Yeah, and the Saints were way more enjoyable even from 2000-2004 than they have been since 2021.
Apart from the Katrina year and BountyGate 3 years, was a solid-to-elite team for right at 20 years. (Edited to remove the arse-suck that has been the Saints since COVID.)
I think we are now back to, if not worse than, the late-90s shitfest … for a decade or perhaps forever.

Oh good grief. Get a hold of yourself

That’s been obvious since Sean left.

Re: Which part?
Last 7 years of the 90s: missed playoffs every season
Last 4 seasons: missed playoffs.
You think we are making a run in the next three? If so, what’s the reason for optimism?

They're irrelevant now

I can see that but the back half of year three is going to surprise a lot of people including the OP!

1999 3-13. Fired Ditka. Huge roster changes. Brought in Haslett. Picked last in division and won division and first playoff game in 2000.
There’s your ray of hope
A quick turnaround is possible. Likely? Different question.

Denver this year
Teams like Rams, Lions in previous years
Beat cap hell fairly quickly. Find a coach and the right QB. First step would just be eating Carr’s money and dumping him to accelerate the rebuild
As our front office is presently constituted, we will do nothing nearly as positive for the team.
We have self-serving caretakers, not competent competitors for senior management with the team.

2006: Saints coming off 3-13 season. Fire entire coaching staff. City in ruins. Hire an unknown offensive coordinator out of the Parcells' coaching tree and sign a QB jettisoned by his old team and passed over by another as medically unsound to play football. Result? Saints go 10-6 and reach the conference finals.

There's not much more room for decline. 
I don't see them recovering from 5 wins anytime soon unless there's a hard reset from ownership of the front office and as of 9am Gayle isn't going to do that.

LSU been relevant that last 2-5 years
Posted on 1/6/25 at 9:15 am to bleedpurpleandgold23
We've been irrelevant for a long time, it's nothing new.

Too many people on here conflate NBA style rebuilds with the NFL.
Posted on 1/6/25 at 9:43 am to bleedpurpleandgold23
Negative, with healthy roster, draft some good players, and a coach that can motivate his players, this team will be more like weeks 1&2…
Posted on 1/6/25 at 10:53 am to bleedpurpleandgold23
Rebuild should of started 4 years ago

No one in the NFL rebuilds for 5-6 years. They either whiff at qb/coach or they don’t.
The salary cap issues the Saints have is pretty unprecedented.
The Saints are facing a tear down for the next couple of years minimum.
I don’t think the rebuild really starts until then.

Detroit was irrelevant for many years also ,it may be longer than 6 years
Posted on 1/7/25 at 1:55 am to bleedpurpleandgold23
2-5 years? Bruh, you might wanna add a zero to both of those numbers.

That’s the hard part for so many. Nothing screams irrelevance like a HOF coach saying your city and team aren’t good enough and heading to greener pastures.
It makes even the most die hard fans question why bother when the “nicest” of things we get eventually spurn us.
Competent ownership can mask some of NOLAs flaws, but Ben Johnson telling Mickey to frick off when he called shows you the deplorable state of things here.
