da Saints

**0rion** · 09-27-2009, 09:21 PM

I've rooted for these guys for 20something years. Out of those 20something years I can count on 1 hand the times I've had something to look forward to from those guys. It's normally just a shit sandwich year in and year out. We had a few decent years mixed in there. The Saints D of the late 80's with Pat Swilling, Ricky Jackson, Vaughn Johnson, and Sam Mills was fun to watch. They destroyed people and Bobby Hebert and company would score maybe once a game. I remember when our field goal kicker was the leading scorer. I remember the first playoff game they ever went too......and lost. I remember the first wild card game they won....and then lost the following week. I remember Ditka signing on as coach and thinking he was the saviour we needed....and then he quit but not before drafting Ricky "pot smoker" Williams and costing us a shit ton of draft picks.
The only time I've really been excited to be a Saints fan was Peyton's first year and this year. The Saints actually have a pretty well balanced team for the first time in maybe their entire history. I would like to see their D keep stepping up and playing good but I think they're going to do good things this year and if they don't...won't matter because it won't be the first time they've disappointed me.

wasn't this game over hours ago?

Drew Brees is a hell of a Qb and one of the best in the whole league. and well yeah lol I hate Reggie Bush and think hes overrated, but hes good for a big play here and there lol

I was at that FIRST EVER Saints' playoff game. The Vikings destroyed us...I think it was 42-3...and it was a HOME GAME!! I love the saints...have been a fan since being a kid in Biloxi.....I saw the Dome Patrol and the Cajun Cannon many a time in the Dome. I'm pretty excited about this year too...but I'm still cautious. And Bush is WAAAAYYYYY over-rated. Gotta be able to go North/South in the NFL if you're ever gonna amount to anything.

Da Saints flop in the playoffs. Always have and always will.

prediction.....they're gonna hand dallas their ass to them come dec. 19th.

The Saints do look pretty good this year. Pierre Thomas and (Mike Bell?) should be the 1-2 punch they need. Bush is definitely over rated. Keep him around for maybe KR or PR duties.

I predict Bush will not be a Saint next year.

He can’t even be trusted to return kicks since he refuses to run forward until he dances around loosing yards.

he averages 3.7 yds per carry and i dont think hes had a 500 yd season since he came into the leage lol I dont know what Adrian Petersons numbers are, but you'd laugh your head off if you compared them lol

I now have a new team to hate.

**korndawg** · 09-28-2009, 01:26 PM

Go vikings!

I like watching Brett and ex-gator Percy Harvin hook up.

**korndawg** · 09-28-2009, 01:43 PM

Harvin is a stud. I had my doubts but he's proving me wrong. Vikings have the talent, but I think they'll still blow their wad when it comes down to it.

the thread title isn't "da Vikings". You guys go queer up someone else's thread.

**GTP231** · 09-28-2009, 05:11 PM

Can I get a cliffs notes. I saw Da Saints and went into a coma dream of about football disappointment

had to re-bump this one. I was hunting but listened to most of the game on sirius. They pounded the Giants like it was a warm up game. Brees made the Giants secondary his bitch the whole game. They're gonna lose a few games this year but if they stay healthy they're a definite threat. This week at Miami worries me...it's those games you think they should easily win that they end up losing.

**toi tyme** · 10-20-2009, 05:28 PM

I loved how they crushed the Giants

I think this team has really turned around.. Great Coach IMO......

like i said before, if he had stayed with the Cowboys, i wonder how they would of turned out
