A lil optimism and a lil reality for u guys

this is a discussion within the Saints Community Forum; Anybody think Philly or GB or Minnesota or Dallas or Arizona can't come to the Dome and win? HFA isn't going to mean anything if our boys don't start playing at a playoff level....

Yeah, there's a lot to be said about having a fear factor when teams come to your house. Teams aren't going to be scared to play there or timid. If Tampa can win here, you think Philly and GB who are excellent road teams are going blink an eye? Not at all.

Our guys worked so hard to make the Dome a place to be respected. And for them to basically throw it away today is just sad. I'm not one of these "fans" ready to pack it in but anyone who is discarding are last 2 losses is blind.

Re: A lil optimism and a lil reality for u guys

As the Giants blowout ended, the NY FOX station up here in NJ switched to the Saints game at the start of OT. As I stood in the kitchen at work (I'm a chef) and blessed myself before OT, the rest of my crew (mainly Giants fans) crowded around the TV and started their smack talk (yes, after their team just got whipped up on....typical Giant fans).
As TB kicked the game winner in OT, the kitchen erupted in a synchronized clatter which blew me away.
I turned to these clowns and said, "sure clap it up....but we're still the #1 team in the NFC. Normally by this time in the year, I'm wearing a bag on my head and watching hockey instead of football, so I'm going to enjoy it while I can.....even after 2 measly losses".

I agree we aren't playing well, and some things need to change, but come on.....we're 13-2!

Onto Carolina.....a dogfight in the trenches.
I'll actually be at this game.......look for the pyscho in end zone row 1 with a black #1 jersey with "NEW JERSEY" written on the back.
The loss gives them something to play for down there, so it should be a good game.

I was at a sports bar in South Dakota with a slew of Tampa Bay fans (and one overly cocky Minnesota fan) When TB kicked that field goal, the room erupted in cheers. My mom, also a Saints fan, put her head down and said, "This sucks. We should have won that."

I looked over at my mamma and told her, "It's ok, we can still get it next week. We're still in the playoffs." To which the Vikings fan spouted, "Well, you guys lost to a 3-12 team. So...." I whipped around and shot him the look of death and without missing a beat, snapped back, "Nobody asked you for your opinion. And how many games did YOU lose??"

My momma had to keep me from flying across the table and strangling him. Five years ago, these jockeys didn't give two sh*ts about New Orleans. Now they want the Saints to lose more than they want their own teams to win. But I am still optimistic we will come back from this nasty loss.
