Your tears are delicious

As epically disappointing as this season has been, yesterday's historic curb-stomping is about as sweet as it gets. 

 

Let's not downplay how great yesterday's win is in a single game context. 

 

Take it from the Saints beat writer:

 

 

 

The New Orleans Saints have lost their share of games over the years, but they've rarely lost their gumption or their self-respect or their unity.

 

They lost all three in a 41-10 loss to the Carolina Panthers on Sunday in a performance that was as embarrassing as it was shocking.

 

Considering the stakes and the opponent, it was unquestionably the worst performance of the Sean Payton-Drew Brees era. In my 15 years of covering the team, the only comparable stinker was the 2001 regular-season finale against San Francisco, an infamous 38-0 whitewash that prompted Terrell Owens to say the Saints played like a team that had its bags packed.

 

But those Saints were playing out the string. Their effort -- or lack thereof -- was at least understandable.

 

No, this performance was so ugly and pathetic it reminded longtime Saints fans of the grim Mike Ditka era, replete with the cascade of boos and beer cans from the stadium rafters.

 

Remember Mike Tyson pathetically fumbling around on the canvas looking for his mouthpiece after Buster Douglas decked him? That's what the Saints looked like Sunday. A once-proud champion, bloodied and bewildered, desperately looking for the corner or a white towel.http://www.nola.com/saints/index.ssf/2014/12/saints_loss_to_panthers_inexpl.html#incart_story_package-d7a6b35419aedc9a.jpg

Brown paper bags buried in landfills---long forgotten---have finally gotten their vindication.  

 

Full gone trees that will soon be chopped down and hurried along to the paper mills are near the end of their reincarnation.

 

But somewhere, some sapling is dreaming of the day when it will help grace the faces of the Superdome.

 

Cry those tears, Saints fan.

 

Water the ground to start this circle of your life.

The Saint's regressions even worse than ours, everyone expected us to take a step back (obviously not quite as bad as we have been but still) but the media was busy pencilling the Saints in as possible superbowl contenders this season and the beatdown yesterday really puts the tin hat on it

the front page article at nfl.com is one titled "no more super saints" lol

Something about losing to a team that the media views as the CaroLOLina Panthers, and the way they did, has completely destroyed their reputation. I don't care if we win anymore games but glad that we embarrassed this trashy organization.

      Adam Theilen said he came back to play with Bryce, and he expects the Panthers to surprise some people

      Me and you clearly have different definitions of production. If you remove the 2023 season where Thielen had just over 1k yards he is 43rd on our all time receivers list just ahead of Jonathan Mingo. And before you ask why would we remove that season? Well a couple reasons. For one thing we won a whopping 2 games. And for the biggest. Thielen was 14th in targets in 2023. We absolutely force fed him the ball all season and finished with the 32nd passing offense. For comparison sake 33 year old Jerricho Cotchery eclipsed over 1k total yards in just 2 more games and with 67 less targets than Thielen did in that 2023 season. He has above average hands. That's it. We overpaid him because we were desperate and overvalued him. That's the reality no matter how many times you or anyone else wants to quote me and get defensive about it.

      He's played great and it was a win-win (rare free agent) for both parties.  One of the points is he hasn't made enough difference to "waste" 35 million on. Another point is by the time Panthers are hitting their prime, he would have taken snaps away from young WRs/TEs/RBs. "Thus" in the long term, hurting the teams new future "window."  But I dare think of the monkey poo of a offense the Panthers had without him the past 2 years. Lack of talent leads to many problems, including paying a 35 year old to be somewhat respectable. Hes one of few that cared enough and made a effort. Plus you know he's done great stuff in many other ways for the team, community juggernaut, leadership, etc.  Judgement is for AT and his 3 year panther career!!

      Scourton isn't signed (& apparently it's a thing)

      But it has gotten a little wacky. RBs-https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/contracts/_/position/rb     A couple months ago iggles made Bark the highest guaranteed RB, jeanty was until then. That's what matters the guarantee. A rookie never played a down was the leader, until iggles howie made things right.  If a safety gets drafted in the top 8 or so, he would have the highest money too or very close to it.    Add in TEs and C too.    Even with the fixed %, the numbers are getting too much for a player that's not proven themselves.     Plus anytime a QB is drafted it screws up the contracts for players around and if next year a punter gets drafted at the same 90th spot, they want the same contract with the 5.7% increase. Teams would be laughing.    Its just reached this point. Another 10 years and I bet the vets will be crying.
