it has been mentioned in other threads but i will repeat it. i visited this board regularly for a few years before starting to post. NEVER have i sensed such a positive vibe, excitement, and anticipation. it's on other boards too. the old dome is gonna be rockin' again- win, lose, or draw. what i had been screaming the past two years was CHANGE! it seemed like the same bumbling fumbling ways beset this team year after year. annoited as the most underachieving by the media for so long that they became flat out losers. they were erratic, sporadic, beating contenders, and losing to the worst teams in the league. there were all too few glorious moments that were obscurred by regular embarassing play. with payton from the parcells school of coaching i bet this might be the most dramatic turnaround in history of penalties by a team- pre snap ones at least! this time last year the bears n bucs were looking at the 4 and 5 picks in the draft. they turned around and won division titles. the nucleus is here to do the same. i don't mind if it takes payton a couple of years to learn the ropes of being a nfl head coach. i just wanna see good solid play again, not the hot 'n cold/ up 'n down MO that has been established the past half decade. a couple more key FA additions, successful trades, and draft and the there is no limit. only the first steps have been taken for the turnaround. but thank heavens we are seeing some legitimate steps that any serious fan can recognize. not just the same old song 'n dance. or was it song and fall down. anyhoo, in that radio interview thread brees actually said he could fell the love for him here (millions of it LOL). how bad he was wanted and how much he was believed in also. feel it baby. maybe after the storms and with the fans faith a new day is finally here.
