So you think beating the Clowns was a big deal?

vpheughan · 11-11-2012, 11:17 PM

And the glass isn't half full, who cares? When the self proclaimed "team of destiny" is defeated by the worst defense in NFL history, yes it is a BIG DEAL! The Saints are doing it the only way you can, one game at a time. A win is a win! This game proves that statistics are for losers!!!! The only stat that really matters is the final score!!

The win was great and it was also nice to see the running game dominate again. Also we did a great job stopping Turner and making Atlanta one dimensional. I'll gladly take a QB throwing for 400 yards against us if we can consistently stop runs for no gain. We'll win a lot of those games.

The secondary hung in there despite some mistakes. Quddus and Corey White looked pretty good, and both Harper and Greer came up with some key plays. Didn't get sacks, but we forced Ryan to hurry some throws. Compared to other weeks, I'll certainly take it.

Yes we are still not a great team, but after all that trash the falcons were talking about how good they were, yes it is a big deal.

It was just a step up from the D , simple as that . Just 10 points in the second half is bad tho, the offense needs to do more , Colston was missing the entire second half , glad Moore stepped up .

Yes, its a start. If some how some way our D catches fire, it's on.

Yes, the win naturally was/is a big deal, and on more than one levels.

But, I do applaud xan's realist view point on this matter, and I don't agree with the harsh and outright mean responses he received by some.

Respect other peoples' opinions and point of views!

You couldn't have read the same post the rest of us did if you think we're mean spirited in our responses. We're not cursing the guy out. But when come on the heels of a big and exciting win, and tell everybody to get real, as he did, you will get exactly this kind of reaction every time. An opinion is one thing. This wasn't a presentation of why he alone didn't think it was a big deal. It was a presentation of how stupid he seems to think we all are. No one, I mean not a single person, did I see in here saying we're going to the super bowl. We were just happy to win, and he wanted poop all over that fact.

OK. Well then it seems that we both read what xan wrote, but interpreted it in different ways.

I didn't think he was belittling all of us in his initial post; just that he was representing another side to the state of how things stand at the moment in relation to the recent win over the Saints' division rival.

And, on another note, this was his thread and he made it in compliance with the forum rules, so if you don't like it... be civil about your counter-arguments or just ignore the thread!

At least that is how I see it.

NonieT · 11-12-2012, 03:52 PM

Yes. It was a big deal. It is a step in the right direction.

He said it within forum rules? I didn't accuse him of breaking rules, and frankly I don't care if he did or not, to be honest. I was more than civil enough, along with everyone else. We didn't break any rules either. If he wanted to say "well it's a win, but we're still not going anywhere", then that's an opinion and I respect it, whether or not I agree. But there was no room for any other interpretation than what we took it as... We're just a pack of daydreaming fools, who have no sense of reality.

The sarcasm, and condescension couldn't have been more obvious to anyone. I will end by saying respectfully to you; if you don't like what WE have to say, then just ignore the thread. I'm not belittling your right to have a say, but you're asking us to respect an opinion while not respecting ours. When you call people out for being happy of all things, as the original poster did, then you deserve to be lambasted.
