Message Was There Ever a Year You Felt This Franchise Was Hopeless
Tom Benson and Jim Finks ran this organization into the ground after a few decent years following the ownership change.
Ownership changed in 1986.
Saints made the playoffs in 1987, 1990, 1991, and 1992.
And went 0-4.
From after 1992, til the 2006 season, the Saints made the playoffs a grand total of ONE season.
Thats ONE PLAYOFF appearance in 13 seasons. In an era of free agency. Thanks Benson!
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.
Not that the teams were horrible, it was the cluelessness from head coaching staff to GM and owner.

Not sure who else is my age. I’m 37.
My earliest memories were Bobby Hebert and the Saints being good. Then , for the lion’sshare of elementary, middle school, and high school; I had to endure ridicule for being a Saints fan. Majority of those around me were cowboy fans. KMSS FOX33 can kiss my arse from years of showing cowboys over the Saints.
7-9 was considered not bad.
So many almosts and what ifs.
Then, 2005 off season into 2006
Freshman year of college. Everything changed.
What a run…
We did have a lot more heart ache in the playoffs during that time. But we’ve been. Force in the NFL for quite a while

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.
