Re: Where Does The 2014 Team Rank in Saints History Suckage?

There have been worse seasons of suckage. I can't speak to anything before 1988, but this was one of the worst seasons coaching-wise, right up there with Ditka's last season. So this season was painful in its own unique way. This team took on the guise of a lifeless, heartless corporation. We are like the Sony of the NFL. And who needs the Lizard Squad or North Korea, when we have the Falcons to take us down.

The Lions game was the worst loss of the season. It was incomprehensible that we lost that game. And all we hear from Payton is usual narrative, "well there's the peaks and valleys in every NFL season" nonsense.

I'll always be a fan, but as I've gotten older I've gotten less patient with underachievement and especially bad coaching. It's hard to stay engaged when your team is being run the wrong way. Maybe I should consult a Cowboys fan for advice on that one.

Stop right there.
You've missed half the (un)fun, and much of the worst.

Re: Where Does The 2014 Team Rank in Saints History Suckage?

Been a fan since 1986 and this definitely wasn't the worst Saints team I've seen but it was the most disappointing team I've seen. Most of the bad Saints teams I knew were going to bad but this team I had high expectations for. Nothing more disappointing then having high expectations and falling miserably short.

This was a team with no heart and honestly showed me nothing to make me believe the future is bright. I think this team needs a huge overhaul because quite frankly we don't have good players. We've missed a lot recently in both the draft and FA and now we're stuck with young kids who can't play and older guys past their prime. Looking ahead we have virtually no flexibility due to our cap situation which makes this years draft so important. I do know that unless major changes are made my expectations next year will be very low for this team because nothing I saw from this pathetic group makes me think they will turn it around next year.

I don't think this team underachieved any worse than the Haslett/Brooks teams of 2002-2004 teams did.

Bigger disappointment with this team, this year...

Those teams were like watching a first class, state-of-the-art ladder firetruck pull up with Shakes the Clown and Bobo at the wheels...

I dunno...I felt pretty danged disappointed after that 2002 team screaming into the playoffs with a 9-4 record then butt-fumbling 3 straight to miss the playoffs...losing to 3 absolutely garbage Minnesota, Cincinnati, & Carolina teams in a row to close out the season. Two of those at home, by the way.

Felt more betrayed by that 2002 team than by this 2014 team. Hate Haslett & AB to this day for that team.
