C.mon!! Any body out there not BITTERED to the \" POINT OF NO RETURN \" !!!!

NO I don\'t know R Williams and for the Record, NO I don\'t think Riley is the answer, He will be replaced before all is said and done.

So then Stall your statement that you are fine with THIS team and we don\'t need any additions was false no? Look at it this way though, you caused Gumbo and I to have a laugh together, something I don\'t think has happened since I have been here. You are a difference maker even if you didn\'t mean to be. ;)

Gumbo, the man doesn\'t know Ricky, but maybe Chong is on speed dial. :rauch06:

This is exactly what scares the hell out of me. There has been nothing positive out of the Saints organization in so long it tends to make me wonder if this might not be a fact. All this talk of trouble between the offense and defense. The owner calling it a high school team. The head coach damn near being fired. A defensive co-ordinator that is impossible to figure out. And to top it all off, when they do get rid of someone, they don\'t even look outside the organization for a replacement. I\'m really at a loss about this team. I\'m finding it very hard to see where this team is heading this offseason. I\'m waiting for my phone to ring, hell about 150 years ago I was a pretty good MLB and at 6\'2\" 330 lbs I can still roll as fast as some of these guys can run. Besides, I\'ve only had 4 knee operations. Oh yea, and one little heart operation. :givebeer:

AHH A Miss quote I see. Well I\'m glad to be amusing you both BUT I never said I was Not going to be Happy IF changes are going to be made, And I think a few are comming, I just said that if they were NOT I would still have enough faith from the 4 games at the end of last year, That this team could put a good season in next year!

P.S I think I\'d get less laughs on a PANTHERS board then here!

I\'m with you Joe. That definitely scares me too. I so hope this is not the case, but the problem is, it may very well be.

Stall, huh? You lost me on the Panthers board thing. I think THEY WILL be fine once they get their players healthy, ours were healthy. We need changes and NOONE should be fine with the status quo. But your optimism is genuine so at least everyone isn\'t soured.

What this thing with Pierce suggests to me is threefold: (1) our organization is not as mikey mouse as our pessimists like to think, (2) our Howard trade may be crucial - it may be the only way to get the superstar we all want here, and (3) the focus on the draft is much more explainable now - we can\'t get who we want in FA, so we need to move in the draft.

Let\'s get Andre Dyson, Floyd Womack, and Ian Gold. We could alternatively trade Howard for Peterson and only get Womack and someone else, maybe an OG or a DT.

There are still a lot of options.
