We started the season 1-3. Finished 10-6 and won the division. If a team led by Aaron Brooks and Jim Haslett can do it than I have no reason to believe that Brees and Payton can't.

Now back to 4-4! Looking like a playoffpush.

yep, 1-3 start then finished with 10 wins and a playoff win. O and D will have to get much better to have a prayer at that. Atlanta looks really good though. we just need to split with all division rivals if at all possible.

yeah but remember how good our D-line was that year?

not to diss our young players on this years team but that 2000 D got some serious pressure on QB's

I'm proud to say I was there. Some dumbshit gave us tickets on the front row, midfield of the home sideline.

It
Was
Glorious

Little known fact: Steve Gleason was a rookie that year and was on the sideline. After the Hakeem drop, he grabbed a dry erase board and wrote "just did it", then held it up for the fans. This was a play on Nike's "just do it" campaign that was popular at the time.

None of knew who the Frick he was, but I loved him for that and followed his career closely ever since.

I had season tickets that year. We lost our first game to the Lions and I was like shite why do we always suck. It was a magical year. I thought it was over when Jeff went down.

What were Atlanta and Carolina's records when we were 1-3 back then?

It's important because part of the reason we were still in the mix late last year despite sucking is that Carolina and Atlanta sucked too.

Being 1-3 with both Carolina and Atlanta BOTH at 4-0 is pretty unprecedented and it's what makes a comeback so unlikely... though obviously I'm rooting for it.
