Any time I see someone post this sentiment about the team they root for even possibly being bad, I immediately wonder to myself:
“Which games did this fan wish the Saints lost?”
Because on six occasions, the team did what it took to win, and usually what we as fans wish for is for the team to have won more. I don’t believe anyone would be happy sitting at, say, 4-9 right now — but at this point I’m less convinced many of you would be happy at 9-4, either
I’ve never rooted for the Saints to lose or want them to lose or wanted them to tank. If this was a team with low expectations the fan base would be ecstatic right now. But we expected more and rightfully so. This team should not be under .500
