This wasn’t last years Browns team we played. This years Browns team may be even worse than last years Browns team.

It was pretty sic though the way Payton ****ed with their kickers head. He’s going to have nightmares of Payton for the rest of his career.
Hats off to Lutz for going over and consoling him after. Love the sportsmanship. We are lucky we landed him.

I'm sure the reason the Vikings lost the championship game was because they "knew deep inside" the Saints should have been there!

I'm sure Cleveland thinks they'll go 17-2...

Now, if you want to be a homer, that's cool, we're all homers to some degree, but there's a difference between homerism and foolishment.



He doesn't believe that. It's just intellectual dishonesty. In other words he is talking ****.

If every year he truly believed we we're going to win the SB he'd bet everything he owns on it. But he doesn't believe it anymore than you or I do. He's lying.

Hey, I'm as optimistic as the next guy, maybe more, but this gets old - the questioning our fandom if we don't think we're going undefeated every year. My landlord is a similar kind of homer for the whiners. It's sad. I mean, it's borderline childish. But, whatever. Some people have to sooth themselves to sleep at night. LOL

And he does it to get a reaction. He lives for it. When it boils down to it He’s just a troll.

Trying to project what a team will do in the very next game is futile. That was verified by your claim that the Saints would lose to the Browns. You stated the Saints would be 0-2 and that we could "count on it". Trying to project what the entire season will bring is beyond futile. My hopeful prediction of 18-1 is just as valid as any other at this point.

In week one we faced a Tampa Bay team that was projected to go 0-3 to begin the season. Fitzpatrick put up five TD's on our defense. In week two they faced what was supposed to be an elite defense in the Eagles. Fitzpatrick added FOUR more TD's against them in a win. I wouldn't be surprised if they beat the Steelers down in Tampa next week, as well, to go 3-0.

Cleveland is a much improved team that played the Steelers to a tie in week one. I will "predict" that they win some games this season. Probably starting with the Jets next week.

The Saints defense may not end up being quite as good as most around here anticipated, but I would venture to guess that they are no where near as bad as some currently believe.

I don't care what our record is at any point. Never have. There's nothing that can be done about past games. I only put my hope on the next game.

No he's not! He's an optimist who loves his Saints! He's also a well informed methodical thinker. Be careful throwing labels out there. I question your fandom on a regular basis.....just sayin'.

Stop all this name calling on the board too dammit!!!
