You can keep talking about ME all you like, I am here to talk about my Saints!

No you're not. You here to dump on the Saints. You are worse than the worst FailClown fans that I have ever encountered, and I've lived here in Atlanta for more than 40 years.

Fine. If you want to "talk about your Saints." then name exactly one positive thing that you see in the 2024 squad. Just one single encouraging thing that may pan out this year.

You've already posted about how Carr underachieves, and how Allen is an absolutely horrible coach. And that's in the last 1/2 hour.

Can you see even a glimmer of hope in the 2024 squad? If not, how can you really call yourself a fan? Because you fanatically only want an exciting team that wins championships?

I await this one with baited breath.

Please… UN-BAIT your breath. I don’t want you to hurt yourself.

You might have forgotten that the New Orleans Saints finished last season with a winning record. They were 9-8.

It would have been more fitting if they found a way to finish 8-8-1 because since the end of the Sean Payton/Drew Brees era the Saints have settled into boring mediocrity with no end in sight.

They're 25-26 the past three seasons. They have a quarterback in Derek Carr who is 33 years old and has a $150 million contract, but Saints fans never seemed to embrace him during his first underwhelming season in New Orleans. They have a head coach in Dennis Allen who seems likely to be on the hot seat at the end of each season, only to survive to the chagrin of the fans. The Saints' top two highest-paid players for most of the offseason, in terms of salary-cap hits, were running back Alvin Kamara and tight end Taysom Hill before Hill restructured in late spring. Kamara's best days seem behind him and he plays a devalued position, and Hill will be 34 and is the pet project of a former head coach who hasn't been on the Saints' sideline since the end of the 2021 season. Hill's restructure in mid-June cleared up salary-cap space and pushed a larger cap hit to the future. That's what the Saints do.

Nope. I knew you couldn't do it. This is just wrapping up your complaints with damningly faint praise. So faint that you need a microscope to even catch a whiff of it.

I guess my breath will continue to be baited.

Do you think the 2024 Saints will also have a winning record? Let's try there.

SFIAH

Let’s try this… a “winning record” matters about as much as what I think.
And no… “woulda shoulda coulda” DOES NOT fix anything. Clearly.

Not true. If one understands what mistakes were made at the time, then one learns not to make those same mistakes again.

You have records to compare. Guys that came to our building 3 years ago when elsewhere and did stuff. Did you like the stuff that they did? Does that stuff look like championship caliber stuff.

Just off the cuff: Doug Pederson. Went to Jacksonville. Would the Saints have been able to sniff a championship with that guy?

Is there anything positive if the 2024 Saints win one more game and go to the playoffs? I know your answer, but I ask anyway.

I mean at this point if I could just get you to say that you like the way Janitors clean the restrooms it would be a win.

I'm just proving the point that you are incompatible here. You are like anti-matter in terms of being a supposed Saints Fan. You cannot find one single redeeming quality to the team that we now have. I really don't understand why you are here. You should be so disgusted with what you see in the Saints, that you should not ever want to talk about them or participate in anything involving the organization.

And that's exactly how you act: an anti Saints fan using the cloak of wanting to see the team to be better to continuously trash the organization.

Keep going. Everyone will tire of your BS soon enough. In fact, they already have.

Why do you feel compelled to try to get me to say anything, or to try to get me to stop saying anything? It is a futile endeavor. I say what I say. There are literally hundreds of other threads in this forum, that I am not involved in. Your fascination with me personally, is obscuring your view of reality.

I have said plenty. I will say plenty more.
