The official ***** and moan thread

This thread reads as if our season was a failure.

When starting a project you set expectations and log them to have something to compare against at the end of the project. If you keep moving the goal and changing expectations while it is in progress you are bound to reach a point where you do not meet them.

Before this season started we expected a mid pack defense and to go 10-6 to 11-5 ish? We made it to the playoffs and won the first game.

I would say that this season was a huge success and we ended up exceeding most expectations. Its moot whether defense over whelmed and offense underwhelmed, the end result was equal to or greater than expectations.

Defense finished top 10, that alone exceeded my expectations for the season, sure the season didn't end like it should but there are many things to look forward to next season

Were every one's expectations so low? I expected to win the Division. Don't understand why people who know the Saints would expect anything less.

I was at work for the Pats game but I can't bear myself to see it. I read the plays and 400 articles about it, and Ive seen the pass, but I can't rewatch the game.

That L hurt.

It felt momentously bad at the time and it played out that way. Hold up and we get home field until the NFCCG. Get our together for St Loius as well, and we get #1 seed.

And then we gave away the Divisional game last week with even clutc Vets like Morestead fluffing punts.

I guess this thread reads like fail because it was so ~ close.

The stars were not aligned this year. Fun times ahead though... I miss the anticipation, but at least I get to sleep at night.

If I get through this Southern Hemisphere summer without a fleur de lis etched into my skin, I'll be surprised.
