re: This will be unpopular, but the initial melts were justified

The big problem here is no one wants to discuss this team and their performance honestly.
We won yesterday, and that makes me happy. I just want to know why this team mailed it in for 2.5 quarters.
I started a thread accusing the Saints of settling for the 2 spot. I thought they were just running a poopoo offense to keep the playbook close to the vest before the playoffs. Not sure if that's a melt but post-Dallas, that's honestly what the first half yesterday looked like.
With three games to go and the 1 spot in reach, now I don't know what they'll do. Either way though, I'm in.

Football is an emotional game, and the fans (short for fanatic) show emotion because they want their team to win
It's not.
You're arguably the most emotional and unstable poster on this board so it just seems that way

You could tell by the way Jameis and the center exchanged words. They were not a team.
That's when I knew we were going to win. Honestly, it was a pretty marginal call against the center so imo, Winston had no place getting in his grill like that.

And you're predictable. Unstable because of posting during a football game. Good lord.
There's too much to say about you, so I'm going to go back to ignoring you after this post.

I think it's more about the fact that people are just ridiculously overreacting (as an 11-2 team no less) when we go down by a score or two. Saying the team sucks, Brees sucks and needs to retire, Kamara sucks, the defense sucks, this team is done, etc. Football is 4 quarters, and a miserable half doesn't necessarily mean the game is lost. We saw it firsthand yesterday.

Careful. Posters here are taking away fan cards for talk like that.

I think a lot of people also see this as being the closest chance we will get to getting another ring with Brees, and when we stumble, some take it hard.

When you are at the top you have a bullseye on your back and get other teams best game. Tampa gave it all they had on D the first half.
Saints D played very well outside that first drive. A lot of those sacks were coverage sacks.
Glad they did not bring the ginger in.

Ehh, I can't really blame him with Jensen. He leads the team in penalty yardage by a big margin, and he's had 4 personal fouls/unnecessary roughness penalties this year. That stuff costs your team. He also had a holding called on him earlier on that drive. All that after the Bucs made him the highest paid center in the league.

You’re a very reactionary poster, but it’s nothing new.
You were ready to hop off the bandwagon because the offense hadn’t played well in 2 and a half games all without our pro bowl LT.
Teams need to find multiple ways to win in a long season, and the past few weeks it’s been our defense picking up the slack.
Trust that Payton and the offense will figure it out come playoff time and just enjoy the ride.
Like Aaron Rodgers said: R-E-L-A-X

I think opposing defenses are getting away with holding on Thomas. Defenses are seeing our opponents getting away with it, shite I would do it too.

Posting during a football game isn't unstable. Melting like a little bitch during one half of football on a terrible field against a division rival who has played pretty good the last three weeks is. I'm glad you made this thread so we could point out all the other idiots.

It’s the every time we give up a 1st down “we are giving up” “fire everybody” “we suck” crowd that gets laughed at on here.

Another poster with absolutely no substance and personal attacks based off a half of football message board postings. Good to know you probably don’t do anything important in life.

What I saw was a o-line that looked like it had run a marathon before the game even started.
Our guys were getting blown up on the line of scrimmage most of the game.
A week off in the playoffs is going to pay great dividends I think.
As to game day melts there are two types:
"Damn this sucks...c'mon you bums hold the ball...rottin play call coach...he was wide f@cking open jeez."
Not a problem.
And the "F@ck this sh!t trade him...we always suck sell the team...crap why is this guy on the team trade him NOW or just shoot him he sucks yall suck everyone sucks...I told yall week one fire the coaches and trade Brees NOW he sucks the planet sucks Saints are not trying to win but cause me pain cause it all SUCKS!!!."
Screw these types.

Says the guy melting like a 6 year old girl. You probably shouldn’t talk about other people’s lives when you were ready to jump off a building after a half of football.
Weren’t you screaming to fire Payton at the beginning of last season?

Totally agree. The trolling on game day is crazy.
Of course any criticism of the team, even justified, is considered trolling by some. It's obvious which posters have little going for them and live through the team. Attacking the team is an attack on them. It's sad.

I was working during the game, so I couldn't watch (and experience the melt). I kept tabs on it, and saw we were down early, and later won.
It's later in the season. The last two games were road games, one against a team fighting for a playoff spot, the other against a division rival. Those are going to be hard-fought games. Brees isn't going to throw for 300+ every game, even if he averages it.
Yes, there are chinks in the armor, and there's a definite chance that the Saints might have peaked too early. But we've clinched the division with 3 games left, have the best record in the league and the top seed right now. You can't 'melt' about 1st half deficits at this point.
Need:
Armstead etc to get back.
Smith or someone else to become that 2nd WR.
Apple to settle in and play competently as the 2nd corner.
We get this, we should win every playoff game. Note that I don't say every game, since regular season games are different.
