Young Saints fans took it hard

This is only one example of many that are coming out right now. For children still learning how to express their emotions, that game must have been extraordinarily difficult. I mean, look how the grown adults reacted!
There was a post by wwl on facebook that was talking about it this morning, and a lot of young fans cried it out.
Welcome to Saints fandom, youngins!

I’m only 30 and have had my fair share of saints heart breakers. Hopefully this will be their worst ones

for sure but know that you (and I) have lived through the better 30 years of Saints football.

No doubt. We’ve seen more than our share over the years. Hell, Atlanta named their Hail Mary the Big Bend, they beat us so many times on last second TD’s. This was all before Payton and Brees mostly, so I think we don’t expect that to happen anymore. But it sometimes does. Still a very good season!

Oh yeah, these kids have it so hard having to watch the Saints lose their 6th game of the year in the playoffs. Spoiled little bitches don't know how good they have it.

I'm 26, and I remember missing the extra point against Jacksonville, the Beast Mode run, San Fran game, blocked extra point against Denver last season, and plenty other devastating moments and I wanted to cry Sunday night. I was nauseous until yesterday morning. I don't blame kids for being upset, they don't have the Gleason blocked punt or the Super Bowl to think back to and feel a little bit better.

I can honestly say as a child this loss would have absolutely devastated me. Crushed. My whole life revolved around the Saints when I was a kid.
I stood outside in line at Soundtrek to get tickets to the Eagles playoff game in 92. I was a young teen at the time and will never forget the heartache watching us choke away the 4th quarter of that game.
I remember as a young kid just being devastated by some of our late-game collapses against the 49ers, Rams and Falcons.
I feel for these kids. It truly hurts and they don't understand or know how to process that.
As an adult, it still hurts but I have grown up concerns to distract me.
Like Gus said in Lonesome Dove, sometimes the best thing you can do with death (or a Saints collapse) is ride off from it.

I’m 36 and if my wife would have recorded me the other night that’s how I would have looked, granted I was at work, we all looked like that, just like girl in video lol. I’ll never forget after beast mode run against Seahawks turning around and yelling at my wife. That’s when she said I need to re-evaluate my self 
Overall I’ve been somewhat more chill. To be fair, she was trying to discuss women stuff right after the run, I mean really?

I never understood nor can I comprehend how people will break and tear up their own shite over a damn football game. They will just have to go out and buy the same stuff all over again. I love my Saints, but I'm not tearing up anything I own over a damn loss.

I mean, she’s like 6 , and I was just joking around about myself.........for the most part

Yeah, I feel bad for the youngsters for sure. We older folks who remember the pre-Mora days were numbed to Saints losses literally from birth, so we had that extra "cushion", so to speak.

Man, I can warmly remember the pure jubilation I felt after the conference realignment to know that we didn't have to play the 9ers twice a year every year.
Those were some really good Saints teams in the late 80s, very early 90s. But, the 9ers always spoiled the fun.

My son is 13 and has been watching football with me since he was born. I tell him all the time about the 2 Billie Jos, Brooks, Blake, Tolliver, Everett , Fourcade, Hebert and how much they sucked compared to Brees and how good he has it watching a QB as good as him. He was pretty bummed Sunday Night too, but he got over it.

I have ridden the roller coaster of emotions as a saints fan in my 41 years. I remember being very young playing basketball in the driveway with my brothers on the day Archie wad traded. That's the first time they brought tears to my eyes. I didn't understand it. Why would you trade Archie?
I was heartbroken when Morten Andersen missed missed a 60 yarder that would have beaten Tampa in what was probably a meaningless game between two losing teams.
I had tears in my eyes when they beat the rams in the dome to win their first playoff game.
The 2009 run was unreal and ended in a couple tears of joy after the Tracy porter pick.
That was the last time they brought tears to my eyes. I was dumbfounded Sunday. It's still unreal to me. I was in shock. Then I turned around and saw my 10 year old son that lives and breathes anything sports. He was crying. First I felt bad for him, then I chuckled because he had no clue what the first 40 years were like for saints fans. Then I just felt old cause there are way more important things that could and have brought tears to my eyes and I can't imagine the saints doing it anymore.

Let's keep things in perspective.
The Saints were born in 1967.
They have ONE road playoff win.
They first won the Division in 1991, a full 24 years after they were born.
2017 was a GREAT season for the New Orleans Saints, when one puts things in perspective. This is a "hard luck" franchise that has never had the advantage of playing in weak Division. The Saints shared the Division with Joe Montana's SF 49ers for Joe's whole career there. That's a lot of years. The Saints are in the NFC South, which is probably the toughest division now.
The Pats have enjoyed their Division, with its NY Jets, Bills and Dolphins. This is not a historically strong Division.
The Steelers have enjoyed THEIR Division, with its Browns and Bengals -- yes the Ravens are usually a good team.
GO SAINTS GO!
It will never be easy for the Saints. I feel certain of that.

This takes me back to my youth. I went to my first Saints game back in 1967 (yes, I'm old...insert jokes HERE.) The Saints were playing the Pittsburgh Steelers and had yet to win their first game. The led 10-0 late in the 4th and gave up 2 quick TDs to lose 14-10. I'll never forget walking back to the car with my dad and hearing him saying, "well, that sucked. Hopefully, these tough losses don't become a habit with these guys."
