So what if the Saints do start to suck

The Saints have been bad before and I'm still here. The team may change but I don't.

Last years team lacked effort at times. When they had deciding games in front of them, they were flat. That's unacceptable. In the past, it was sadly clear that other teams simply had more talent than the Saints. While disappointing, it was what it was. Now, and since Payton arrived, the Saints have had the talent to win. When they don't, it hurts a little more than it did in past years.

pull a tampa!

get the bench on the field as much as possible and see what have to work with.

saints get a top 5 pick in 2016

Connor Cook, QB, Michigan State

Do Drew the favor if he finds a team that he wants to play for and they really want him trade him and that last year contract. cashing in at this point would be a smart business move.

Get a boat load of picks and a ton of cap space. let the rebuild begin

I could live with my min requirements for a losing season.
beat the falcons at home 1-15

if you get the win on the road in Atalanta that is icing on the cake. 2-14

my requirements for a losing season that is palatable are pretty simple being the old dog that I am.

Take comfort in every time the Saints get beat the winning team will be hurting the next day!!

I see what the Dude is saying... We've begun to expect success. And I think we have a right to that.

With Drew and SP or without, this team has the tools to succeed & they should go over 500 this year. If they don't, I for one will be irritated!!

Because if they did, they would use Ryan's age against us for bragging rights. It just seemed we didn't really get to relax and enjoy our moment. Green Bay has shut Chicago up, New England did the jets and they probably will the dolphins too, Indy is doing to Houston, and did it to Jacksonville as well under Manning. We didn't quite shut Atlanta up until we ourselves were in a rut and now they're making noises of coming back.

It would be hard if we fall off while Atlanta and Cam are winning. That would be hard pill to swallow.

How did Atlanta ruin our time? Especially their fans?

The team needs to be competitive and well coached. That's what I expect to see no matter what personnel we have. We're not a laughing stock team anymore and no coach has to come in to try and get us our first Lombardi. That should make the HC/GM position more appealing in the future.

When they bury me is the last time I worry about my Saints.

Other than 2011, after we won the sb Atlanta did steal our thunder some with the media and all. We didn't get to have the NFC South spotlight to ourselves. Atlanta was a first seed in 10 and 12. And their fans on variety forums like what ESPN was always stalked our forum there. And the bounty season was bad.

We've won a Superbowl, Atlanta hasn't...

There.
