how long are you allowed to brag about a superbowl victory?

except we have a lombardi at the end of the day. the panthers and falcons have nothing.

eta: i'll also take mediocrity with the chance of ''lightning in the bottle'' over long spells of losing.

While you do have a Lombardi now, it took you 42 years to get 1.

Considering you were in this league for 28 years longer than the panthers and until this season we have had more success I will take our chances of winning one within 42 years. I mean hell, we have 27 more years until we are at that level of mediocrity.

I'm not saying you are correct, im not saying you are wrong. The fact remains that the NFL is a very competitive league. If you think you can stay on top for 10 years then good for you but it is very unlikely that will happen. Do I expect you to be competitive for the next couple/few years? Yes I do.

Agreed 100%. I was just wondering what his basis was for suggesting the Saints are going to fall off. The future looks very bright at the moment, especially considering we have lost almost no one from last year.

well this is the question I normally ask people.

Would you take 10 losing seasons in a row (6-10 or worse) followed by a super bowl championship or would you take 10 winning seasons in a row (11-5 or better) with no championship to show for it??

A lot of people would probably say the one with the super bowl championship but I'm not too sure. 10 years of misery is a lot to endure.

Only 10 years? That sounds like a steal to me. By that formula, we would be getting 3 more. We would have loved only 10 years...

well, we are one of the youngest teams in the NFL, the only other teams that had a better start are the phins and the Cowboys :o

      Rams are willing to deal one of the 1st rounders for all-pro talent in secondary

      By strato · Posted

      They can get film of all the games? Every team? Wow! Who knew… Our games with them are big examples of why they are in  the CB market so hard.   It is the study they do getting ready for the games.  Preparing to play against is a little different than just analyzing film in scout mode. Deeper dive. Then you are analyzing post game too.  This goes to why players often change teams but stay in the division. The opponents know each other on a higher level.  Plus if you lost to us, you used to get fired. Now you have to trade your first round pick. Moving up on the world.

      I honestly can’t believe this team’s turnaround this season. It’s surreal. Figured healthy we’d be fringe playoffs and with another lottery pick could finally turn the corner, but we don’t even need that. This group is ready. We haven’t played remotely well the last 5 games and yet still blew out 5 bad teams by 16+ each game like it was casual practice. We had a few solid teams with Kemba and Big Al but this is easily our best group since the original Hornets moved to NO. Man, what a shift in culture this new ownership group and front office has brought. So damn happy to see it after years of suffering and consistently meaningless games in this stretch of previous seasons.   Only 2.5 games out of the 6 seed, although Miami, Atlanta and Orlando have been playing well too. Gonna be a fun final stretch, hopefully we can get a top 8 seed at the very least. Celtics tomorrow will be a good test. Would be huge to keep the road winning streak up against a very hot top team on the 2nd half of a back to back. We’ve played Boston pretty well the last few years with much of this same group despite sucking so I do feel pretty good about it. Kon is due for a huge game coming off a few cold shooting games (although despite the poor shooting he’s been contributing well with defense, assists and rebounds).

      It amazes me how underrated Horn has become after he finally was able to stay on the field. Sure last year wasn’t perfect but he was still a huge reason for our rebound defensively and I’d say he’s easily a top 10 corner. You don’t want to see Mike Jackson as our top corner. Any player is available for the right price but I’d be extremely hesitant to move Horn even for a big haul from LA.
