Bush Time in NO said

As a longtime Saints fan, today seemed all too familiar. Historically, it has been around this point in the season that the wheels come off the Saints team and a downward spiral begins. Sorry to see it beginning again, but not surprised. Here is a little help for those of you who have not been here before. Perhaps it can help you get through the next gut-wrenching month and a half:

Stage 1-Denial
Example:
-this game today was just one bad game. They will get it together.
-we are still first in the division and will make the playoffs.
-our linebackers are good
-we have no massive holes in defending the run

Stage 2-Anger
Example:
-we are not getting respect from the media
-that was a dirty play by ________ on _________
-the refs are costing us the games

Stage 3-Bargaining
Example:
-we really were only a few plays away from winning
-if we could just get ___________ to play better everything will be ok
-if ___________ could come back from injury, we will start to win again

Stage 4-Depression
Example:
-I can't believe this is happening again

Stage 5-Acceptance
Example:
-we are Saints fans, and this is what we have to put up with
-we will remain fans when we lose
-it's really not that surprising to see this happen

What stage are you in?
