Maybe we won't make the playoffs

this is a discussion within the Saints Community Forum; I'm just hoping we can find enough motivation to avoid another serious beat down and finish this season with some dignity....

Re: Maybe we won't make the playoffs

Hell I'd love to see the playoffs. I just don't know if this team can win anymore games.

We beat arguably one of the best teams in Green Bay and go to Pittsburgh and rough up a pretty good Steeler team. Then we come home and lay an egg against Can Newton and the lowly Panthers. I don't get it.

Re: Maybe we won't make the playoffs

We can't beat the teams that are not elite but think they are(Cincinatti, Baltimore, Detroit) cannot beat teams who suddenly played inspired(Carolina yes they played that way did anyone think otherwise after we went and won week 9 and got cocky?). However we have been in close games or won against the elite teams GB, Pittsburgh, and should have beaten SF but.......thank Colston.

I know you're hurtin' bro, but no one in Detroit makes the mistake of thinking they're an "elite" team ... at least anyone over 30 that has a lick of sense about football, .

Same thing last year we get killed in St.Louis, New York, Seattle(defensive team) but win in Chicago and should have won in New England.

We may play on a home field, but we have lost any advantage that a home team may have.

These home fans walked out at the 4th quarter. Those footsteps are heard all the way up in Benson's suite.

Well, if we're being honest, the Dome is only half full of "real" Saints fans anymore. After 09 it become the fashionable place to go and be seen and socialize.

I can't really blame anybody who left today though. Normally I wouldn't say that, but the team just totally laid down and quit. It was embarrassing for me to watch and I was just watching it on a computer screen 800 miles away.

4th qtr? I wouldn't have faulted someone if they told me they bounced at halftime in this one.

Not saying I'd have done that. Just saying I wouldn't have faulted someone else for it. The team acted like they didn't wanna be there, why should the fans?

I wasn't able to attend this one live, however I turned OFF my TV mid way 3rd quarter & helped my kids with a science project. Just couldn't stomach much more. No fight whatsoever.

I couldn't make this one either, but I had to turn the sound off in the third quarter. I can't believe fans were Booing their own team. I sure hope whoever bought my tickets was not in that embarrassing group of fans.
