Fan from the PACNW

NWSaintsFan · 11-06-2011, 10:29 PM

Been a fan since 2006, I was a huge Brees fan when he was with the Chargers and when the Saints signed him I knew he was going to be huge for this team. I remember Charger fans at the time saying he would never be more than a 3rd tier QB. Haha.

I became a fan BEFORE the 2006 season cause I knew they would be huge, but I was still a fan during their 2007 and 2008 season when they were just mehhhh. I'm not a bandwagon fan, I'll be here for the good, and the bad.

I root for the Seahawks because they are a hometown team, but if they play the Saints, you will see me in Black and Gold, not Blue and Green.

I'm with you there. I live in Washington too but I'm all about the Saints now. Even though I became a fan when they were a winning team, that doesn't mean I'm gonna abandon them as soon as they stop winning. Faithful to the end.

Welcome to the site. Glad to have you. Personally, I don't mind having another team that you can root for. Just as long as if the two teams meet you root for the Black and Gold and we will all get along fine!!

I was at the Saints playoff game last year when they came to Seattle. I learned the hard way that Seahawks fans aren't very friendly to away guests. It's funny what one playoff win will do to a bunch of fans.

I don't have a lot of nice things to say about the Seahawk fans. Fairweather and bandwagon fans come to mind. The 12th man aspect is a joke. They only make noise when the game is close and I'm old enough to remember the black out days of the 1990's. They generaly whine about east coast bias, getting screwed by the ref's, and having to travel more miles then any other team.

By the way welcome, I'm new here too lol.

Meh, it's loud pretty much every play the defense is on the field. I was at the Bengals Hawks game this year, and even though the Hawks were getting beat bad, it was still loud as heck.

They have some of the most homeristic fans though. It's annoying to hear them talk. I was in a Seahawks jersey and I STILL almost got into an argument with a guy. He said, no joke,

"I would rather have TJax than a guy like Brady or Brees, he can use his feet to get out of trouble, Brady and Brees can't avoid sacks"

Obviously that guy has never seen a Saints game this season, I have never seen Brees as mobile as he is this year. Man even if Brees had his feet glued to the ground I'd take him over TJax.

As far as them getting screwed by the refs? Yeah, they get a TON of bad calls, probably more than any team, but they take it too far. They use it as a crutch. They make it seem like they are bad because of the refs, but in reality they are bad, and the refs just make it worse.

Personally, I have been a HUGE critic of Tavaris Jackson, as well as the concept of the "mobile NFL QB" in modern history. Frankly, I could not believe Minnesota was making TJax their franchise future and TJax was every reason why they brought Favre there.

The scrambling NFL QB, which translates into: a poor pocket QB with happy feet, never pulls down the big wins and they end up getting injured. Mike Vick is the best of these because he does have a good arm, but his inconsistency makes him an afterthought.

When the Seahawks brought TJax in to start this season, I felt there were better options for a short term solution for Seattle.
