Your favorite excuse line's

B_Dub_Saint · 11-01-2009, 10:58 AM

Well through out the weeks we have all read garbage on other forums for our success. I wanted to start this thread to see just how many excuses we could come up with on why we are winning. Everyone just put one a piece to see how many we can conjure up.

Here is mine

1. The problem with the Saints is that they are "peaking" too early...

hhahahahahahahaha

This is my favorite one from Eagles fans

2. We would have won if McNabb had played.

I think the old refs called the game is one of my favorites.

The Saints are really just a finesse team that got lucky with the schedule.

4. Saints suck.

Don't look now, but the ESPN portal is calling us "pass-happy". This now that we're pretty balanced ... have they watched a game this year?!

5. All of our players are hurt

*yawn*

Did too much
Didn't do enough.
Relaxed

Had fewer injuries
Played through the pain
Waited for his concussion to heal

I'll add "had the QB not made BM in his pants upon seeing Roman Harper closing in on him" to your list.
