I’m not vetoing a restaurant choice. I am a disgruntled fan. That’s all.
And if you tell me to go find another team to root for, you don’t understand what being a true fan is.

Re: Reasons To Be Positive
 

Sure I do. But you've put yourself in an impossible position. The current Saints organization has drained all ability for you to see anything hopeful about the product. And there's nothing you can do about it. And likely nothing will be done to change the situation.

Even worse even if significant changes are eventually made, they make nothing close to guaranteeing that a championship will result.

But you promote championship caliber football as so important that it eclipses the organization. Many of us feel that true fans understand the current construction's limitations and hope for the best with the product on the field.

But alas you are stuck and we are stuck with you. But just like the 2024 Saints, I'm just trying to make the best of a bad situation here. Talking about how to possibly fix it is a sight better than just complaining that it's broken and that it should be fixed.

Re: Reasons To Be Positive
 

Well, we’re both (all) in an impossible position (except the millionaires that get paid to “entertain” us in this impossible position). You talking about how to fix it, while admitting that they won’t or can’t fix it… and me complaining about it, knowing that complaining will not fix it. But here we are. Gonna be a long season… possibly many more.

Re: Reasons To Be Positive
 

sure i have hope for the team... but it will not be a good season for this bunch. my cow tips her udder to you. :beatnik:

Re: Reasons To Be Positive
 

I don’t think they are even trying. I think Gayle is ready to wash her hands and sell. They won’t even sell out a home game this year.

Re: Reasons To Be Positive
 

LOL! The games are already sold out. You are so full of ****. :D

Re: Reasons To Be Positive
 

They have clearly found a way to keep money moving into the right pockets, while producing a bare minimum to continue to motivate people like Quido to make a ten hour round trip to shake pom poms at a mediocre product, and marvel at the stadium upgrades, while mopping up the restrooms.

According to Wiki, NFL Superdome seating is 73,208 (expandable to 76,468). According to ESPN: Average attendance in the Superdome = 70,020.
Good enough to for 12th in the entire league. My guess is that there were probably a few Sold Out games last season. No reason to believe that it won't happen this year as well. Just an educated guess, but it appears that ticket sales are NOT an issue.

Re: Reasons To Be Positive
 

We come out 3-0, the bandwagon will be PACKED

Re: Reasons To Be Positive

This is absolutely true.

By the way, the recorded attendance at NFL games are butts in the seats. Every game was sold out, but not all were fully attended. There are no general admission tickets available through the team box office, nor will there be for years to come. Every game is technically sold out for the foreseeable future given the long waiting list for season tickets. Any tickets purchased during the season are solely through third party vendors.

Re: Reasons To Be Positive
 

I expect the Saints to have the same number of both unsold tickets and playoff wins as Taylor Swift during the next 12 months. If this makes Taylor Swift a good football team it makes Dennis Allen a good head coach and Mickey Loomis’s 2018-2023 GM strategy good (Loomis has not done anything especially terrible this offseason YET though he could have done better too).

As to the forseeable future, it depends on your definition of forseeable. It costs nothing to join the season ticket wait list and you lose nothing if your name comes up and you decline. A large number of both season ticket holders and wait list members are probably out of town scalpers. Scalpers are only interested in making money and wont want to pay for tickets if they will take a loss on a doormat team nobody excited to watch. If fan sentiment goes negative enough it could easily be forseeable to me that 25,000 scalpers and 10,000 fans could drop their tickets, all 300,000 or whatever scalpers on the wait list could say no thanks, and even if 200,000 fans are on the wait list, it could be hard to get 35,000 of them to buy low and pay and thousands for season tickets to see Trevor Penning repeatedly audition for a lead role in Romeo and Juliet with his convincing on field rendition of the penultimate scenes.

Re: Reasons To Be Positive
 

Salient points…

Re: Reasons To Be Positive
 

Why not go update your goofy assed IHateLoomis.org or whatever you call it. You and your flunkies aren't going to kill this site as much as you all try.

:bng:

Re: Reasons To Be Positive
 

This site is fine. Relax.

Re: Reasons To Be Positive
 

Re: Reasons To Be Positive
 

Just keep trolling sinner guy. :D What a loser.

Edit: By the way, sinner guy, I can tell when you post without having to read your obvious ****.

:doh: :dunce:

Re: Reasons To Be Positive
 

Maybe just stop pretending to IGNORE me, and we might actually have a conversation about The Saints, instead of it always being about me.

Re: Reasons To Be Positive
 

Anyway....this thread is about reasons to feel good about the team. It's Saints football. Time to have hope! If you disagree why don't you open a thread of reasons to be pessimistic. This thread is supposed to get fans ready for some comradery and Saints football. :cheers:

Re: Reasons To Be Positive
 

This used to be such an enjoyable and informative site by some very knowledgeable people with all things Saints related. But like others on here I am another that is sick and tired of the personal back and forth bickering bullsh*t that high jacks every damned thread that gets started. I lay the blame on both sides. At least Quido tries to post informative information about the Saints most of the time but that doesn’t let you off the hook my friend. As for Sinner and a couple of others Quido is living rent free in y’all’s freaking heads. All you do is post negative this and negative that about the Saints and how they will never win under this regime or head coach or owner or GM or janitor or something in between jabs at Quido for existing but yet never, as another on here so aptly put it, offer any educated guesses or what if’s or what do y’all think should be done to field the kind of team YOU would like to see.
There used to be conversations like that all up and down this site. Now every time someone tries to start one like that y’all get started before the thread is barely two or three replies old. Y’all have systematically taken a once great site and turned it into a shell of its former self.
I swear y’all act like a bunch of high school girls sometimes.
It has gotten beyond old and it needs to STOP!!!
The occasional disagreement between two people is fine but y’all have made it a personal vendetta to attack each other at every opportunity.
Sinner, as for the team you want to have you go to war with the army you have not the one you wish you had. Maybe things will change to your liking over the next year or so but for right now we have what we have and we’ll have to wait and see how things shake out.
I for one am optimistic about the season. But I am not going to be so bold as to predict a winning season as if I know it’s going to happen just as you and others have guaranteed a losing season just because you don’t like the people running things. You could very well be right and we end up in the cellar. I don’t think that’s going to happen but I don’t know the future and neither do you. :bng:

Re: Reasons To Be Positive
 

Thank you. This is me. Right now. :roflmao:

Re: Reasons To Be Positive
 

Well said. What makes this site great, is the freedom to express exactly what we perceive and feel. I was a lot different on here when my Saints were A LOT different, and every week and every game had an energy that was full of possibility and a certain “fire”. That’s just me, although I know I’m not alone there.

What makes this site $uck, is when the team remains consistently mediocre, if not completely $ucky, NOT the bickering. The bickering is a byproduct of a lackluster product, which fans all process differently. The site is fine. The team is not, and you know it.

And no, I don’t go to war with the army I have, if the organization is a mess, and ill prepared. That would be a suicide mission. And I say that from personal experience.

Re: Reasons To Be Positive
 

You're either too arrogant or too foolish to get the point that many of us are making. You are almost single-handedly ruining this site with your constant posts in every thread about how this team sucks.

Re: Reasons To Be Positive
 

First of all, the site is just fine, and me being on “every thread” is an exaggeration on your part. Secondly, this site is about our team, not me. Try not to take things personally and then make things personal. Thirdly, it’s just a game. Chill. 😉

Re: Reasons To Be Positive
 

Amen.

Re: Reasons To Be Positive
 

When you are right... what can you say? Keep on keepin on! :beatnik:

Re: Reasons To Be Positive
 

No hate... just stating the facts and the obvious. me thinks you are seriously thin skinned and weak :beatnik:

Re: Reasons To Be Positive
 

not nearly as tiresome as your diatribe. and even moreso with your rumors.... what was it,.... Russell Wilson and food poisoning.... yeah that one :beatnik:

Re: Reasons To Be Positive
 

very similar to the beginnings on this Saints organization. We have become the "farm" team of the NFL again. :beatnik:

Re: Reasons To Be Positive
 

I am positive the Saints will start the season with either a win or a loss. either result will be false indicator of the true caliber of this current bunch. :beatnik:

Re: Reasons To Be Positive
 

Uhhh…ok. So I KNOW the team is not fine? Now you’re a mind reader to go along with your Nostradamus complex. You obviously don’t get the going to war analogy. So based on your opinion of that the team should just go home and forfeit the season. That’s like a country being invaded telling the invaders “Uhhh…we’re not going to fight because our army is not good so go ahead and ravage us and when our army gets better we’ll fight.”
Look Sinner, I said what I have to say and this is the only reply you are going to get from me. I will just skim past your posts to ones that are actually relevant. Because it’s obvious you don’t have a clue!
Good day to you.

Re: Reasons To Be Positive
 

Good day to you as well, my good man.

Re: Reasons To Be Positive
 

psssst..... just click ignore. don't go away mad, just,..... ya know the rest.

Re: Reasons To Be Positive
 

Proof positive this is EZ money for gayle. Why build a premier winning team, when she is making bank with a mediocre team? What was the baseball movie.... major league??? :beatnik:

Re: Reasons To Be Positive
 

psssst.... here is a clue.... use ignore or maybe chill buuuudddieee :beatnik:

Re: Reasons To Be Positive
 

Reality Moriarity .... Reality. :beatnik:

Re: Reasons To Be Positive
 

The IGNORE button just magnifies the font of the ignored.

Re: Reasons To Be Positive
 

More reason for Gayle not to sell or try to build a perineal winner. get it? :beatnik:

Re: Reasons To Be Positive
 

kinda speaks to me, that some posters are weenies and spineless....snow flakes maybe? :beatnik:

Re: Reasons To Be Positive
 

Same question to you as to Sinner. If it's so easy to build a premier winning team, then why don't you tell us exactly how to do it?

You don't get to victim blame here and say that Ms. Benson doesn't bother to do better because we as fans will accept whatever product the Saints organization fields.

Just recognize that neither of you have any clue how to put together a winning organization. It's simple to sit on the sidelines an boo. But even worse you both insist on hanging around here and continuously dump you doom and gloom upon us.

I'd like to hear your proposals on how to fix the Saints, since you've clearly identified all of the problems with them.
