Saints are 1st place in the NFC South thru 9 weeks after Saints Won + Falcons/Bucs losses

It is. And the thing that gets me is if we were to start losing(God forbid) they’d be complaining how we wasted the careers of AK, Cam, MT, DD by not going all out to win. Way too many fickle, overly emotional people in this fanbase right now. I will never poo poo a win at this level. I want us to collect W’s by any legal means.

Fans who thrive in cynicism and negativity really make my head spin. Every year a team makes it into the playoffs despite not being very dominant in the regular season. Nothing wrong for that team being us? Once you’re in the playoffs, it’s anyone’s championship to snatch. I’ll never not root for us to win, whether we win ugly or pretty. Just get into the dance.
If we win, then “we’re the worst 1st place team” and “not good enough to beat higher seeded playoff teams.” If we lose, then “DA is wasting careers of AK, MT, DD, and others.”

Thats our fanbase in a nutshell, at least many on the SSF. Damned if the team does, damned if they don’t.

We’ve seen SF, Philly and Dallas all lose games to below .500 teams that they were suppose to beat. They were in close games against other <.500 teams. Dallas has lost by 12-32 points twice already. Detroit was blown out by Baltimore a few weeks ago. Every team has shown they’re beatable.

Saints can beat anyone if they execute their gameplan like they’ve done the last two weeks. They’re peaking at the perfect time.
