What are you guys doing? You claim that the team has no heart and is weak minded, you should look in the mirror.
95% in here are already giving up on the season, including some prominent people who have been positive until now. All we have to do is get on a roll and we are in position to win a playoff game or two. Things have to click up another notch on execution, but we are in position each game to win.
Almost all a team or two will get hot at the end, go into the playoffs streaking, and make a name for themself.
Prior years don't matter.
We can beat the Saints this week. They are not playing that well right now and are due.
I have this to say - get yourself back together. Don't give up -- there is plenty of football left to play.
I hear what you are saying and I echo it. I dont see any reason for us to give up, its just about making the playoffs, after that anything can happen.
However I will say this. I have always stood up for the crowds at the stadium and defended the fans here as a whole.
But after the last few weeks I wont be doing that anymore. THis is a very large city. It should be an incredible sports town with the quality of athletes that come from here and the level of play in high school of all sports.
Yet it is not. This is not a city that sticks by their teams, this is not a city where the fans can take a punch and then hunker down and throw one back. This is a spoiled city filled with lousy fans who sell their tickets at the drop of a hat for profit, completely quit cheering in the stadium when times get tough, leave when times get tough...sit in the stadium and scream fire this guy and that guy when times get tough.
The fans on this message board who dont attend the games are the same way, most of the people here would sell out everyone at a moments notice when times get tough.
The media here writes articles and takes angles that you would expect from the opponent team of the week. They show no respect to the coaching staff, the owner or to their own profession.
THis is what is the bummer to me. Last week I was bummed because the team lost and blew an opportunity to win the east. Now this week I am bummed because so many fans and this area show their true colors when times get tough.
That is why I have just had it with a certain group of people here, especially when I hear them yapping about the fans down here but then in turn they are equally as sorry with their actions.
I listen to all the sports radio stations and read everything I can etc......there seems to be all this passion for football here, yet when the games start at the stadium there is basically no passion.
This city to me is just as much a bummer for me as the team and I will never defend the local fans here again. As much as I hate that I will get lumped in with this group because I am speaking of the whole place, well this place sucks.
Superpunk said to me about 3 or 4 years ago or less, that the reason the fans in the northeast rustic belt are better is because they have nothing else going on, and I debated that saying it wasnt True. I was wrong and sp was right, I apologize to him for debating it. I am from the rustic belt and grew up infatuated with the nfl, I guess looking back on it because that is all Myself and my friends were into over the long winter. It is part of my life that will never change.
Down here, people just complain and whine and jump ship at the first sign of trouble and move on to something else. Maybe I am just naive and need to do this.
anyway, to anyone who I ever debated about this area and the fans and the stadium I apologize, you were right and I was wrong. This town stinks as a fanbase.
