It just seems that even though WE WON, they are still posting the Saints in an unfavorable light EVERY CHANCE THEY GET! You gotta laugh it off ... but come on ....

I hear ya SM. I'm glad we're giving them less negative highlight reels to feature us in!I really hope another year of us dealing the damage to opponents instead of us being the brunt end of the joke will start tipping the scales to our "highlight" benefit...Charles grant LOL the tides are turning slowly but surely!Who-Dat

The media hates me

Re: Is the media still purposely posting unfavorable looking Saints pics?
 

The media sucks!we'll have better press coverage this year and they'll still have bad press coverage! Is jerry "skeletor" jones paying them too?

Re: Is the media still purposely posting unfavorable looking Saints pics?
 

What they don't realize is that after he ran past Grant, Brees threw a laser at Brown's nuts.

Re: Is the media still purposely posting unfavorable looking Saints pics?
 

Dear media,

Bite me....hard and long.


Sincerly,
Sapper

Re: Is the media still purposely posting unfavorable looking Saints pics?
 

because we arent getting better

Re: Is the media still purposely posting unfavorable looking Saints pics?
 

I'd say saving 6 million while dumping a bitter and often injured OT that is not needed and a DE that is better at hurting QB's than sacking them is getting better.

Re: Is the media still purposely posting unfavorable looking Saints pics?
 

You're being pessimistic.

Re: Is the media still purposely posting unfavorable looking Saints pics?
 

I think that's a reference to an article by some wacko from SI.com.

Re: Is the media still purposely posting unfavorable looking Saints pics?
 

im trying to look at what we've done this offseason and trick myself into thinking we've improved

im struggling at it right now

Re: Is the media still purposely posting unfavorable looking Saints pics?
 

thats what i'm thinking is alex brown that much better than mccray? for one, is a reconstruted knee on lb ingram better than fujita? are we really getting better. maybe at backup cornerback like robinson.

Re: Is the media still purposely posting unfavorable looking Saints pics?
 

All in do time, all in due time my friends. Lol young talent not coming "out the woodworks",but we have a few up and comers.Sean Payton and Gregg Williams will find a way to win no matter what I believe!Two-Dat to the Saints hating mediocre media!They may slow our well structured team but they'll be major reprocussions for interfearing with our path to recognition of being the TEAM to beat!Choke on it media just Choke on it;they'll be force fed the obvious;no pun intended.LOL

Re: Is the media still purposely posting unfavorable looking Saints pics?
 

The media just doesn't care any more..............Oooooooops wait thats just me.

Re: Is the media still purposely posting unfavorable looking Saints pics?
 

Kinda like when you thought we'd struggle w/o Faine? :p

Fujita's spot needed an upgrade. We have like 20 LB's on the roster...

Brown wasn't in the future plans and Charles Brown was drafted to eventually supplant Bushrod.

More youth/depth was added to the O and D lines.

We have the offense intact.

We resigned Sharper.

Our secondary is stronger.

Grant & McCray out - Brown & Wilkerson in.

Now, I still believe - as I think you do - that our D line needs more depth.

I'm trusting (given it's history) that our coaches have a plan to improve it.

Re: Is the media still purposely posting unfavorable looking Saints pics?
 

And let's stop crying about the media.

We won the Superbowl. That makes some people happy and some angry.

Don't you think the media will use those emotions to sell stories????

Who cares man.

Re: Is the media still purposely posting unfavorable looking Saints pics?
 

Media... smedia ...wikipedia..encyclopedia......its all the same...

Re: Is the media still purposely posting unfavorable looking Saints pics?
 

who is that guy on the ground...#94 Grant...He played for us?

Re: Is the media still purposely posting unfavorable looking Saints pics?
 

yeah ... YEAH........ Y E A H !


F%#@%!*&^%$#@$# The Media!

Re: Is the media still purposely posting unfavorable looking Saints pics?
 

well.....he was on payroll

Re: Is the media still purposely posting unfavorable looking Saints pics?
 

I agree SF, we will be fine. Brown didnt play anyway and we still went all the way. Fujita was average and went to a team that overpaid. The only loss Im slightly worried about is McCray and Im sure the staff has a plan.
Robinson, Brown, Graham...Im already smelling improvment...

What's it going to take for some of you guys to stop doubting our organization?

FV

Re: Is the media still purposely posting unfavorable looking Saints pics?
 

amazing that our starting LT gets traded but its not as big an issue as a backup DE with limited playing time

you guys wonder why the media looks down on us as a team. its because we make stupid decisions like we've been doin this offseason

our team is very good. but its not getting better by subtracting players and the players we brought in arent improvements over the players we had last season

we drafted a LT that is a pass blocker ONLY.....he isnt very strong. we arent going to alternate LTs every play to make up for the loss of brown....we cant put in a rookie LT every time we need to pass and put in bushrod every time we need to run

Re: Is the media still purposely posting unfavorable looking Saints pics?
 

i wasnt here when we lost faine....but goodwin is not the center we need. im tired of not being able to run up the middle because goodwin cant handle a NT

upgraded? by picking up who? we have a lot of LBs yes....but are they better than fujita? who can say

it kinda looked like brown was in the future plans until the team didnt show him the respect he deserved.....they tendered him so he could play this season.....not so they could trade him

sweet....depth is great......now all we need is starters

Re: Is the media still purposely posting unfavorable looking Saints pics?
 

Wait, what....Bushrod was TRADED!!??

Let's see here...

Bring in a top GM - check
Bring in a great head coach - check
Bring in a Pro Bowl QB - check
Draft quality starting players more often than not - check
Break records for wins, wins in a row, passes, yards, td's, etc... check
Bring in the top Def coordinator in the NFL - check
Completely turn a losing franchise around in three years - check
Win the franchises first ever superbowl - CHECK

What am I missing here?

Alex Brown is better than Grant. Wilkerson is a welcome addition.

I am - like you - concerned about our current depth on the D line.

Let's reserve judgement for the rookies until we see them play.

I said "eventually" supplant Bushrod.

Re: Is the media still purposely posting unfavorable looking Saints pics?
 

lol funny guy. what happens when you trade away the better player for what the worse player was worth?

the positives are there....and we are definitly a good team. but have we gotten better since winning the championship? does the recent history we've had outshine the terrible history we have had as a team and an organization

how does lack of progress this offseason provide any source of hope for this season at all? im all for being optimistic when its the right time...ive defended a lot of players when nobody else would.....but is it worth being unrealistic?

in what way?

Re: Is the media still purposely posting unfavorable looking Saints pics?
 

Brown was trying to demonstrate the use of a Vuvuzela to the Bears. And is he not like this guy here.

Re: Is the media still purposely posting unfavorable looking Saints pics?
 

Yes, you were bc I clearly remember giving you **** for missing him! LOL Don't you remember me telling you to take your Faine Poster off your bedroom wall??? :p

Time will tell. Look, we couldn't draft any of the stud LB or DE's we wanted - and I'm glad we passed on Kindle. But don't forget about the guys we have on the roster - they may surprise you!

What does anyone really 'deserve' in the NFL, anyway?? He played. He was payed. He couldn't play, he wanted more pay (and a long term deal) and the organization had other priorities...

Maybe he should've taken a page from Payton when it comes to sacrificing salary for the greater purpose.


That's what I felt when we drafted all of our late round and UDFAs who are now starters and in the Probowl....

on opening day, re-retire brett farve-check
keep this going everyone

Re: Is the media still purposely posting unfavorable looking Saints pics?
 

3+ million isn't respect? Brown would have a long term deal if (a) he wasn't injured and hadn't missed the entire season and the Saints hadn't won a Super Bowl without him and (b) the NFL labor situation wasn't what it is currently.

Respect my :censored:. Brown got his feelings hurt, and now he's playing RT for a different team for the SAME money. Eff Brown...

Re: Is the media still purposely posting unfavorable looking Saints pics?
 

i came after he had already signed with tampa....i was and am still pissed about how that went down because we are not willing to pay the players that have earned the money.....i feel like thats why teams like the lakers, dallas, indy, etc continue to have success while teams that arent willing to spend win a championship and then fade into nothing again


perhaps.....however that is very rare and even tho payton was willing to do it to save his job, brown knew there would be other opportunities if he wasnt paid the way he wanted.

the issue is that he could play.....he was on IR almost the entire season because he was injured....but during that time he got to watch the debacle at LT every game and he knows as well as anyone that bushrod wasnt doing the job that the team needed week in and week out




success on offense in the later rounds.....no success on defense in the later rounds

lol....brown deserved whatever he wanted.....sitting the entire year should've shown that bushrod wasnt cut out to play the position and if the season had ended any other way than it did we wouldnt be talking about how good bushrod did

bushrod wasnt the reason we won the super bowl and if anything, he hurt our chances at winning.....but our team was complete and we were able to beat a team that was 1 dimensional

its jaw dropping that nobody has gone back to watch bushrod play yet everyone continues to build him up like he did anything spectacular or above average.

you're mad at brown because he wanted more money and held out.....that happens every year on every team.....this is the first time its happened to us with a big name player.......it looks to me like everybody is upset that we lost brown so you are using a defense mechanism to talk yourself out of thinking its a loss

Re: Is the media still purposely posting unfavorable looking Saints pics?
 

Deserved what he wanted? Man I know you don't mean that, and if you do you are severely misguided. TO deserves whatever he wants too? Please...

How many one-dimensional teams did we beat last year? Man, the league was FULL of those one-dimensional teams last year eh? Oh, and would the person that proclaimed Bushrod as the reason we won the super bowl please raise his or her hand, cause I know I didn't say that.

No, what's jaw-dropping is someone saying a player that missed an ENTIRE season while his team won the damn super bowl deserves whatever he wants. The ONLY player the Saints have that deserves whatever he wants would be Drew Brees.

Huh? I'm using a what? A defense mechanism? To do what? Put the pipe down man. Brown wanted out, and he didn't get a better deal where he landed. He was pissed off, not me. Please come to terms with that before you respond. Good lord...

Re: Is the media still purposely posting unfavorable looking Saints pics?
 

Bushrod played in three games prior to starting this past season. He played well at times and had issues with a few of the premier DE's in the NFL... so what? who doesn't?

He's obviously a guy that the coaches believe in and weighed his "worth".

Coaching staff intact.
Offense intact.
Secondary intact.
Great punter and kicker.
We drafted to build both lines.

D line needs attention.

C, you act like we let half the team walk...We signed two D lineman and drafted quality players. How is that a lack of progress?

Re: Is the media still purposely posting unfavorable looking Saints pics?
 

Same crap different day. Ill continue to look at this season like last year, we will force our greatness down their throats and they will have no choice but to honor our glory.

Re: Is the media still purposely posting unfavorable looking Saints pics?
 

Yes they are, Smash, and they're doing it on purpose.

Damn communist media.
