New Orleans Saints players absolutely should believe team can finish undefeated

Saintsfan4ever · 11-05-2009, 01:55 AM

This is what eats at me; When the Patriots were on a winning streak in 2007 did we hear Patriot players singled out when they were asked about possibly going undefeated? NOOOOOOO! Instead it was more like "What will this mean to you if you go undefeated?" and stuff like " Do you think if you go undefeated it's more special than the Miami undefeated season because you play more games?"... ect. and so forth. It was never a question about Patriot players being over confindent or being cocky. But fast-forward to 2009 and all of a sudden it's an issue if a Saints player acknowledges the possibility of an undefeated season. Besides that, do you see microphones in Peyton Mannings face challenging him about a possible perfect season? NOOOOOO you don't.
I'd be thrilled with a 12-4 season. I'd be doing the 'snoopy happy dance' with a 13-3 season, BUT NOW I'M PRAYING FOR A 16-0 season JUST SO THOSE WASHED UP COACHES AND PLAYERS now wearing suits and hired to sit on a panel of so-called NFL EXPERTS and making issues out of non-issues WILL BE FORCED to STFU if we go 16-0! WHODAT and do mean WHODAT!!!!!

It would be kinda cool to serve a big tall drink of STFU to the class of '72.

....as long as we're dreaming ...

It's only 7 games. I wonder if the Pats were talking about going undefeated after only 7 games?

In that season, the Pats had not played the up until then undefeated SuperBowl Champion Colts. The undefeated talk didn't really get started until after the Pats won that game.

BTW IMHO the correct answer to any undefeated talk is "it's possible only because the Saints haven't lost a game yet."

Reggie Bush did not call a press conference to announce an undefeated season forecast, neither did he even bring the subject up. This was entirely a sports media created issue that did not originate from anyone associated with the SAINTS.
