On the bright side of the moon (10 reasons)

TheOak · 09-16-2012, 06:20 PM

1. Hartley made his field goal
2 .We kept our opponent from going over 40
3. Roby caught a pass
4. Brees broke 63% completion rate
5. Held a QB that threw for over 4000 yards last year to less than 260 yards passing.
6. 3rd Down efficiency was 53%
7. netted 486 total yards
8. Only 2 penalties
9. Did not lose a fumble
10. Thomas ran for 110 yards.

If the following statement rubs you raw, maybe you should take a breath and look at things tomorrow. Our offense is still on step with last year.

We lost but our offense is AS GOOD AS IT WAS LAST YEAR.

A new member "aintasinner" made a good point.

So I ask?

If the coin were flipped, and the Saints ran off after Katrina how would we feel? If they did nothing but 8itch, moan and cry to the media about their dome being in bad shape... how would we feel?

We owe them a little more loyalty.... no?

If you were a businessman and an NFL owner you'd want the same advantages the rest get.

As far as loyalty?

So the Saints aren't in san antonio or los angeles...they're here and they aren't playing well...

Let's not get distracted by things that never happened.

I am not questioning anyone's "loyalty"... The fact that we are here means a lot. What i am saying is we should take something into account and context. Its not about loyalty... It is about support.

Do we really want to be like fans in NY or Atlanta that roast their team? The frustration is justified, I am just asking if we are handling it in the most proactive way?

Yep, way too many fans here are as bad or worse than Falcon fans. What a bunch of whiney little twits.

Haven't watched the game yet going to watch later but;

Held opponent under 40 - 35 points ain't that pretty

Brees turning the ball over like there's no tomorrow

And our D is shoddy, we haven't got any money to fix them due to 100 million dollar man

We need to fix this fast

Yes those are very good things to build on, were not done and are not out of this yet.
If we can hold on the passes, get td's instead of FG. Just imagine what if...

Aghh the good ole days ! Now I remember !! LOL
It was a good ride while it lasted, a short ride but a ride.
Whatever happens I'm not going anywhere, SP will be back...
