Fun Fact

The Saints haven't been over .500 since 2013. 

 

Revel in their misery here....

Not since the end of 2013..

... have the Saints been over .500. Tonight was an opportunity to not only start out on a high note, but to get that monkey off the saints' back, yet it continues indefinitely. The prospect of potentially being in an 0-2 hole courtesy of a short week and a Pats team coming off a bad beat, and then trying desperately just to get even for the remainder of the season - again - fills me with dread.

Chasing .500 for nearly half a decade is not the kind of infamy you would expect from a team lead by Drew Brees. In that regard, it's perversely remarkable.

I do love their misery but they still scare me a little bit when we play them, especially in the dome. For the life of me though, I don't understand why they signed AP if they're barely going to let him get on the field. That guy needs to get in a rhythm in order to produce. Any dumb ass fan can see that.

I don't get why they never stop trying to replace Ingram.  He's a good all around back, but they're always looking for some sort of upgrade or new wrinkle for the running game.

Ah the year of our lord 2013, life was much simpler back then.

 

"Wagon Wheel" took America by storm, the "Red Wedding" shocked the world, Johnny Manziel owned college football, the PS4 and Xbox One debuted, Madden was about the same as it is now, Edward Snowden moved to Russia, Miley Cyrus introduced twerking to white people, and there was an adult in the white house.

 

Good memories.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
