or am not) witnessing with a team that I have followed and rooted for for decades.
It’s too bad that that’s not what you want to hear from me. You either get to hear me vent, or scroll on, or set me to IGNORE (almost like Quido LOL) until our team is owned by someone who cares about putting a winning professional football team on the field. I wish we didn’t have to even have this conversation… but here we are… again. |
