What we have today that we didnt have 2 weeks ago

WHODATINCA · 09-08-2014, 11:56 PM

Win or lose, I will continue to be happy watching the Saints play on Sunday. It is a highlight of my week.

I don't know about two weeks ago, but what we didn't have last year was an appreciative, optimistic Dude. You go on with you bad new self, Dude.

I'm just waiting to see who will fill the gap.

i love the fact that all that crap in the off season in press clipping can be thrown out of the window finally. oh the greatest turn around. oh the greatest team on paper blah blah blah.

that stuff is poison i tell you. poison

not only for the players but the fan as well

might be a blessing that it happened right out of gate.

If the defense continues to get it butt whipped as bad as it did in Atlanta they are going to need all the TP they can get

Buddy, you need to get off your high horse. Nobody here, no matter how they are feeling today, is saying anything about not watching the team anymore. We're all upset because we want to win. Some people deal with it better than others, but we all find our own way of getting over it. It is never the end of the world.

You are notoriously pessimistic. I am sometimes pessimistic if I think there is good reason to be, but you post all throughout the offseason about things that worry you, and then after one game you think you have the right to turn the tables on everyone else. That's not how it works.

The Dudes high horse is a Shetland. Let him ride.

That there are at least 15 more games to go. Of course we do not have to do what the team has to do: feel bad for about 5 minutes, then get back to work.

As I said in another post, if the offense can put up 34 in every away game, I'll take my chances.

.....and looking at our divisions schedules this week, we could be tied for the division by Monday, it's all good. Splitting with Atlanta makes it a wash anyway, at least on the division level, hurts conference wise but Seattle's division shows promise early of not being a lock for them anyway.
LONG way to go.

How is is supposed to work?

Not to derail the thread but did anyone else notice it looked like the Falcons had just won the Superbowl w/ GM & owner on the sidelines, last few minutes of the game? They blew their wad in one game, can't wait to see the Falcons implode the rest of the season (I hope)...

The Saints are in their heads. From the owner down to the bandwagon fan, all they think about all the time is beating the Saints. It's a huge franchise inferiority complex.

But is it really a complex if it's true?

Well considering we had beat them like the past 13 out of 16 meetings I guess it was kinda their Super Bowl.
Think about how all of us here would feel If the reverse happened. Say they came to the Super Dome and the exact same thing happened except we won.
We would be furious that they came into our house and almost beat us after we put up 30 plus points. We would hold our defense accountable for allowing Atlanta to score that many points in our own Dome. We would be scared to death because we would know if Roddy White hadn't dropped that ball in overtime they probably would have won.
That's the difference between us and them.
All this happens at their stadium and they act like they are the best team in the NFL and have nothing to improve on. Happens at our stadium and we would be just as nervous as we are now going into next weeks game even though we won.

Yea our defense blew, but in spite of that Atlanta barely eeked out a win in overtime. Hell that was the most yards Atlanta has ever put up in a game in franchise history and they still almost lost.
They have to hang onto the little things because they have never had anything worth putting in a trophy case.

And they will implode. They will believe the hype and lay some eggs. Roddy is already gimpy just like he was last season after one game. Julio will probably get banged up as well.
