If The PATS don't win the AFC East by at least 4 games I say FAILURE. That division will be HORRIBLE this season.The Bills will be the 2nd best there and may only win 7 games. The JETS are DONE.

It's the same way for a lot of LSU fans. Either you don't care, or you're just not a fan. I like the Saints, but they're not my favorite pro team.

This thread is funny. So outside of the most important position on a team, which team is better? Classic.

There's a lot of fail in this thread... not to mention that it's not even who the better team is... but who has the better roster... making it an even more tangled web of tard.

Agreed. The 49ers will never be a real threat to anyone as long as Alex Smith is their QB. There's no chance in hell they go anywhere near another 13-3 fluke record again this year. They will win their shitty division with something like a 9-7 record.

I see them winning 13 again. I think you are forgetting how GREAT of a coach Harbaugh is. I see NOTHING flukey about them last year.

Not sure about that....their schedule is much more difficult this year. Also if you look at the history of teams going 13 or more wins...only a VERY small percentage repeats that again the next year.

I understand this, But This team IS hungry. they came SOOOOOOOOO Close last year. Harbaugh has seen that before and is using THAT as his message to inspire this team, Barring any major injuries, This team is a SOLID fav IMO to win the NFC this year.

Look at my WHOLE post and the reasons behind it before you laugh. I will use the '85 Bears as an example. They got sooooo close in '84 and got beat by the 49ers in the NFC title game, The next year they were lights out great. NOW In NO way am I comparing this 49er D to that of the '85 Bears. BUT its still the way things go in the NFL. Its very possible the niners make a similar runlike the Bears did.

So you started liking the niners 25 years ago. Remind me, what were the niners doing 25 years ago? I just find it laughable that any Louisianian will be an lsu fan but not a saints one. I assure you saints fan were outside of new Orleans before brees. Obviously more fans showed up when we got good, but you seem to know all.about that since you started liking the niners whenever they were winning superbowls.

Actually they were in the heyday of the Montana era. I was about 7 years old and very much enjoyed watching the 49ers with my Grandfather because he was a huge Montana fan due to him being italian catholic. At this impressionable age, my loyalty to the team was born. It was easy to remain a fan of the 49ers because everyone else up there was a Cowboys fan leading to many fun rivalry matchups for my friends and I growing up.
I just find it laughable that you believe that because I was born in La I have to be a Saints fan and to be an LSU fan it is a prerequisite that I cheer for the Saints. That is absolutely idiotic. Let me pose this question: because I was born in in the NW part of the state of La and geographically closer to Dallas. does that mean I have to be Cowboys fan? Or is my citizenship in the state enough to qualify me for required Saints fandom? In LSU's case I went there, so I think I am ok but I was born closer to La Tech so I guess I should like them more to?

and where were they while wearing the brown bags? I don't want to turn this into a fan pissing match but this statement is just ignorant. Just because the fans had a sense of humor about going to watch the team thru some of those horrific years, doesn't mean they still weren't supporting their team. How much opportunity are you really able to give a team when they are getting blown out by halftime every single week? EVERY fanbase in sports has a waxing/waning of fan support based on success. Of fricking course there is going to be more casual fans following a contender than a team who didn't have a winning season in its first 20 years.

Think it is more to the point that the first time the Saints sold out of season tickets was 06. The team was even so shocked they put a banner up commemorating the event in the Dome next to the retired jerseys and SB banner

First, can't believe this damn thread is 15 pages now! I leave and come back and see this. But imo the jury is still out on Alex Smith, he played great, efficient football last year for the first time in his life only because Harbaugh blew a lot of confidence into his arse. I wanna see him do it again this season before annointed him as anything, one thing is for certain he will not catch anyone off guard this season, the cat's out the hat!

They put up a banner in 2006, next to the Super Bowl banner commemorating the SB they hadn't even won yet?

This I agree with.

As for this..Are you seriously questioning how dedicated New Orleans (and surrounding Gulf Coast) is to the Saints?

how much did the 49'ers sell out before they were good?


how much did they sell out from 2000-2010?
