Here's the deal. I have believed that the Saints have a very real chance at going to the playoffs this year. Many (you know who you are) have stated in no uncertain terms they believe that the Saints do not have a chance to get to the playoffs.

After 2 games I have not been proven right and the bashers ( and I use that word because it really does apply) have not been proven right either. The FACT is that no one can be proven right or wrong until the Saints are mathmatically eliminated from the playoffs.

I have no illusions that because we won one game that this means we are Super Bowl bound. I'm not that foolish. I also wasn't foolish enough to go around preaching that the Saints sucked after we lost to Seattle last week. I'm not here to call anyone foolish or to say "hey look I'm was right".

What I am here to say is it's going to be a roller coaster ride this year. Now, all of you can come on here after every loss and say how bad the Saints suck and I can keep telling you to be patient and keep giving you reasons why I don't think they are, or we can all have a little more patience.

Some members ( Rusta, smitty, lummOx, B&B, tweeky, saintsfan, JoeSam, nocloning) have criticised, but they DID NOT go around telling everyone how bad the Saints are going to suck the whole year. Now, some members have gone to great lengths not only to point out how bad the Saints have looked but to say that they will continue to be LOSERS the whole year.

If these first 2 games have told us nothing else, I would hope that it has told us that we need to have patience and let's criticise when justified and not go around saying some of the stuff that's being said.

Of course that's just my opinion and I really don't care what any of you say because I will continue to be the most optimistic person on this board.
