And yet saints fans are happy about it? That doesn’t seem like the reaction of an embarrassed fan base 

Are they?

I don't spend time on any other board other than this one.

More like embarrassing that they only scored 1 TD today courtesy of Michael Jordan - and it wasn't the goat NBA one...

Imagine thinking we embarrassed the Saints by winning a game they didnt want to win. 

We also moved down one spot in the draft and gave ourselves a harder schedule for next season! WTG!

Why would they not be, it was a meaningless game and it gave the winning team a harder schedule for next season.

Now we get the 2nd place schedule next season.

Winning the game at hand is always top priority. What the Texans did yesterday should put to rest any “franchise building trumps winning games” philosophy that many armchair GM’s embrace 

They went head to head with the 2nd worst team in the league, they are still picking #2 and the bears dont need a QB, unless someone trades in front of them.

So we're just assuming....

cool.

Lol assuming. Your just looking to argue for the sake of argument. Winning that game had no benefit for next season. Building morale by backing into a 10-7 win against a garbage team that wasnt thinking about winning.

I am fine either way when it's something I can't control.  That being said, the only part that stinks is it's Atlanta who got the spot right in front of us due to the Panthers winning.  I do not know much about this QB class and it appears it's not that deep, etc but we missed out on Hebert due to one draft spot and Atlanta might want a QB.  Oh well, we will see how it plays out.

Those are grown men competing out there.

They are not going to deliberately throw the game.

Let's be realistic here.

That only happens when you play Madden or something.

Woah bud, dont move the goalposts.

The conversation was saints fans were happy that they lost the game.

    • Like many of the old heads, I’ve been here for a long time.  I got a lot of respect for everyone on this board for your dedication to this team.  We’ve all been through it during the tougher years. At this point in life, I’m not one to judge anyone’s level of dedication, or their reasons why anymore.  Time, and a lot of bad football, will do that.  For me, it’s simple.  We share a common bond.  For that, I love and appreciate all of you crazy SOB’s. For me, last season was at a minimum, entertaining.  BY lead a young team to multiple come from behind 4th qtr wins.  That showed me heart, and that he has the clutch gene.  That’s the wildcard intangible.  For me, that was fun to watch even  if it was mindbogglingly frustrating at times.  Over the past two seasons, we have progressively built a better team around him.  On paper, the defense should be better this season.  That’ll help.  Let’s see what he can do as the other guys continue to develop too.  Besides, his contract is cheap for a few more years, and we just made some smart cap decisions during the draft. Let’s see how it shakes out. 
    • Hiring Shula & his Cam save us playbook.
    • I would very much liked to have seen Jake Delhomme's career if Tommy Jone no hurt Jake.  I just know that roster and the leadership were destined to hit paydirt but Jake was never the same after the elbow injury, and unfortunately he was the sole reason they didn't make it back to the big one.  I think that 08 team was the best in the league, and Jake masked his inability well all season til the Arizona game put it all on display.  I'll go back to the season prior even and say the 07 team was primed to be a competitor.  Jake was off to a fantastic start that year (for a Panthers QB).  They may have been a championship caliber club for a few seasons after 08 too.
