Anybody else about ready to pack it in?

Radio Saint · 12-27-2009, 04:40 PM

I won't pack it in, as I haven't packed it in for 40 years with this team, despite mostly losing seasons for decades. But I'm really disappointed right now. This was a pathetic effort today. It was almost like the team thought they only had to play one quarter of football and they would win it. I just don't understand how they can be so flat at this point in the season.

Yeah...I'm ready....To help you pack your stuff and get the hell on.....

Take it easy everyone. I was a Saints fan before this lucky run, and I'll be one even if it's over. Just the same, I understand the feelings and frustrations of those who've been disappointed in this team over the years. This year will be the single most disappointing Saints season of all time if we continue to play as we have been.

If anyone can be sympathetic to being crushed by this team, it's long time Saints fans. Those of you who are playing the "get the hell out card", you strike me as those who don't know what it's like to be destroyed by this team over and over again. If you've been a fan as long as I have, you understand the emotions those people are writing here and you also know that they'll be back and drinking the kool-aid again next year.

Anyone who wants to give up on this team is not a fan. It's pathetic to even say something like that. I promise you I could just freak out right now I am so pissed but to make a statement like that is just stupid and if you feel that way, like I said no one will miss you.

I'm not giving up.

Zona looked like crap the last few games of last year and everyone had them as a one and done too...

29 years of 34 of my life following these guys, only because I don't remember years 1-5 too well. Let us old folks gripe and get off your sanctimonious cloud of thinking everyone is a bandwagon fan. We've paid our dues, dude.

Which is exactly the point.....If you have been a fan as long as you state, you know how bad most of the years have been. We are 13-2, stinking it up like hell, but in the playoffs.... We still have a new season to play and as pissed as I am right now I will be in my same seat next week and for out first playoff game. I've damaged so many things over the year pulling for the Saints i'm surprised my parents did put me out when I was younger. With that said, I have cursed and said many other things BUT NEVER that I'm ready to move on....

cajunvoodoo · 12-27-2009, 05:07 PM

B&G in the supabowl dammit. Bring it back. Next week is a new game with more to prove. Just had a bad day. That's all. We'll get em in the 4th quarter of the season. Here we come.

No, the point is that by your description you've basically thrown temper tantrums over the Saints in years past - by definition doing things you wouldn't do or say under less emotional circumstances. They are doing the same thing right now. It's doesn't make you morally superior or a better fan just because you break crap instead of ranting and saying things you don't mean on a message board. Call them on it? Sure, but cut them some slack and recognize a kindred spirit. Only Saints fans have been through the ringer like this over the last 43 years.

Totally agree. Add 7 years to your numbers and that's my story.

"Bandwagon fan" is a phrase reserved for SaintsReport.com and the cultists that live there that think a loss like today is either "fine and dandy" or you must be a bandwagon fan.

The men in the Saints locker room need to be equally as ****ed as the fans on this forum and then maybe we'll have something next week.
