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

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.

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.
