bulldog Posted December 29, 2002 Share Posted December 29, 2002 you guys were riding us pretty good when the Saints were 5-1 and I told you to wait until AFTER you won something to start getting your licks.............well it looks as if once again, as has been the case since 1966, the Saints will be looking to NEXT year to win something. that's ONE playoff win in 36 years right? just trying to make sure my arithmetic is correct WOOF! :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCdemolition Posted December 29, 2002 Share Posted December 29, 2002 You gotta question that team... seriously, you can't beat Cincinatti and Carolina?? Atlanta gift wrapped a playoff birth for them. I feel no pitty for the "aints". Brooks is not a clutch quarterback. Look at Pennington... there's a clutch QB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

88Comrade2000 Posted December 30, 2002 Share Posted December 30, 2002 Wonder if Haslett gets the ax? Though I think he signed an extension. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cskin Posted December 30, 2002 Share Posted December 30, 2002 I have to believe part of their demise is the result of Brooks being more injured than reported. His passes since the bicep injury have lacked zip and his accuracy has left him. Plus, if I'm not mistaken, isn't Deuce still a bit banged up from a high ankle sprain? Still, as a franchise, N.O. hasn't found a way to win consitently and make a serious superbowl threat. They've had the same monkey on their back as the Redskins have had against the Cowboys. Coaching ultimately will fix the problem, I'm just not sure Haslett has the mettle to do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bulldog Posted December 30, 2002 Author Share Posted December 30, 2002 the difference is that the Cowboys jinx lasted 5 years, the Saints have been in the crapper in terms of competing for something meaningful for much of the past 36 years since their inaugural season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kleese Posted December 30, 2002 Share Posted December 30, 2002 One thing I've learned about sports: A leopard really can't change his spots. You're either a winner, a loser, or always somewhere in between-- rarely can you go from one end to the other. Despite having it RIGHT IN THEIR HANDS, Jim Haslett's team choked/quit for the second straight year, Dave Wandsted's team wilted AGAIN, Marty Shottenheimer's team was close, but no cigar AGAIN, etc.... That's why I was and still am, all for hiring Spurrier. He's unknown-- a MAJOR winner in his past coaching stops in college-- I still think the chances are good that he'll be a winner here as well. It certainly seems as if he's learned a thing a two already......something the above coaches have failed to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CD167 Posted December 30, 2002 Share Posted December 30, 2002 Yea, Where is Big Easy at?...I guess getting up at 4:30A.M. every morning wore your coach down. I think thats 2 years in a row that the 'Aints crumbled down the stretch, so I think ole Red better pace himself next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
