I'm not projecting a 7-9 season, didn't say anything of the sort.

I said we have been consistently mediocre in the past. But I have no problem reflecting on past failures and identifying where the problems lie.

And that's what it is all about. You churn 3 straight 7-9 seasons, 4 of the last 5 seasons, you're on your third d coord and set a record for dead money. You don't brush that away as if it doesn't exist, didn't exist, etc. If we were making good moves those things would not have happened.

If as a fan you choose to pump sunshine and rainbows I don't have a problem with it. I think when it becomes an issue is when you go around attacking the other members of the board for talking about facts and why they're hesitant to get sucked in again and not really look at who this team is, etc. Pump sunshine all day if it tickles your fancy, but leave those with a critical view of the team to share their thoughts without being bothered.

One thing I can say for sure is I specifically remember the dude and dizzle still on the board last year during the losing. We stuck with the team through the entire year, ups and downs!

Bullcrap. Those two weeks I didn't post was because you posted nothing but negative venom. Non-stop. You didn't stick with the team. You lambasted them constantly. You went on and on about how they sucked. You pointed out everything that you felt was wrong with them.

Yeah, You supported them.

Sad.

You aren't sticking WITH the team now. You are sticking it to them. All you do is run them down.

AsylumGuido · 06-21-2017, 09:08 PM

Oh, and, of course, once again, for the umpteenth time you post ...

7-9 for the last 3 years and 4 of the last 5!

Is that the only tune you know? Get over it dude. You post the same tired crap three or four times a day. Holy crap you get old.

And yet all your posts are just ways of intimidating and bullying people when they don't share your views.

Who cares if we say what's wrong with the team, that's sports and this is a discussion forum. I'm looking forward to the season as much as anyone, but talking about previous failures is part of sports and it's not always sunshine and rainbows.

If you get so wound up about it, then let the posters that are mature enough speak between ourselves and don't comment if you can't do so without causing an argument.

I began pointing out when y'all post negative crap about the Saints. If it seems that I am bullying those few of you that are always so critical it is because 90% of your posts are negative regarding the Saints. At least spk opening admits he is a pessimist and that is just his nature. But most of the members here get tired of reading the same negative, critical, and sometimes hateful posts over and over again.

I have no issue with criticism. But it gets tiresome when it is all that comes out of a person's mouth, or off the tip's of their fingers.

Guess what? We are all aware that the Saints have gone 7-9 the past three years and 4 of the last 5. That doesn't have to part of a post multiple times each day. We know that the Byrd, Browner and Gallete deals were bad in hindsight. No need to constantly use that tired point in lambasting the front office constantly.

Sorry, I choose to always be enthusiastic about my Saints. If you want to call that sunshine and rainbows, fine! Nothing wrong with sunshine and rainbows. I for one know that there is nothing I can do as a fan to bring success to the Saints. I simply strive to make my loyalty as enjoyable as possible. That, my friend is made more difficult constantly having to wade through negative posts.

Sice we are posting such "negative venom" right now why aren't you gone? It's crap, you left because you are a fair weather fan and can't handle reality.
