and the entire Saints front office for the incredible fifteen year stretch of competitive football. From Sean Payton to the water boy, this organization has been the gold standard. As fans we can only ask for one thing, and that is this team is always prepared for battle. We may lose because of a bad bounce, a poor officials call, or a better opponent, but never because the Saint players are not prepared. I would not trade our ownership, and front office for any other team in the NFL.

Congratulations on another win today against a rival. Good luck the rest of the season, and maybe the odd shape ball will bounce our way this year. It's an absolute shame that the players, and fans can not participate in another great season by our home team. Our mayor has been given bad information. Let the fans and players enjoy this teams success. Please.

I know LSU is struggling right now but overall this is the golden age of football in LA.

A lot of these young posters, all they remember are winning teams. They take it for granted.

Your OP is spot on.

I’ll go a step further and say the Saints have been the best team in the NFL the last 4 years.

Just had bad fortune during the playoffs.

The numbers don’t lie.

The problem with the playoff system is there is a very high probability of producing a fluke outcome

If our Mayor is relying on bad information, so are the mayors of every other NFL city.

One name explains it all: Russell Erxleben

WIKI

quote:
In 1979 he was unexpectedly drafted in the first round (eleventh pick overall) by the New Orleans Saints.

quote:
In Erxleben's first NFL game, on September 2, 1979, the Saints and the archrival Atlanta Falcons went into overtime with the score 34-34. Midway through overtime, a snap went over Erxleben's head and rolled to the goal line. Erxleben picked the ball up and made a hurried chest pass. The pass was intercepted by Atlanta's James Mayberry at the 6-yard line, and he trotted into the end zone for a touchdown and a 40-34 Falcon victory.

quote:
Following his disappointing rookie season, Erxleben missed a game-tying field goal attempt in the 1980 season opener, resulting in a 26-23 loss to the San Francisco 49ers, a team that had won four games over the previous two seasons. The loss was the first of 14 consecutive defeats for the Saints, who ended the year 1-15.
