Playoffs or bust?

this is a discussion within the Saints Community Forum; I didn't read it as negative. Although the topic itself can probably turn negative. I'm an optimist and I'm loyal. So even if we had a terrible season, I'd still have faith in the coaching staff to try to turn ...

Re: Playoffs or bust?

But truth is, I think this season we'll see a lot of improvement.

I do too, I am very cautiously optimistic.

Re: Playoffs or bust?

I just want to watch some football. I have no expectations in June. We could win a lot or lose a lot... I'm not worried about the ramifications until that time comes.

For me it's playoffs. That could change depending on how tough the division and conference is but barring an 11-5 record and still missing the playoffs I'll be ready for big change. I don't think Brees will stick around if it not at the very least a week 16 determination.
Starting out with a win from the get go could very well be a determining factor. 4 0-4 starts will start ****ing with their heads.
1 more month till camp. 1 more.
That's my expectation, yes. Playoffs or get out. Ever think Drew is thinking the same?

I do. He did tweet that he was getting tired of telling himself "wait till next year". Given the time it could have been simply frustration but it is very uncharacteristic of him to put something like that on social media.
I think it will depend on how the season goes. If we miss the playoffs with an 11-5 or so record and he sees positive development he stays.

If not I think he moves on.

Once again, try getting your facts straight. It would have been uncharacteristic of Brees to put something like that on social media because he never did. Brees was interviewed by Mike Nabors and Nabors posted the following tweet without any context.


Nabors later posted the following tweet explaining that the context of the quote had nothing to do with any possibility of leaving the Saints for another team. It had to do with his own career.


To further place this all in context, the interview was immediately following the final game of the season against the Falcons. Brees subsequently expressed and stressed his desire to play with the Saints well into his forties.

Do you ever research anything before you post it as fact?
