To the Boobirds
 

Hey, here's an idea: let's wait till Mare misses the FG to start booing him. How do you expect ANY kicker to come on and make a kick when everyone in his own stadium is booing him just for coming onto the field? I know the guy really sucks, but atleast wait till he misses it.

Re: To the Boobirds
 

Yes, that was uncalled for.

Re: To the Boobirds
 

Well he missed two............CAN I BOO NOW!!!!!!!!

Re: To the Boobirds
 

It would be like booing a dropped pass, or a missed tackle - just not called for. Neither were chip shots: 43 and 54. Cheer for him next time and see what happens.

Re: To the Boobirds
 

Brees was upset the fans were booing, if you want ot boo do it after a miss field goal, not before..
Uncalled for, Payton shaking his head after the last miss FG said it all..

Bye-bye Mare...

Re: To the Boobirds
 

no its not ANYTHING like booing a dropped pass or a missed tackle. It's like booing a dropped pass when you are open in the endzone or a missed tackle at the five for a TD. How many dropped pass at the 50 cost you points? NONE! How many missed field goals cost you points? ALL OF THEM! Mare can't kick. He is a done for. Let him go. I don't blame anyone for booing. When your kicker is under 50% on field goals, and he is still getting paid, it is time he gets booted.

Re: To the Boobirds
 

agreed...screw him. he needs to EARN his cheers. he gets no sympathy from me. pathetic.

Re: To the Boobirds
 

I think Payton can see for himself that Mare is not the answer.

I think the fans are only hurting their team by booing it. I don't agree with booing a player who is trying to do the right thing and help his team win games (he just obviously doesn't have the ability to be accurate). I DO agree with booing a player who has become a cancer. Mare just needs to be parted with amicably to find a job. Vanderjact please?

Re: To the Boobirds
 

Think of it not so much the fans booing Mare but that they are booing the field goal attempt which is most likely going to fail...

Re: To the Boobirds
 

I agree Mare needs to go, he is way too inconsistend. However, Vanderjagt scares me a bit. From what I understand, he tends to miss in pressure situations. Still, he would be an improvement.

Re: To the Boobirds
 

I still do not agree with booing the team you like.

Re: To the Boobirds
 

Where were you guys earlier when I graded our 12th man with a big fat F.
You are right. Look he is not the answer and he wont be here next year, probably. But he does one thing very well, kicks the crap out of the ball and makes our special teams look good. If you boo him on field goals then you have to cheer him every time there is a touch back. There are not many kickers that can do what he does there. Or sit the F down and shout up. Right now he needs support. The boo birds are only making things worse. You might as well wear the other teams colors. For better or worse we are stuck with him. So why help the visitors out. I bet you boo the kids on the little league teams too. Support is needed not jeers. You are making matters worse.
Who is out there anyways? Another kicker that is so so and can not reach the end zone on kick offs? I will pass thank you. I can not believe I am defending OMare. I never liked the trade. This is wrong and plan stupid for the fans to do.
Fans in NO still have a lot to learn about being a 12th man. On day they have the faith. To many years of losing I guess. Bad habits die hard.

Re: To the Boobirds
 

thank you Hagan,

Also, Mare deserves a huge pat-on-the-back for that on-side kick that was perfectly executed.

Re: To the Boobirds
 

Well said Will!

Re: To the Boobirds
 

Agree 100% with you...couldn't have said it better myself!

Re: To the Boobirds
 

Hes getting tough love. When he makes FGs I will cheer until then I will boo the hell out of him.

Re: To the Boobirds
 

I'm a bit torn, but I'm going to have to agree that booing the guy before he executes is pretty low class. He's the guy and he's on our team and we're counting on him to deliver.

Booing after is fine. Boo Payton for keeping him. Don't boo the correct decision to try a fg in game situations.

Re: To the Boobirds
 

In this case the unknown scares me less than the known. Mare scares the hell out of me. He can't kick right now and we don't have time to sit around and wait for him to get his head on straight. This guy will cost us games.

Re: To the Boobirds
 

true enough sam but you have to accept the fact he is what we got. booing does not help him out at all. he is shaky enough already.

Re: To the Boobirds
 

I'll try to put this in perspective. First and foremost fans do not like bad performing players. Second, New Orleans fans have barely ever tasted succes so their (and mine obviously) tenacity for success is only stronger. I do disagree with booing a guy before he kicks it but he has been doing real bad. Saints fans have done this before. I'll never forget the day Wade Wilson went down with an injury. Do you remember what happened? Well.....while he was down....we started cheering. It was awful. Our fans have done some really dumb things in the past....BUT....given our teams track record and the patience we have all exerted from the years and years of suffering.....what can you expect? Its not easy being a Saints fan. We are at the point where when something threatens our success.....we get mean about it. Why? Because we are desperate for it. All these factors unfortunately lead to behaviors like the ones we saw yestarday.

Re: To the Boobirds
 

The problem is we were used to Dempsey, then Automatic Andersen for years. Nobody else has come close. We expect FG tries to be FG's, period the end.

Re: To the Boobirds
 

i think mare will go 3 for 3 next week vs rams

disclaimer: This prediction only counts if he is still on the team :)
