Brace yourself Saints fans. It's going to be a long season.
 

The overwhelming majority of the forum came to that conclusion by halftime of the first preseason game!

The Saints will of course say all the right things and profess to doing them each week, but clearly that's not the case. Teams that are "doing all the right things," as Drew Brees claimed the Saints are, don't begin the season 1-4

Brace yourselves Saints fans; it's going to be a long season.

Its like a roller coaster ride.

I could see this in pre-season. Also watching the D look like lost kids out there knowing nothing good was going to come from them at all. Jordan at Jack was like a bad joke, good at DE but as a lb. not at all. That 4-3 blunder we run is pathetic. Not to mention for the 1000th time the D's coaching staff. What I didn't see was how bad the O-line play has been, silly me. I'm still saying it's going to be a 5 win season. Cap hits and big contracts has sunk our Saints back to the bottom and it's going to take time with great drafting to bring us back up.

i have rode it all the way down when will it go back up? If not, then this is no roller coaster this a slip & slide

Im ready.... hopefully we get rid of Rob Ryan after Atlanta torches us...

Re: Brace yourself Saints fans. It's going to be a long season.
 

Don't forget, this is a divisional game. All the naysayers claiming to know how this will truly turn out are venting after getting skull drug by the Eagles. We could be 0-9 and still have a shot at this game.

Who Dat :bng:.

More like a Roller derby

Thanks WWL for letting me know its going to be a long season. I had no idea before I read that. (No offense to the OP. It just seems ridiculous for WWL to title this article with something as obvious as "Its gonna be a long season".)

Of course it's gonna be a long season. We totally suck. But hey, the Atlanta game should be interesting.

Re: Brace yourself Saints fans. It's going to be a long season.
 

Had to think about that for a minute but that's one funny line;
"I had no idea before I read that"

Re: Brace yourself Saints fans. It's going to be a long season.
 

Going to be very interesting to see how things shape up at the end of the season if things carry on as they are, e.g the hire and fire scenarios etc.

SP was quoted as saying he doesn't intend going anywhere else, he's just had a big house built here.

I like SP and what he's done for this team over the years but if he doesn't get things turned around soon, I'm guessing the choice of going or staying probably won't be his!

Watch this space as the saying goes!

Re: Brace yourself Saints fans. It's going to be a long season.
 

SP would never divulge any information to make the media talk

The "I love it here" quote could easily be "I'll see what my options are in the offseason"

Just like when he said our outside linebacker had twisted his ankle and will be fine, then he got put on IR the next day.

Playing spoiler can be fun too. Not as fun as winning, but fun nonetheless, especially if its Atlanta, Carolina and Tampa...

Re: Brace yourself Saints fans. It's going to be a long season.
 

Beating Dallas then hopefully spoiling Atlanta's perfect start. These are the little crumbs we grab amongst this Chaos. Lord knows we Who Dats
don't ask for much we are a humble bunch. I'm thinking though maybe
we went way over our quota with that game against the Colts back in Florida.

Re: Brace yourself Saints fans. It's going to be a long season.
 

I'm all in on that!

Re: Brace yourself Saints fans. It's going to be a long season.
 

I said after the first preseason game that we will be doing well to beat last year's record. I am downgrading this expectation to 'it will be nothing short of a miracle'.

In saying that, I hope we thrash the pants off Atlanta this Thursday. WHO DAT!!!
