sorry i don't buy it.
yes your formula is right...listen to yourself...all that does really make a difference.Originally Posted by KDM guy
last year 3-13 with NO FUCKING HOME FIELD...do you even get that...do you know now important fans are to teams???
we still had arron brooks as QB for goodness sakes last year...yea he's a grrrrreeeeaaaattttt QB. haslett (saints old coach) fell off gradually and never held on to the turn around he had going in 2000. he managed to get the saints to win best in their division back in 2000 and they won their first playoff game ever in franchise history and thats all he did. oh and guess their record back then in the regular season....10-6 oh what a coincidence...this year they were 10-6 with a different staff but this time they're superbowl contenders. dont tell me whats rigged and whats not just cuz they are winning. this isnt really new...
the only thing new is they got a first round bye and won another playoff game and are now going to be playing for the NFC championship.
so you're telling me a mediocre team will never emerge to be champion or come close. well, i'm sorry, i just don't buy what you're saying.

IM NOT A DIE HARD BEARS "FAN", IM JUST ROOTING FOR THEM IN THE PLAYOFFS BECAUSE THEY ARE THE ONLY TEAM IN THERE I GIVE 2 SHITS ABOUT, I GOT SOME FAM IN CHICAGO, SO YEA. AND CAN YOU HONESTLY TELL ME THAT IF KATRINA DIDNT HIT, THINGS WOULD BE LIKE THIS??Originally Posted by nolaRyder

well i didnt say you were a die hard bears fan just acknowledging it.Originally Posted by TeeJay
and i'll say katrina had alot to do with this season but not in the way you're thinking. what i get from plenty of interviews with brees and the rest of the team that i've heard is that they are playing for the people. they know the people are looking for them to bring joy back to the city and that is what they are playing for. its a deeper motivation than what any other team has to play for.
and i honestly cant say if you take away katrina what the season would be like because a lot of key factors change, like their record and players...which all affects this season.

i'm saying that in the real world, it takes time to build. it doesn't happen overnight (or in this case, in one off-season).

ACTUALLY MAN, IN HIS DEFENSE, IT CAN AND HAS HAPPENED. I CAN THINK OF SEVERAL OCCASIONS. THE PANTHERS WENT FROM 7-9 TO 11-5 AND IN THE SUPER BOWL, THE JAGUARS WENT FROM 3-13 OR 4-12 TO THE AFC CHAMP GAME, AND THE FALCONS WENT FROM 5-11 TO THE NFC CHAMP GAME JUST RECENTLYOriginally Posted by KDM guy

BECAUSE LIKE NOLA RIDER SAID, THEY ARE PLAYING FOR MORE THAN JUST THE GAME RIGHT NOW, THEY ARE PLAYING FOR THE PEOPLE. AND IF KATRINA HADNT HIT, THAT MOTIVATION WOULDNT BE THERE. I DONT THINK ALL THOSE FREE AGENTS WOULD BE THERE EITHER, BECAUSE BEFORE KATRINA, NOBODY WANTED TO PLAY IN NEW ORLEANS, BUT NOW THEY WANT TO SO THEY CAN BE A PART OF SOMETHING SPECIAL. I MEAN YEA, THEY WOULDA STILL GOT REGGIE BUSH IN THE DRAFT, BUT I DONT THINK THEY WOULDA GOT BREES, AND ALL THE OTHER FREE AGENTS. MY 2 CENTS

i hear what you saying and i'm glad you undeerstand what i'm saying, but you're talking about changing the past. simply taking away katrina affects the whole 05-06 season. so they would have had the dome, they would have done better than 3-13 (just saying) which means their position changes for the draft. which also means they probably wouldnt have gotten bush for one. and like you said certain players wouldnt be there. we're talking about a "butterfly effect" so to speak. so yes this season would definitly be different if all that happened. we cant say for the worst or better because we dont know.Originally Posted by TeeJay
but katrina did happen...and now here we are.

Indy can't handle the Pats right now. The Pats are always a strong play off team that is hard to contain.
I've despised the Saints my entire life but I hope they win more than anything this year.Originally Posted by nolaRyder
i think the patriots are gonna go, but fuck the patriots. the patriots are the new york yankees of football. and everybody knows what type of people like the yankees....

Is it rigged? Who knows. I wouldnt' be surprised if it were. Business is business.
or it could just be the fact that the saints have some really good players on their team ... regardless, the pats are gonna win.Originally Posted by Tarzanman

What do you expect them to play on in the winter? A nice, warm perfectly tended fake field? It's football in winter. It's supposed to be cold, snowy, messy and shit like that. This dome shit took a lot more out of football than the sorry players playing the game. Later, QD.Originally Posted by nolaRyder
