Was A Good Year
 

That had a completely bunk ending.

Just remember folks. We played this team will half our team on IR.

Next year has great things in store for the Saints!

WHODAT!!!

So many young players and rookies started. I love the fresh blood that will fuel this team for years to come. Tough loss today but it is what it is.

Re: Was A Good Year
 

I agree SF. I felt for a while now that this wasn't the year for this team. Too many young players and the injuries were just too much. Get this team healthy, have another stellar draft and maybe a free agent or two and this team will be very dangerous next year.

Re: Was A Good Year
 

This game summed up our season perfectly. A horrible start but the team hanging in there and fighting all they way trough. It ended in heartbreak but I am very proud to be a Saints fan today.

Re: Was A Good Year
 

So right Halo. This will be a team to be reckoned with. I just hope Sean is right about Hill being our future QB. I see Brees with maybe two or three years left.

Re: Was A Good Year
 

I'm not going to spend too much time here this offseason going along with blind optimism. You just do not give a game like that away. We had more than one thing fall into our lap. This was the year, not next year. Not with a 39 year old QB.

Re: Was A Good Year
 

Promise?

Re: Was A Good Year
 

You really think Hill is our future QB? Oh my goodness.

Re: Was A Good Year
 

we had the game and one of our stellar rookies screwed up.

Philli is beatable also. Weather would have been our biggest issue.

So a super bowl slipped through our fingers IMO.

Who would have thought it at the beginning of the season when we were 0-2?

one hell of a ride.

lets talk FA and the draft.

Re: Was A Good Year
 

This one will sting a little but there was no quit in the Saints. Lots of injuries, guys stepped up and we still had a chance. Extremely young team, talented bunch in the secondary but a mistake cost us. What can you do?

We'll be back. It hurts though.

It's been a pleasure posting ALL YEAR on this board.

Who Dat :bng:

Re: Was A Good Year
 

What will we do next year about Sean Payton out-coaching himself. Players get better with experience. Coaches who fail to learn from experience don't get better. They just hope to get lucky.

Re: Was A Good Year
 

We would have got slaughtered by the pats. Best to step aside and watch either the Vikes or Eagles get their head chopped off.

Re: Was A Good Year
 

This season by far exceeded my expectations. What looked bleak from the start turned out to be a very exciting one. I haven’t watched this many football games in a few years... both Saints and collectively. I am thankful for that.

Re: Was A Good Year
 

one heck of a year, thank you saints for a wild fun year with hopes for the next year being even better!

Re: Was A Good Year
 

I doubt the Pats will get by the Jaguars; I don't want the vikes to make NFL history and be the 1st team to play a Super Bowl in their home stadium!

Re: Was A Good Year
 

I would love to see the Jags beat the Pats. Good story Tom Coughlin fired by the Giants returns to Jacksonville to bring that team into contention.

Re: Was A Good Year
 

The main thing I hate is we didn't get a chance to improve our away record in playoffs(chance is gone cuz we will be hosting the rest) and shut people up that the saints can't play in the cold weather.

Re: Was A Good Year
 

When the season started I was only hoping for a winning season and that at least a couple of our draft picks would be solid starters. After the second game, that looked like too much to wish for and I was just hoping not to be the laughing stock of the league again.

But since the second week of the division, the team exceeded everyone's expectations. We won the division, which was generally thought of as the best division in football this year. The draft class is considered by many to be the best of any team in decades. The Saints finally have a shutdown corner, a pro bowl level tackle and a dynamic running back that has the ability to score from anywhere on the field. And we were literally "in it" until time expired against the most well rounded team in the league in the second round of the playoffs.

This team showed it has heart. It would've been easy to check out at half time. Or give up after being blown out in the first two games of the season. Or given up as the injuries just kept coming. But they didn't. They kept on fighting. I loved that and am proud to be a fan of this team.

It was a fantastic year. Can't wait till next season.

WhoDat!!
