No longer suckered in...

In years past, I would have been super pumped that the Saints could win yesterday at home against a mediocre Rams team and would have been double excited about the game to know going in that the division leader dropped their game.


A win by the Saints and they are only 1 game out of 1st in the division!


LOL I've seen that movie far too many times. The Saints once again choked and failed to help themselves in a WEAK division.


Admit it - if you have followed this team for 5 or more years you knew it was coming.




We've done just bad enough to miss out on a chance to win a piss poor division by a couple of stupefying losses and just good enough to miss a top 10 draft pick by a couple of meaningless wins.

Lady Gayle has established a losing culture, and as Guido says, “It’s not about winning” and “There’s nothing we can do about it.”

Re: No longer suckered in...

I've watched that many Saints games that I know that a long, time consuming, scoring drive by the opposition is immediately followed by a 3 and out by us.

They just aren't good enough to do anything meaningful. Division has been up for grabs for years and they just don't want it.

Shame really. The more they deny the rebuild, the longer we'll be below average.

Maybe y'all just need to move on to another team that you think is run the right way.

Or maybe our team needs new ownership, so our energy investment pays off.

Re: No longer suckered in...

We all knew and expected a reset following the departure of Brees then Payton.

We're just p!$$ed off by Loomis's seemingly stubborn unwillingness to realize it himself.

I'd venture to say Loomis marched along on his own personal vanity project to prove the last 15 years weren't just about #9 or the head coach...

Now it's so painfully obvious that the demur owner had to step in and fire his buddy buddy which Loomis was clearly not in favor of.

Yeah, things suck right now and you know what? It's OKAY to b!tch about it.

Even if this team were to win the division it doesn't really matter. We aren't even close to sniffing on a Super Bowl. Sadly, it could have been at home this year. But it tis what it is.

Go Lions!

My Dad is from Michicgan. I've always been a Lions fan on the side since Barry Sanders days growing up.

It'd be cool to see a team lose their Super Bowl virginity and break through - Lions, Vikings, Bills, Chargers. It's been awhile and the last one was the Eagles which was just gross.

Gotta love the Bills/Bills Fans - watching them getting it done in blizzard conditions is special.
