Missing the playoffs is becoming a huge possibility now

Of course nobody cares about the 10 positive threads I've made but the minute I mention something negative that's a possibility people jump all over me like I'm not a fan. What a great way to treat a fellow fan. Good job.

Eliminate the drama queen doom and gloom sky is falling posts and you wouldn't get hammered.

Perhaps titling the thread "there's a slight chance we may miss the playoffs" is a bit more realistic than the "OMG there's a HUGE possibility we miss the playoffs entirely".

It isn't a HUGE chance, its a slight chance.

The thinking that "anything bad can happen" is a whole lot different than thinking something bad is "likely to happen". Some of your posts come across as the latter.

Just my 2 cents.

I apologize if 3 out of this 25 got lost in the weeds. You are probably correct though there are about 10 positive threads in this 12 pages (282 threads).

Catch being that the title is positive but you end the post on a negative note.

I'd like to say "I feel your pain," but I OWN my pessimism proudly. I earned every emotional scar in the 47 years in which I've been a Saints fan. That gives me carte blanche to rip on Pollyana's and the genetically misinformed.

I suggest you not imitate the current version of the Saints and NUT UP.

'Ripping' the misinformed and being the misinformed are two different things
The OP calls a 4% possibility 'huge'. Being factually inaccurate is not exactly the same as saying C.Brown has to go.
