Not only is that way off base, but it's extremely hypocritical of you.

For the record, I think the team has been soft over the last few years, too. But I'm not going to reverse course because some guy posts a picture of tampons, in a show of incredible originality.

Good post. Remember if you don't shine that turd you need a tampon.

Guys cmon now! Everyone is either in full out panic mode or completely blissfully hopeful (which is where I prefer to stay). All I'm saying is this: Let's just wait until week 3 or 4 to seriously make a conclusion about this team.

Maybe the Saints will suck big, fat donkey nuts. Or maybe the lines solidify in the coming weeks and they put a good team out there.

All I'm saying is that I prefer to wait and see what the team can do in the regular season before passing my judgement.

But I'd like to say, that even tho I don't agree with some of you, at least not yet, I still respect your opinions and look forward to seeing you all in the game day chat.

I still believe there's a chance. And I believe in Coach P, DA and this team.

Yay for optimism!

My comment was more toward the bombardment of negativity all throughout the main page more so than just this thread.

It just looked like a good opportunity to expose the chicken little fans that for some reason think we're superior to Falcon fans, when we certainly are not.

There's actually a thread asking who do you want to win the NFCS?

On a Saints board... Seriously? Thats pathetic.

My post may have been on the wrong thread, but the point remains.

We haven't recruited a nasty lineman like Carl Nicks since Payton came on board. I think we need a pancake flattening, defensive line pummeling, in your face nasty offensive lineman. I'm hoping that Fairley is going to bring that edge to the defensive line.

Right after they draft "A stud kicker"

The likes of Carl Nicks, Jahri Evans and Ben Grubbs had me spoiled for years.

I asked a legitimate question because if our oline affects Drew's performance, we are not even winning 7 games. Yep it's obvious the defense will have to bail Drew out until he can dial up a drive four possessions in. Is that what we really want?
