To be honest, the no call took away a lot of my passion for the sport but not for the Saints. I suspect once the season starts I'll be back to normal, but like you said I don't really care right now and I feel like nothing can happen to make me look forward to going through next season as of now

It was odd, I didn’t even have a reaction. I had a bad feeling even after the coin toss in OT we were gonna lose. After the game I said frick it and didn’t watch football news and missed all but last 1.5 minutes of the SB. I was at my in laws and got there at that time of the game.
ETA: I can’t remember if I even posted on here on game night afterwards. If I did it was one or 2 post and then I didn’t even click on ST till maybe a few weeks ago, iirc. I know I stayed away from football. Man we’ve had some brutal playoff losses over the years.

This is exactly how I feel.

quote:you and me both man. The only thing that take this knot out of ny stomach is for us to start strong next year and allow me get some joy back for football. If we have a bad start next year, I will be a depressed Saints fan. This type of stuff is harder to swallow than going into a year knowing you are bad. (I have a good feeling about next year btw. We have a championship caliber team. We’ll see)

It's unfortunate, but I'm in the same boat. The way the last two seasons have ended just really take it out of you. At least the Vikings game ended on a Hail Mary...should've never been allowed to happen, but it's part of the game. The NFC championship, however, is something you never get over. It's hard to accept all the time, money and emotions you invest in a season like that for it to all come crashing down on the most obvious bad-call possibly in all of sports. How do you get excited ever again knowing the precedent is now set (and no safeguards being implemented) for an entire season to be rendered meaningless on one call? Add to that our window is closing fast with Drew and the cap situation and it may be a long time before we ever build a team this caliber again and I just don't know how I can keep swallowing the disappointment

I’m following along with free agency and everything, and I like the moves we’ve made, but damn, I feel like I’m just going through the motions.
Am I alone here?

well put. I have the same feels. But I'm sure the first tailgate and the first time i sit my fatass in my seats next season I'll be excited just to watch the Saints play football again.
