Brees Takes Fans to Task for Booing Kicker

exiled · 11-09-2007, 08:35 AM

I've always thought NOLA fans had a higher degree of class. Booing the guy is wrong any way you look at it.

before he even walks out on the field?

I have heard that kicking is 30% confidence.

Maybe if all kickers go through this - he'll snapp out of it soon and he'll have had his turn at a slump.

We need every weapon we can get right now.

Correct me if I'm wrong. The fans booed Mare when he came out for his second kick. He had already missed one, right?

Booing comes from frustration. You're talking about a fan base that had become used to Carney being automatic for so many years.

Frankly if Mare doesn't want to be booed, then he needs to do his job. AFAIC the only kick he gets a pass on this year is the 54 yarder for Carolina near the end of the game. He was hurt. It was long. We really needed him to make it, but the odds were against him. But all the rest of them are problematic.

We need a kicker we can trust. How would you feel right now if the Saints needed a 48 yarder with no time left to win the game?

Not a real good feeling right now to me.

Yeah, why don't we just starting booing him in pre-game warm ups. That's a big boost to his confidence. We are stuck with him (for now). It is our responsibility to take it on the chin this week and cheer this guy (untill he misses one).

booooooooooo!

Booing effect everyone. The point is why make matters worse as the home team. Simple and to the point. Do not look at this to deep. Either you can try to help the guy or not. What kind of fan are you? that is the question I put to you.

I just had a great idea. We could all stand up and do a silent boo. You know, stand up and just open your mouth, and instead of booing, pour some beer down your throat. See, that's why I get the BIG money around here. Man, I come up with some great ideas! If some of you guys could think of things like that, you too could be jet set members. LOL. LOL. Where in the world do I get this stuff?????? LOL

I need more coffee!

At seven dollars a beer and several misses, that could be expensive and mind numbing.

Yeah, but after a few, you wouldn't be thinking about Mare, it'd be the third Saintsation on the left! LOL

True. But he's all you have. Why boo him? Especially at home? Drew's right and it is counter productive anyway you slice it.

You wanna boo someone, it should be directed at the GM for letting this go on for as long as it has. I mean, lets face it: down by 2, with 3 secs left on the clock, Mare ain't my go to guy!
