No longer suckered in...

There is losing, and then there is LOSING.

"losing" is when you get outplayed or outcoached by a team on a given day, regroup, then bounce back. Fans can digest those losses and move along for the most part.

LOSING is a cultural/habitual/inexplicable thing. You lose to teams that you should not. You don't lose due to a great play by the other team but instead due to sheer incompetence on the part of your team. Your players can't be consistent. Fundamentals are missing. Coaching is subpar. All the breaks seem to go against you. And yet your organization seems to be asleep at the wheel, foot to the floor, headed off a cliff.

We are doing the later... It is not acceptable.

If your goal as Saints brass is to have asses in seats at the Dome, then you better do something. Either outreach to visiting teams fans or improving the talent level on the Saints.
