If you're going to give up

Hey Saints, if you're going to give that kind of effort against the 4th worst team in the NFL and blow your largest lead in 20 years, at least have the dignity and self respect to refund the ticket price of the loyal fans who showed up to witness that gutless excuse for an NFL football team.

Don't talk to me until you've either forked over cash or won 4 games in a row. You can start now.

Nope. I'm with XAN on this one... This game was supposed to be redemption. Against an EASY opponent. I'm disappointed and not making excuses.

I for one, havent had my hopes up all year...because im a saints fan and my dreams are ALWAYS crushed...so im not upset, just dissapointed . This is NOT the time of the year as a team you take a downward spiral if your going anywhere. we will be one and done...regardless if we blow out Carolina next week and everyone hops back on our wagon..pffft

I mean...even the lions and rams have got thier one wins year after year after year against good teams, that doesnt make those team crap. It just means they arent going to win it all...I dont know what that has to do with anything now that i think of it...too much wine, its been a long day

I don't know. Maybe I'm dilusional, but I just don't see why everyone is going into panic mode.

I won't make excuses and spout off reasons why we didn't win, (because we SHOULD HAVE) but getting let down year after year has taught me to expect the worst. And now that we are doing so well, it's all new.

Everyone has a bad week. It's the NFL. Any given Sunday. I'm not going to throw up my hands and be done with New Orleans over two games. I hope this loss sets an example to the team that they aren't invincible. Maybe next week, we will kick it in gear and EARN that playoff berth. Either way, I'm proud of the feat we've accomplished this year. In my 25 years of fandom, I've never seen our team THIS good, or anywhere close!
