2017 when the team started 0-2 after three straight 7-9 seasons, and seemingly no ability to fix it’s obvious problems. Payton was obviously done. Brees was being wasted. What was the point. Why can’t we field any semblance of an offense or run the ball.

My entire life from 1968- the day Mora walked through the door. A brief interlude when Bum got us to 8-8 and everybody lost their shite.

Any year from 1967-77, mid-1984/85, mid-1993-1999, 2003-05, 2014 to early part of 2017. The Carolina game after an 0-2 start seemed to change things.
And then starting with last year. And I don’t have serious hope for 2023. The Saints may win the division and a playoff game but their ceiling is the divisional round for the foreseeable future. That’s nothing that excites me. As long as Dennis Allen and Pete Carmichael are around, I don’t have any serious hope.

The only time I ever almost gave up on this team was the last 2-3 Haslett years. Those we were the absolute worst for me.
I’ll never forget that stupid ad the team ran during late-stage Haslett. The one where they had the “teams” sitting in a waiting room and having their number called with a “Gotta Have Faith” motto.
No. Gotta have results. Hoping and wishing and praying for good things to happen does nothing in the league.

Hopeless? Never hopeless.
Not expecting much in the way of Post-season Wins? I've had that feeling about the Saints before many, many seasons.

went to the Browns-Saints game with my stepdad in 1999.
Saints led the whole game and the browns scored on a hail mary on the last play. A Tipped pass in the endzone.
We picked that game to go to because... you might have guessed it... felt like we'd win that one.
On the drive home I remember feeling like what's the point?
Then the next week I think we were playing the Giants on the road, and they scored on the last play of the first half on a hail mary.
And you might could have guessed but that pass was also deflected in the endzone.
It's hilarious to reminisce on those games now, but 19 year old TideSaint was fricking furious watching that Browns debacle.

We were still waiting to get out of the New Orleans Center parking garage after the game, and during the postgame interviews on 870 he said something like "Well, I did knock it down, but I guess it went up." It seemed like in every car in that garage, people started cursing and sitting on their horns... I can laugh at it now, but we were pretty mad back then.

Not sure who else is my age. I’m 37.
My earliest memories were Bobby Hebert and the Saints being good.
Then you really don't have a great appreciation for just how bad this franchise was for the first nearly 20 years of it's existence. Forget playoffs. The Saints didn't have their first winning season until 1987! They weren't just one of the worst franchises in the NFL. They were one of the worst in all of professional sports.
What you experienced in the mid-late 90's was the "norm"...not an outlier. The outlier was the 7 year period from 1987-1993. Basically ever year from 1968 - 1986, then 1994-1999 most (even if they would not admit it) felt the franchise was hopeless.
