This team’s performance reminded me of the days when fans wore paper bags over their heads. Very bad! Hope they play better on Sunday or it will be a very long and boring season.

The late 80s were awesome.

The Dome Patrol: Pat Swilling, Sam Mills, Vaughn Johnson & saving the BEST for last Ricky Jackson! Best Foursome of LBs the NFL has ever seen!! IMO at least!

It still pisses me off that the sAints allowed Mills to go to the Panthers & was the best LB they had for years after the sAints thought he was on the decline. He was a 1st team All-Pro LB in ‘96, I think. May have been ‘95 or ‘97??

This team is nothing like the paper bag days, and 87 started a whirlwind of really fun teams.

Difference is; this year's team will win some games. Maybe make playoffs.
The teams "honored" with bags never sniffed a win. Or had a snowball's chance in hell of winning.
That's what made it terrible & hilarious at the same time. Lol
Much alcohol consumed watching the Aints!
But late 80s Saints were for real.

If what I fear will happen in GB next week, really Happens then I think I’d prefer this team to just TANK the season & secure a top 3~5ish pick in next years draft! Hell they might be fortunate enough to land their Franchise QB for the next 10-15 years!

Because unfortunately I’m almost certain that the other 2 QBs on this roster are not Franchise QBs even though I’ll admit they’re both very talented. However they are also obviously very flawed as well! JWs a INT maniac & TH is BOOM or BUST ~ 50+ yard TD Bomb or vastly Under thrown. A 40+ yard TD run up the gut or around the edge OR a -10 yard scramble/botched trick play gimmick that obviously doesn’t work!

That was in 1980 and this team isn't even close to that...
