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.

      It's your right to refer to it as vague, but it still flouts the theory of "zero evidence" that Tepper is changing. Here's another: "Carolina Panthers head coach Dave Canales and general manager Dan Morgan are reportedly being given a larger leadership role within the organization. Panthers owner David Tepper 'has taken a more hands-off approach of late,' according to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler. 'He's trying to trust Canales and GM Dan Morgan to get it right, knowing that the roster requires patience in its current state,' Fowler wrote. 'We shall see if he holds to that.'" https://bleacherreport.com/articles/10146782-report-panthers-david-tepper-has-taken-a-more-hands-off-approach-to-team   ""David Tepper just wants to win and he's gonna supply everything that we need to win.. Things are changing around here and things are looking really positive" ~ Dan Morgan  https://x.com/PatMcAfeeShow/status/1917639137550627107?t=6vgo8yXTO6eD0Gb55hyzNg&s=19   From about 2:15-6:35, Julian Council, Locked on Panthers, gives his take on whether Tepper seems to be changing (and specifically referenced the war room in his analysis):    Dean Jones of Cat Crave on David Tepper in the war room. "He was an innocent bystander throughout a hugely important decision, placing full trust in Morgan and Tilis to make the right call." Jones also quoted Pat McAfee: "What I noticed though, at one point, they looked at (David) Tepper to get an answer, Tepper didn’t say sh*t. All anybody has said about Tepper is that he’s hands-on, hands-on, hands-on. Too handsy, too involved. He’s not letting the football people do their thing. We just watched in the biggest moment for their franchise, a top ten pick, he just sat there and let everybody do their jobs. I think if you’re a Panthers fan, you love everything you saw there." https://catcrave.com/silence-from-david-tepper-becomes-panthers-loudest-victory Granted, you're not getting a major headline here, but that's not going to happen anyway. Fowler isn't exactly a nobody, everybody knows McAfee, and you also have some locals that follow the team (including Dean Jones). Of course you have a right to believe that Tepper hasn't really changed, but to say there is no evidence that he just may be changing is not really true. It's just not. Hate the guy, but the way that he has handled this current regime is different than he handled previous teams, and his silence in the war room and publicly in general is different than years back.

      My interpretation of his comments was somewhat different. And I took issue with his contract the day he signed. But it's all history now and doesn't matter in the big picture.
