I'm wondering if the 80s/90s era is coming back

this is a discussion within the Saints Community Forum; Back then the cowboys, 49ers loaded up on players and dominated for a while. Is this coming back in the league? Is Seattle and SF going to be as good as then?...

In the era of free agency, its a self-correcting problem.

Other teams will lure away their best players over time.

Remember, they got this much talent by finishing poorly for many years and drafting well. And both of their QB's will demand huge paydays in a few years.

As we found out, its easier to be the hunter than it is the hunted.

Unfortunately for the Browns, their problems started years before Weeden was even in the league.

I think they have the right man in charge now.

I think that you're at least a decade late with this statement.

LMAO i think i still the last bag from the last game in a box some where. i use to sell bags out front of the dome all made up and set to go. beer money baby

how about the times were the real contest on the field was to see who could land an airplane on the logo at the 50? everyone cheered and i mean everyone

now those were the days lol

kids today have no idea what they missed out. sold out stadium with 10 to 20 thousand seats to pick from.

everyone drunk as skunks talking about how to fix this freaking team

the players getting the most attention was special teams? we had the best. plenty of 3 and outs to practice with. hell ESPN labeled us the most knowledgeable fans in the NFL i think that bit was in the 70's or 80's. Every two to three years we would get another phase of the game to study. we were never distracted by the others phases of the game because well they suxed.

the first winning season? Finally we are winners yippee

the first playoff appearance? lost? who cares we made it

on and on and on

amazing what perspective gives you.

Trust us old timers: it can get a whole lot worse than this
