C17-BING

My buddy told me the other day (while watching us lose to Tampon by the bay) .. "Bro, you are one of the most pessimistic fans I've ever been around"

Personally, I consider myself a realist, but I can see how others would interpret that as being "negative/pessimistic" ... I have to say though that I think our luck this year is about to run out. I'm with SKYMIKE on this one ... We're pretty banged up right now and Brees hasn't looked like the Brees we all know and love all year long. You can throw stats at me all day long, but the fact is --- if you've watched EVERY SINGLE DOWN this year (and I have ... Even traveled TO SFO and PHX) you might come to the same conclusion that I have --- I can't put my finger on it, but something isn't right/the same.

I can definitely see us losing this weekend ... Playing at SEATTLE is going to be A LOT tougher than most of us as fans are probably willing to let on. If you aren't somewhat concerned about this game (and just saying things like "they're 7-9" "they don't deserve to be in the playoffs" etc, etc) then I won't change your mind (nor will anyone else), but the fact is --- Last year was SPECIAL and while I want this year to be as special ... It's not shaping up like it will be.

Okay, let the "you're not a real fan" ... "your a bandwagon fan" begin ... I'll laugh since I've been a fan longer than most of you have been around, but I'll understand the backlash of someone questioning our beloved Saints.
