spoiled?????? lmao you want spoiled move up here to new england were i am. then you will understand spoiled.

as saints fans we are not spoiled

I think SP has a lot to do with but i also look at the coaching staff we have lost in the past 3 years. that is a big part of the problem right there.

The saints coaching staff has been gutted and it shows

Milk gets spoiled!
Without SP we knew this wasn't going to be easy.
Everything in it's place I think we had a sense of confidence.

I wish I could remember how many times I've seen this thread start over the past 6 years, every time the team has adversity. I may be a jerk, but I'm a consistent jerk. I criticize things, that I see are a problem, because I don't have a taste for losing guys. I'm sorry. But you can't say I'm acting any different than I normally do in this situation. My question is equally as important as all of yours I guess. Why are you still surprised by people reacting this way?

Nah, we just hate losing!

no one does. but saints fans really know how to dig through a pile of crap and find a silver lining, no matter how well it has been digested.

i have dug for years lol

Winning is the only thing !

There is a silver lining in every cloud...and the silver lining here is that if the Saints don't make it to the playoffs, then they won't be in the SB. That would mean that people from 2 different cities will be flying into NO and spending their money. I don't think it would be as great a windfall for the city if one of the participants was NO.

I'm definitely not spoiled as whatever happens this year will be, in the end, just another year. I haven't written it off, yet, but if it does end out of the money it will just be another, "Oh well, wait 'til next year"...and we've gotten very good at doing that. With a SB win under our belt, it really is very easy to live with disappointment these days...at least for me.

I agree with Joker.
I do not think old Saints fans are spolied with the teams recent years of huge success and that SB win thing.
All teams have to rebuild. It happens. SF49's? CBears? Raiders? DCowboys? Other teams. Sometimes the great years take a long time to come back around or, it seems, not again at all.
These current Saints and coaching staff have about two years max, imo, before rebuilding.
This year is costly and gives them one year less before rebuilding years.

Whatever, still a Saints fan here, was in bad times, the best of times, will be in future bad times.

This is America. You can have it all.
