I don't know why you would criticize someone who has so clearly contributed to this team's success.

You call this successful?

I'd rather have Quincy handing to Richie Anderson, they made it just as far as these scrubs have. jay kay

Here's a fun fact for all you "believers".

Without the 3 garbage-time TD's Dallas scored against Green Bay, NY and San Diego, they'd have a whopping ELEVEN POINTS a game scoring average.

I "believe" THAT'S abysmal!

Keep the faith, I'll stick with reality.

The original post of this thread wasn't inferring anything remotely pertaining to that either.

Why do certain posters feel the need to deride people who choose not to be negative?

Admittedly, I'm not positive right now, but I won't begrudge those who are.

gives them a sense of superiority

as Adam stated, being negative gives you the best of both worlds

you are happy if we win and can say haha, see I was right if we lose

Heck, people can be negative all they want, but they should at least be negative about what the thread originally intended. If that were to happen with this thread, I would still ask why, but at least then it would make sense.

Sorta. :huh:

Just an FYI, I have really good reading comprehension skills, really good. I'm also pretty sure I have as much right to post my opinion here as anyone else.

When Romo is on he is awesome,just pray today is an awesome time then we will do good. What ever happens the Saints will know they have been in a game for their lives and not a preparation scrimmage for the super bowl.
Ole Red is going to break out some new plays and schemes to give us an unsurmountable lead before they have time to adjust their defense. IMHO.

This is just a weird post. You expect people to put their house on the line over a football team? Or you can't grok the difference between being supportive and acting hopeless? It's not belief if there's not some nasty consequence in being wrong?


Of course I don't. You missed the point completely.

I was responding to the notion that that if you dared hoped but maybe not believed you are a coward.

My point was that if you are putting nothing on the line except for your "emotional investment" then you are in no position to be calling anyone a coward.

Put something significant on the line (I used your house to make my point) and then you can call me a coward.

Understand?

Your butthurt from long ago.

I'm not "butthurt" (god could there be a more juvenile term then that?) at all.

You are you and your pattern of behavior is clear as bell. Just look up.

But no, It couldn't be you now could it?

And I appreciate it.

I love your posts.

yea know - i wondered how long it would take before the CRAP came out in force to make fun of people for wanting to have a good time with their favorite team.

just can't let anyone be happy, can you bb?


You expect the hopers to just sit quiet and take being called cowards?

Let's keep it real friend.

zrinkill;3154545 said:
Only because some were getting offended by a few peoples (including mine) sig pics.

Nothing was said except a reaction to what a member of C.R.A.P said.

Theebs was not involved at all .... and was only calling for fan support.
:lmao2::lmao:

You start in with the name calling and it went downhill form there.

But it's got nothing to do with you, right.

:lmao2:

Dodger12;3154562 said:
Then why resort to charcterizing fans and name calling which started early in the thread? Theebs got positive responses for the most part and a couple of "negative" comments where people let their feelings be known.

Any time you challenge someone's fanhood on a message board of their favorite team where they probably spend to much time on, it's probably going to illicit some strong responses. Don't be shocked and dismayed when you get it back.


:bow:

Dodger12;3154570 said:
No, they got offended by the nonsense babble and name calling that you yourself began. Your sig pic only echoed your words. And right on cue, you're immediately here to incite people (again) which was the initial goal of your post and, as a result, the thread was hijacked from the ops original and intended meaning.


:bow::bow::bow:

Dodger12;3154596 said:
See your psycho babble below. And as for my "ilk" (whatever that means), some of us have been rooting for this team longer than some posters here have been alive. People like you who routinely question someone's fanhood because they don't conform to what you feel is appropriate, and then call them cowards for whatever reason, is the lowest class of poster on this board.

Uhhmmmm.... I'm not the one throwing words like coward around.

Not much on the line for me.

I've got ten bucks on this game with a bandwagon Saints fan at work.

I am very HOPEFUL that I'll takes his money but I will be surprised.

What's your point?

edit
OK I see you followup post.

He hasn't called anyone a 'coward.' His point is that it seems rather empty to label someone a coward in the absence of taking a substantial risk.

That is what I figured was the case, was just checking..Wasn't calling him out by any means.
