Indeed.

We have awesome Offense, Brees is amazing even when he throws picks...and then our D got...erm...essentially Davonta Freeman doused our D in gasoline and lit it up. It don't matter how good your D-line is, if your secondary is not doing its job (glares at TommieLee Lewis and Sterling Moore) you gonna lose every time.

Imma keep watching the games, though. Something will give eventually. It always does. Maybe when Delvin Breaux gets better.

Y'all can still win that division, but you didn't make it any easier.

The strongest divisions so far are the NFC East and AFC West who are both 8-4. The NFC South and AFC South are both 4-8. All other divisions are 6-6. The Patriots are the only team with a lead of 2 or more games over the rest of their (our) division
Thus foiling part 1 of JetGoodell's master plan.

I needed this optimism. Thank you, Trumpo. It's football fans like you that keep me coming back to this thread.

I have a soft spot for the Saints, since they too are victims of a Goodell power trip. And ironically, wasn't it the commish himself who led the attempted coverup of the domestic abuse scandal?

The awesomest Saints moment for me is still the Saints-Irsays Super Bowl with the onside kick at the start of the second half.

I too, have a soft spot for New Orleans. I've been a Brees fan since his San Diego days, and when he went to the Saints, and they started to do well in the wake of Katrina, I couldn't help but cheer them on. If I wasn't a Pittsburgh fan, I'd be a Saints fan. There's just something about that black and gold color scheme

Dare I ask what atheism has to do with any of this?

"Saints"... it's a catholic thing
Their savior is Breesus.

I count myself in as a potential Saints fan. For me it was the day Tom Dempsey kicked the 63 yard FG versus the Lions at the old Stadium (Rice U?). It was the season after the Baltimore Colts won SB V vs Dallas. Dempsey broke the existing record by 7 yards! It was an unbelievable feat (pun intended). And Tom had a deformed foot. Always liked the Saints after that, and besides I was raised Catholic. After the Colts left town, the Saints were the main team I rooted for bc of these reasons. Hang in there Lum.

My high school's nickname was the Saints, and they were my "NFC team" until Seattle changed conferences, especially when they were in the same division as my best friend's favoured Niners.

Also, if you could contact your hoodoo/voodoo friends and send some heals for Russell Wilson, I'll owe you a beignet.

What is happening? Is there actually a team we can all agree not to hate?

It's all in the namesake. Plus Breesus is their leader.

You know you're from New Orleans if instead of asking, "What would you do for a Klondike Bar," you ask, "What would you do for a beignet?"

*Sniffs.* I LOVE ALL YOU GUYS. XD

I hate all teams not named Denver Broncos.

[Idzequitch]

On a barely related note: Who decided that the Saints was a good football nickname? I mean, the real saints have been dead for quite some time. I don't imagine death helps one be better at football.

Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering.

What are you scared of, Ameri? And how can I alleviate your suffering?

The Saints technically are UNDEAD, as they are in Heaven. So you have one of two picks:

1.) New Orleans is mostly Catholic ---> Catholic theology of the communion of Saints ----> New Orleans Saints!

2.) Hoodoo involves undead stuff ---> Some people think Hoodoo is cool ----> New Orleans Saints?

The Saints bring people together over their awesomeness, even when they are 0-3.

Marc Sessler reports:

"Carson Wentz has now been compared to Andrew Luck, Jim Kelly, Ben Roethlisberger, Aaron Rodgers & Cam Newton. Joe Montana feeling left out."

Why does nobody realize that comparing rookies to proven legends is only going to make them BOMB UNDER THE PRESSURE?! I love Wentz, and I want him to do well, and EVERY TIME PEOPLE DO THIS THE PLAYER BOMBS HORRIBLY. They compared Matt Barkley to Tom Brady and Joe Montana, LOOK AT HIM NOW.

I don't have any sympathy for the Saints. None whatsoever.

I imagine I could guess why.

I hope the Saints never win another playoff game, frankly. They got their rings, and then got caught.
