Goofysaint, I agree with most of what you say but your hostile tone and calling people douchebags for having a different opinion is uncalled for. It seems immature.

1. You think the packers are gonna go 10-6? Or the 9ers? Or the Pats? The packers have a way more tough division than us but nobody is wondering to the possibility that the packers may just go 10-6? The packers haven't upgraded their defense one bit.

2. I never called anybody here a douchebag. I was implying that people who consider themselves saints fans have never ever once said what they liked about the saints or said how good they looked. I was not referring to you or anyone in here.

3. What you call a "hostile tone" is simply somebody disagreeing with you. I apologize if you find that aggressive. It's just frustrating when you see all this progress and evolution of our team and then someone sums that up in "10-6" or "just barely winning the division" yet we have the same caliber to be like the 9ers, packers, pats etc.

4. Please stop righting me off to be the bad guy here.

My gut from all the statements and commentary I have seen is that the team has put the issues behind them.

Living with the outcome with out letting it effect their play. An "it is what it is, we are moving on with business " approach.

All here could be right.
Injuries in key positions and all these predictions go out the window.
We will all be pulling for the 6-2 Saints just like for a 4-4 Saints team at the half.
Everything has to fall in place (outside forces) and every player has to
(forgive me) "do their job" and play in the moment, every week.
I'm hoping for a 12+ win season, but if things unravel a bit, I won't be surprised.
It's a difficult proposition even when things a stable from the top down.
The locker room could get ugly without a stern hand to squash destructive attitudes.
This season will be measured by how we respond to the set backs.

I predict we win the mammy-frackin' Super Bowl. Yeah, I said it.

GoofySaint - Here's what you do:

Turn your back on this thread.
Go to another thread where you may have an agreement with the Original Poster and post that agreement.

This is a pretty tight board. We disagree on everything, some things and sometimes we agree on everything or some things. But just as a measure of respect we don't refer to a certain set of feelings or opinions in a derogatory manner. That's it. It's easy.

And you ARE welcome here, along with any opinion, right or wrong, that you may have.

Have fun. Even a losing game is fun because we get to RAGE on/to each other.

Agreed. We're all cheering for the same team every Sunday (and sometimes Monday, Thursday, and Saturday in the playoffs). The board would suck if we all agreed all the time ... wouldn't be any interesting discussion.

So long as y'all remember I'm always right, or drunk, or both ... uh, I forgot what I was gettin' at ...

OH, and when and if we tell someone to pizz up a rope, we do it and then include a

. That means it's all in fun.
