Re: Saints Earn Moral Victory Against Superior Foe
 

im feeling neither moral, nor victorious.

we suck.

Even guys who normally are good sucked yesterday: Brees, Colston,
Payton.

burn the film.

Re: Saints Earn Moral Victory Against Superior Foe
 

Come on Mike, it wasn't all that bad. 25 new players we did pretty good.

Smile, you could be a Bucs fan. lol

Re: Saints Earn Moral Victory Against Superior Foe
 

Swap two of our FG's for TD's and we still lose. Still short a TD. Colston can easily be covered. If the ball is on target and anyone is close, it's getting swatted down more often than not or flat out dropped. 4th down call, no. Go for it. Put the ball in the hands of your best players not in the hands of a shaky defense. Brees to Cooks or Snead. If they can't get 6 yards then yes, we should lose.

Re: Saints Earn Moral Victory Against Superior Foe
 

actually we did better than i expected.

next two games will be key

bring on the bucs

Re: Saints Earn Moral Victory Against Superior Foe
 

This game was basically over early in the 1st/2nd quarter, when the Saints failed to score touchdowns on their first 2 or 3 drives with the ball. Like it was in 2012 and a lot of the time last year, this year the offense needs to score a touchdown EVERY TIME THEY TOUCH THE BALL because we know the defense is going to routinely give up 31 points or more, in back-breaking fashion, or always give up the first down or the score, at the worst possible times. I know while the game was going on, it kinda felt like the game was close for a time, or that it could maybe go either way at some point, but in reality Arizona was firmly in control, the whole time, they manhandled us on both sides of the ball and the game was never really ever in doubt. They had the lead from the opening drive until the final gun. Maybe the Bucs will be more our speed.

Re: Saints Earn Moral Victory Against Superior Foe
 

It felt that we never really had a chance. I don't see any moral victories except that the Saints forced them to have 13 players on a punt. Not sure how we did that but we should do it every play.

Re: Saints Earn Moral Victory Against Superior Foe
 

oh go eat a praline

Re: Saints Earn Moral Victory Against Superior Foe
 

Thank God the Saints didn't blow out the Cards and then get man-handled by the Bucs the following week!

About half of the forum would REALLY jump out of windows!

Re: Saints Earn Moral Victory Against Superior Foe
 

Jesus, we have been reduced to moral victory's now? Sad.

Re: Saints Earn Moral Victory Against Superior Foe
 

When CharityMike won't give you a brake... the year seams over. :bng:

Re: Saints Earn Moral Victory Against Superior Foe
 

"Moral Victory!" Media Speak for: LOSER!!!!!! Which "Kid" will we "kick the tires on" with the #1 pick? More importantly who will the next HC & GM be?

Re: Saints Earn Moral Victory Against Superior Foe
 

Are we now that inferior team that looks for moral victories?

Re: Saints Earn Moral Victory Against Superior Foe
 

Morally we'll be the most victorious 0 - 16 team in the NFL!!

Re: Saints Earn Moral Victory Against Superior Foe
 

Moral victory vs superior team? Unfortunately, the NFL doesn't award playoff spots based on moral winning percentage. Superior team or not, gotta win in the NFL. I'm not feeling confident this year... defense still sucks and the offense has fewer weapons with an aging QB. Brees is still very good, but at his age, he needs more help.

Re: Saints Earn Moral Victory Against Superior Foe
 

Unless you are a Cleveland Browns fan, one must never use the term

"MORAL VICTORY"

in this forum.

ever.

Re: Saints Earn Moral Victory Against Superior Foe
 

Superior is a bit strong. Slightly better on their turf I'll buy. But this wasn't exactly David vs Goliath

Re: Saints Earn Moral Victory Against Superior Foe
 

They're actually using, "Fail for Cardale" this year. If we keep playing this poorly, maybe we can get some draft picks from them...

Re: Saints Earn Moral Victory Against Superior Foe
 

Im cautiously, somewhat excited about some of the young guys, like hawlouie kikihahabooga- spelling?) He's exciting. Stephone Anthony could be something real. Hokie's high on Breaux. (thats not a drug metaphor) after yesterday, I could feel it too. Maybe we're headed to the Bottom. I think, more likely, a couple of these young guys will emerge into The Schizznitf, and we'll have some bright stars. Had you ever heard of Jimmy Graham before?
I was going that route, B, but I switched to Jack.

Re: Saints Earn Moral Victory Against Superior Foe
 

Agreed, and it was game 1. For all we know they could be this years SB champ. I think the rookies did better than last years veteran defense and they can still get better. We get a couple guys back from injury at the right time and things may look a lot brighter.
Im not saying we are a legit contender, I just had very low expectations. I didnt think we would have a winning season. Now I think we can win maybe 10 games. If we can sneak into the playoffs anything can happen.

Re: Saints Earn Moral Victory Against Superior Foe
 

Well, at least we have our morals.

Re: Saints Earn Moral Victory Against Superior Foe
 

Moral victories are for losers.

Re: Saints Earn Moral Victory Against Superior Foe
 

25 New players! - Injuries galore, ALREADY! - What did you expect! Some people are already saying season over, after just one game!!!!!!

Hey doubters!!!! Lets see how the next few games go before you write this team off!

It's the Saints, they never do things the way you expect them to!

That's why its tough, but fun, being a Saints Fan!!!!!! :-)

GEAUX SAINTS!!!!!!

Re: Saints Earn Moral Victory Against Superior Foe
 

No such thing.

Re: Saints Earn Moral Victory Against Superior Foe
 

The kid that got beat up and lunch money stole might have a moral victory excaping with his life but a pro football team that got owned by another nfl team, thats an old fashion a$$ whooping, not a moral victory.

Re: Saints Earn Moral Victory Against Superior Foe
 

Cmon Payton. Get this team together and win some games.

Re: Saints Earn Moral Victory Against Superior Foe
 

Defense can't stop a stiff breeze. Doesn't matter what the offense does.

Re: Saints Earn Moral Victory Against Superior Foe
 

So we are reduced to "Moral Victories" and accepting a loss as long as the other team is hurting the next day? Not me!! as Al Davis used to say "Just win Baby" It was a fun run while it lasted, the likes of which we may never see again!

Re: Saints Earn Moral Victory Against Superior Foe
 

Yeah I am seeing a trend here!!!

Re: Saints Earn Moral Victory Against Superior Foe
 

Yep. It has not been inspiring faith so far. But, we blew up the team in the offseason. Honestly, I'd be happy with middle of the pack this season. Even when we arguably had a SB contender type team -- we only made it to the playoffs and/or won the division one more time. I'm usually the hopeful Pollyanna --- but this season -- the reason for doubt is legit. I hate myself for talking like this too -- because I sound like a Falcon fan. The truth hurts sometimes.

Moral victories? That is some weak-a$$ bs for sure.

One more thing I noticed last year about morale -- the Saints kept freaking losing and when queried about whether or not they were worried -- Brees, Payton and others just acted like "What? Hey what's there to worry about?" Didn't seem like how freaking bad they actually were sunk in until it was way way too late.

If the sucking continues this year -- I hope they act like they are at least aware of the situation.

Re: Saints Earn Moral Victory Against Superior Foe
 

It hurts to see Moral victory articles already.
Sure the entire sports section for the redskin are full of them.
4 wins and 12 moral victorys last year.

Agree with most. Stop making excuses and own that you suck, if you do. Only way to fix it. Its as painful as Transition talk. Hell the Skins have been in transition for 12 years, lol. It mean you suckn and are checked off as a "should win" by the good teams.

But if this continues than Brees should change the 2009 chant from :
Maybe change to ?

Re: Saints Earn Moral Victory Against Superior Foe
 

LOL. GOOD ONE!!!

Re: Saints Earn Moral Victory Against Superior Foe
 

How is it the Pats can blow up their team almost every year and still make the playoffs & the super bowl? It can be done.

Re: Saints Earn Moral Victory Against Superior Foe
 

And Belichick isnt even a genius, but probably one of the best defensive coordinators in the NFL. So consistantly OK defenses. Plus they consistantly get lesser drafts because they are always in the playoffs.
Probably because BB is pretty simple Do Your Job ! or you will lose your job.
No excuses. We need to start coping them again like we did in 2006.

Re: Saints Earn Moral Victory Against Superior Foe
 

The Saints weren't "manhandled" on the line - what game was he watching?!?

Moral victory?

WTH is this guy talking about?!?

The Saints line actually did very well against a very good defense, problem was execution...

Cam Jordan is Will Smith and will have great games against bad team and awful games against good teams...

Re: Saints Earn Moral Victory Against Superior Foe
 

congratulations.
we just lost to the worst team in football.
which makes us the reigning champs of suck.
this was an immoral victory.

Re: Saints Earn Moral Victory Against Superior Foe
 

Uhhh, you mean the previously worst team in football?

Re: Saints Earn Moral Victory Against Superior Foe
 

Like you, I was there.
It looked much worse in person then on TV from what I can tell.
