Pherein you better change this thread title or Mora is going to lay into you.

Re: Seasons over
 

The so-called 'fans', and I use that term loosely, are pissing me off to the heights of pisstivity!

People are wringing their hands like a bunch of bleeding heart liberals.

I am not happy about our 0-3 start, but I'm not going to throw the towel in on the season before the 1/4 mark.

I have read posts from people that say the team had better not use injuries as an excuse, but then post that if Breaux had been playing we would have beaten the Raiders and Giants! WTFO?

Here is how I see it:

Week 1 loss to the Raiders: A one point loss to an AFC team. Other than being a game the Saints should have won it is a loss and won't have tiebreaking implications.

Week 2 loss to the Giants: Our crappy defense held NY to zero offensive TDs; I will bet money no other team does that the rest of the year. This loss could come back to haunt us if the G-men don't win the division so looks like they will get a few million new fans for a season.

Week 3 loss to the failclowns: Another game the Saints should have won. Takeaway a Keystone cops-style turnover after forcing a PUNT that gifted them a TD, something the defense could never seem to do last year, and a tipped pass returned for a TD, and the Saints probably win this game. The Saints aren't always going to be good and the failclowns aren't always going to be bad. We seem to split the series a lot the last few years so we will probably beat them on the road later this year.

Also, does anyone really think that the Saints were going to go undefeated this year? I didn't think so. We knew that the Saints were going to lose some games, probably at least 5-6.

Wasn't it last year the failclowns started the season 5-0/6-0 but then crashed and lost the next 7 or 8 games; their high-water mark was knocking off the kittens.

The same way a losing streak, once started feeds itself, so does a winning streak.

I believe the Saints will get their first win against the Chargers, and after the bye will come out hungry and beat the kittens.

Well I am not overly optimistic about the start, and we can't seem to catch the good breaks in these first 3 games, BUT, no other team had ever finished the season 0-3 and won a superbowl either. So we're 0-3 at the start, could we not still shock the world? Let's go boys, right the ship!!

Re: Seasons over
 

Go back and listen to the comments during camp and pre-season when they stressed how important it was to come out the gate and winning to start the season. 3 games this team should have one. I don't care how you lose the fact remains you lost those games. There are no excuses. We are what we are and that is a miserable 0-3.

Re: Seasons over
 

theyll be 1-3,then go from there

Re: Seasons over
 

I can't say I have given up hope for the season. Indifference, would be a better description of my emotion towards the team. We are strung out with injuries; a lack of a will to win; coaching ineptness (???) and countless other things we are not privy to.

Do I have faith it can change? Yes.

Will it change? Probably not.

I'm a Saints fan. To be honest, I'm not going to die if we end up 0-16 and I'm not going to become rich if we go 13-3 and win the SuperBowl. It's just part of the ride right now. Yes, the road we are on a bumpy and full of ginormous craters, but there has got to be smoother roads ahead.

Re: Seasons over
 

SEASON'S OVER??????

C'mon guys, this is the time when your team needs your support the most. How can the season possibly be over after only playing 3 games.

Yes we have lots of injuries and a lot of young players blah! blah! blah!

We also have another 13 games to play. The season isn't over until we mathematically can't make the playoffs. Then you people who are already writing this season off can quite correctly say "told you so" and I will tip my hat to you all.

Until/if that happens I'm not going to write this season off. This is the Saints your talking about, its never easy supporting those players out there dressed in black and gold, we all know that, but don't give up on them yet!!!!!!!!!!!

GEAUX SAINTS!

Re: Seasons over
 

I'm one of the original season ticket holders. I've seen the good & the bad.
This year it's just plain ugly considering we have a top 5 QB & a coach who took us to our first super bowl. I wish I could say I am optimistic about this season or our future. I fear Drew is pissing away his opportunity to become a hall of fame inductee and he will regret it. If this continues we will regret it. I don't believe the season will get any better. That doesn't mean I'm not a fan. I'm a realist.

Re: Seasons over
 

Drew isn't at risk of being a HOFer... the guy could retire tomorrow and be a first ballot HOFer when eligible.

Re: Seasons over
 

Was it Parcells who said, "You are what your record is?"

Re: Seasons over
 

Drew is a walking hall of famer, he would have to turn into Darren Sharper and start the drug and stuff party for him not to be. There is nothing left on the field for him to do. The guy is third in pass yards, has one of the best completion percentages too, and if he plays for 3-4 more years he is going to end up number 1 in yards

Re: Seasons over
 

Technically you're right, but polishing the 0-3 turd just means you're not accepting our reality. I haven't seen Guido lately...did he run out of polish?

Re: Seasons over
 

On the bright side...

Tickets will be getting cheap and my name may come up for Season Tickets soon!!!

Re: Seasons over
 

We're going to go one and done anyway first time we go back because this team needs to gain experience all over. Brees is not enough for that.

Re: Seasons over
 

We forgot how to win. Zero preseason wins (yes, preseason does matter) and zero wins after 3 games this year. Since our Turd-Dropping OT loss to Tennessee last year, we are 3-8 regular season and 3-12 including the preseason. Those 3 wins...Jaguars, Tampa, and Atlanta by a combined 21 points.

The reason good teams play well with injuries is coaching. Our coaching staff sucks significantly. And that ain't gonna change until Payton fires his buddies Johnson, Vitt, McMahon, and that conditioning clown of a coach., which he definitely will not do.

We ain't done this year, but the fat lady's shadow is on the stage.

Another memorable quote from Bill ...

"Losers assemble in small groups & complain, winners assemble as a team and find ways to win". Bill Parcells

Re: Seasons over
 

Like he did in Dallas and then again in Miami!!!

Re: Seasons over
 

Unfortunately you missed the point. I was stating ...

Oh, uh never mind :rolleyes:.

Re: Seasons over
 

That's another problem, Saints crowd ain't what it used to be...

Sure you still have a few diehards hanging from the rafters making all the noise they can like SkyMike...

But most of the Plaza, all of the Loge and even the lower terrace are people who sit on their hands...

Last two games I attended with my daughter, the people next to us gave us the Sunday Church Ladies Judgemental Eye when we cheered...

Too much corporate sales of bosses with "traveling secretaries;" they should just stay in their hotel rooms and give dictation...

Donate the tickets to local school kids with good grades and attendance for a tax write-off and get the Dome Advantage back!!!

No, not you! I was talking to the other Idiot!

I hope you told them to go jump in the lake!
