For Years Ive Tried to Care About the Saints As a Rival, but I cant.

Theyre boring as poo, I barely tolerate em when they play against the Panthers.

 

Soon as I see them on my tv its camby.png

Im willing to say no one in the division gives a poo about these bland bums. If they didnt win a bowl we wouldnt even think twice about them.

 

Does anyone else feel the same way?

Honestly, of the three division opponents they are the ones I care the least about.  I lived in Tampa during the late 90s and early 2000s so I saw how when they suddenly became good people that were Packer and Vikings fans the year before were suddenly life long Bucs fans and the empty stadium now had a ten year season ticket wait.  Their fans at the time were almost as bad as Miami Hurricane fans and there were so many players that were easy to despise and shoved down my throat locally.  I was also younger at the time and as I have grown older it is much more difficult to develop those negative feelings towards a sports team.  The Saints were meaningless back then so the development of that "hatred" has not been a extreme.

 

I dislike Atlanta more than the Saints probably because I could not stand Vick when I was younger and that has carried over.  That and well, they are from Atlanta.

 

I will say that there is no current player that annoys me on the level of Graham.

My hatred ebbs and flows with the quality of the teams in our division.  The Saints have stayed near the top for a while along with the Falcons, the Bucs have regressed.  Now back in the early days of the South I could not have hated the Bucs more if they murdered my family.

'boring as poo'?

They are the most exciting team in our division. If Sean was our offensive guru, we wouls be unstoppable. I care (in a negative way) about all our division opponents but dont like the Falcons and Saints.

    • okay I found this and it sounds like my hopes for the first surgery being not such a great job seems like it could be actual reality.  I only hoped because that would give a better chance for recovery and ia a possible scenario so I just thought it could be possible. Had no real evidence of it. But I’ll be damned.    This is a detailed report of Brooks’ surgery and the condition of his knee after the failed repair.     https://x.com/jmthrivept/status/2055743129408704806?s= Sparked by some very good questions by @CoachspeakIndex, here’s some info on Jonathon Brooks: 1. Speculation that the first graft/ACLR by Dr. Cooper didn’t “take” or at least was too lax, leading to failure and re-tear. Brooks dealt with issues cutting, progressing in his rehab into the early stages of 2024 and then re-tore it late 2024, requiring a second ACLR in January 2025 (essentially revision). Notably, CAR prolonged Brooks’ rehab process through Sept-Oct due to issues progressing into the next stages of rehab. 2. Second surgery performed by Dr. Neal ElAttrache, who has extensive experience with revisions. He did a double bundle technique, harvesting graft from Brooks’ left patellar tendon and a strip of his right IT Band (his right patellar tendon had been utilized for the prior graft in 2023. The double bundle technique significantly increases rotational stability of the knee, leading to a stronger and more secure graft/reconstruction. Also to note, Brooks’ surgery wasn’t significantly delayed, meaning that the tunnels from his prior ACLR were in good shape and they didn’t need to perform bone grafts to fill in (would have delayed 2nd surgery by 5-6 months). Essentially, reading the tea leaves tells me that everything else except for the graft itself was still in good quality within his knee. Good sign for future.  3. Typically, you see a performance increase anywhere from 16-20 months post-revision. Brooks will be ~21 months out from his second surgery by the time Week 1 hits. His knee should be more stable and stronger this time around, with adequate time for healing and return to all movement patterns. I’m not viewing this situation as a typical “Player __ had TWO ACL tears, he’s cooked” situation. Rather, I’m viewing it as the first procedure failed, but the second procedure is significantly stronger and should allow him to return to form this time around. I don’t know why it posted as a link but there it is.  
    • Jackie, any more reps tomorrow, or is that it for this session?  thanks for the work
    • How can you say they aren’t trying to win now with all the moves made in free agency? Or is trading first round picks the only way to be win now? I’d be fine never trading another first round pick again, win now be damned.
