Fake news

A tough task to be sure, but never say never.

Re: 18-1 Baby!
 

Prove me right!!!

Re: 18-1 Baby!
 

We ain't going 18-1 playing like we did today. I love the optimism. I'm optimistic too, but the fact is that today we sucked and would be 0-2 had we been playing a decent team.

Re: 18-1 Baby!
 

Believe the saints suck....

Re: 18-1 Baby!
 

We need help. 18-1

Re: 18-1 Baby!
 

Only in the land of make believe

Re: 18-1 Baby!
 

beLIEve. I’m glad we won but that wasn’t exactly reassuring.

Re: 18-1 Baby!
 

Two weeks down. 18 weeks left until we win it all.

18-1 baby!

Perhaps a color you can't see.

Re: 18-1 Baby!
 

That color isn't reality you're seeing. Optimism is great in its place. 18-1 ain't happening.

Not saying a Super Bowl is outta the question, but the way this team is playing, we're losing more than 1.

Re: 18-1 Baby!
 

TB beat the Iggles today... they are a way better than than most realized. To think that if we don't commit turnovers, as bad as the defense played, we still have a shot to win the game. :bng:

You believe what you want and I'll be positive. You expect less than I choose to expect.

Believe. Sorry, but it's the way I roll.

18-1 Baby!

:bng:

Re: 18-1 Baby!
 

Are you being positive or foolish? Nobody that watches any amount of Football would think this team is going 18-1. Nobody.

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.

18-1 Baby!

Believe!

Re: 18-1 Baby!
 

I'm optimistic. 2 weeks we're 1-1. I see what I see and give my honest opinion.

If my kids bring home 'A''s I am happy with the progress. If they're bringing in Ds & Fs, I don't pat them on the head & say 'Great Job!'.

That's how I roll.

Re: 18-1 Baby!
 

Believe in what, exactly, or are you just hopeful?

Re: 18-1 Baby!
 

Agreed. That team that took the field today can beat any team in the NFL. I will eat crow. Today proved to me that we can beat anyone as long as they beat themselves first. I also like the sportsmanship the team showed by allowing the Browns to feel like they had a chance.
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.

Re: 18-1 Baby!
 

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

KICK EM WHEN THEY UP, KICK EM WHEN THEY DOWN

Re: 18-1 Baby!
 

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

:lolup:

Re: 18-1 Baby!
 

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.

Re: 18-1 Baby!
 

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

Re: 18-1 Baby!
 

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

Re: 18-1 Baby!
 

Go ahead take a sip...why not..

Re: 18-1 Baby!
 

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.

Re: 18-1 Baby!
 

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!!! :argue:

Re: 18-1 Baby!
 

Are you saying Guido is full of shlt?





:confused:

Re: 18-1 Baby!
 

Re: 18-1 Baby!
 

Last year we got trounced in the 1st 2 games. We're 1-1 for the first time in years. This year's team looks better than last year's team at the 2 game mark.

Re: 18-1 Baby!
 

Certainly for a reaction

Re: 18-1 Baby!
 

No. Not a reaction. Just a dollop of positivity into the cesspool of negativity.

Re: 18-1 Baby!
 

Positively full of ****... Absolutely

Re: 18-1 Baby!
 

I don't know if that's true. It might be but I'm not so sure. Last year we loss to a team that went to the NFC championship and one that played in the SB.

Everything remains to be seen. Personally we have potential. I said this on another thread. We could be a good team. Right now we are not playing like a good team. But we have potential.

Re: 18-1 Baby!
 

In all sincerity, though, there really isn't any negative comments on this board. Matter of fact there is no such thing as a negative comment. That's a belief issue. It is an interpretation that makes a comment positive or negative. Just because you don't agree with someone doesn't make them negative unless you are geared toward receiving it that way. That's a personal problem.

And I never take your comments as positive. That's the truth. They never come across that way. They come across as full of ****, but not positive. That's just how I'm geared to interpret what you put out.

Re: 18-1 Baby!
 

Peremptory people like this guy typically have past issues that make them this way. In this case, he attacked someone's grammar because he has been unsuccessful in his attempts to get him permanently banned. Passive Aggression is a following trait. It could be his history with women, his employment, or possibly all the way back to his childhood.

Doesn't matter. Clearly our good posters here are aware. He's hard to tolerate in his self-righteousness. Thing is these people are never as clandestine as they tell themselves they are.

Re: 18-1 Baby!
 

Plus we didn’t give up nearly 50 points at home. At least last year we lost to elite teams. This year we lost to the worst team in the league at home and a division rival at home. I would almost rather be 0-2 with a loss against a non conference team than be 1-1 with a loss to a division rival.
