The team moving out would not only be depressing for the people but would act as a signpost out of the area for a lot of people... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huck Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 Yes you could well be right but I'm sure there's plenty of people there who don't like football and couldn't give a toss if the team leaves or not but need housing etc. Still, I like the Saints and hope they prosper in New Orleans.

Saint NIck Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 Hello Everybody! I was at the Superdome this afternoon, and I didn't leave until we literally ran out of time. True, Drew Brees threw for a massive 500 + yards; the flea-flicker in the first quarter was absolutely beautiful. However, those three picks were very costly...costing us tremendous momentum & points. I'm no coach or quarterback, but I would've run the ball on the first plays; those plays inside the Cincy 10 yard line. The pick at mid-field late in the fourth...those things just happen sometimes. HOWEVER... Right now the Saints are 6 & 4, and are second place in the division; Carolina is also 6 & 4, but they beat us a few weeks ago. Who Dat would've thought the Saints would have 6 wins out of 10 games thus far. I know Atlanta is struggling, but they've been waiting for this rematch since late that Monday night of September 25th. There are a bunch of games left, all within the conference, and against teams that are all...maybe except for Washington, who are all in the playoff race. Maybe I shouldn't use that p-word yet; there is so much football left to be played...anything can happen. The Saints were 9 & 4 in 2002, with Minnesota & Carolina at the Superdome, with a trip to Cincy in the middle = and we lost all three = no playoffs. Yet, I feel more anxious to redeem ourselves after a loss; and with that, hopefully we'll learn from our mistakes...and there were plenty. Injuries are part of the game, but we have been self-destructing ourselves with turnovers galore. To those who are Begal fans, good game & good luck; the next 6 weekends are gonna be very interesting for many parties involved. To my fellow Saints' fans, our beloved have to assume control...control the ball, control our own destiny and hopefully we'll be playing in January. My friends, thank you for your time. Take care.
