this is a discussion within the Saints Community Forum; I agree with the whole mantra that the games are won on the lines, but this was one of the best damn offensive lines in the NFL last season. How did they get so bad so fast?...

The flaws were there they just looked good stat-wise but the flaws were there. Good O-lines will battle and look good no matter what. They will keep you in the toughest of games... that did not happen last year. The tough games they folded like paper. People have had an entire off-season looking at how to beat the Saints and now everyone follows the others in game planning against us. |

To say that Brees and everyone else made the O-line look good is ignorant. To say that a 10-6 year was a fluke year is ignorant. We were the second best team in the NFC last year because we earned it. Get a clue before you start comoing on here with all this crap.

What is ignorant is people like who live in a fantasy land all the time and fail to see the same problem I have been preaching for years. Manning - Brady, whomever they have lines that win... I could careless they get sacked from time to time but year in and year out where the hell are they??? IN THE PLAYOFFS. Get a clue. Before you say anything else stupid and ignorant why don't you learn the game of football and then come talk to me. |

Re: Bandwagon: THANK YOU!!! See you soon.
Everybody is so touchy...Relax. Ok...the O-line and D-Line suck....OK!
It's funny (sad) to me when fans accuse another fan of being a bandwagoner. It don't matter to me when someone started being a saints fans (the more the merrier). We all have suffered through the pain of being a fan...so to the new guys....Welcome to our misery!! It makes me (or nobody else) better just because I've been rooting for my home team longer than someone else. We lose 3 games to start the season and we start calling each other ignorant, and claiming that we are better fans than someone else...thats childish...to me. These are the kinds of things that "Loosers" do. We are not loosers...our club is just playing bad football right now. We still have a chance at the division. So if it makes you feel better to call folks bandwagoners (which I guess makes you a better fan) ENJOY! In my opinion it just brings a negative, non-inclusive, argumentative energy to blackandgold. But like I say...whatever makes you feel better. |

You're just proving my point that you don't have a clue by responding to comments I didn't make. I do agree (and never disagreed) that they are playing terribly this year.![]()
I'm sorry if I hurt your feelings, but I do stand by what I said about them being ignorant statements. And by the way, thanks for the suggestion...the sandwich was delicious. |

Blast someones comments or opinions for no reason what so ever nor prove or show facts to make your points. Just running at the mouth with no facts to prove your points... that is an ignorant stance you have taken. They got lucky and over achieved last year and that has been proven by there play last year in some games and obvious by there play so far this year and an 0-3 record thus far. |

You're actually saying that an offensive line in professional football just got lucky for a whole season? What, whenever we played a team they're whole defensive line would just actually fall over an accident? I don't think so dude. And if 0-3 proves that they're terrible this year, then how does 10-6 not prove they were good last year? 10-6, that is my fact to prove my point. Luck is for one game, not 10. 11 if you include playoffs.

Why cannot you be happy with our achievement in 2006, which was granted by God, and be content to return to your/our normal horrible-ness? Why do you insist on questioning the gods on such things? Accept that, as a Saints fan, you will dwell amongst the bottom-feeders, and be content with your FATE . . . as I have learned to be content. |
