Saints' Staff are Gamblers

Question is:

Do you prefer not taking a risk such as when Mora was here playing the percentages, teasing us with 10-6 records and never winning a playoff game, but being "respectable" to...

Seeing a chick with a nice rack with a F&#@ Da Eagles shirt, watching a power running back finish off a team in Quarter No. 4, just stuffing the living $#!% of it down the opponents throat and winning a playoff game against a larger market...

Americans take Risks, that's how this country became Great...

While Finks was here picking the talent and Mora was coaching and Sidwell was running the D, that was THEE most impressive team the Saints have fielded. IMO

It was fun watching Deuce beat the Eagles in the playoff game, but the 06 Saints were not the best Saints team IMO.

If you prefer roller coasters, then so be it.

I am more impressed with teams that go to the playoffs year in, year out.

Eagles, Pats, Colts, Steelers and the like.

Hey, call me a conservative.

And Lee Greenwood, please! - He is a nice guy, but he should leave music to musicians.

Sidwell was the key under Mora, not so much Jim himself. Remember Mora inherited a ton of talent from Bum Phillips too. Unlike most I do not give Mora that much credit.

yes the playoff game was great but I like the victory against the eagles during that season better. The 8 Minute Drive to win the game was a work of art.

I agree. Conservative takes time. I give this rebuilding thing two more years till we are young enough and deep enough to start thinking along these lines of being a dominate force year in and year out. I still say this going to be a key year to measure how far we have come. I can not wait. Lets see what we got on the bench.

Yes that was a piece of art and we did it to the perfect team. Beatem and kept them beat.
But the philli game was a game that champions must have. drive the ball and eat up the clock. Then put the nail in the coffin as the clock runs out. That is a true test of character. 8 minute drive are you kidding me to win the game. I watch that drive all the time. I still find it unbelievable.
