Because I remember Decembers in the 70s

That's real right there Bill. A great positive outlook without being delusional. Good to see an attitude can be adjusted from a negative point of view to a positive one. Anybody that has been a Saints fan for more than 20 years can relate. Those that have only witnessed the past 20 years or less haven't felt the pain of perpetual mediocrity from our team.

It's been frustrating the past few years accepting the fact that the Saints aren't at their pinnacle. Imagine the frustration that Patriots fans have had the last few years as well. For them it's been a bigger disparity to accept.

It's hard to settle for 2nd fiddlers when you're accustomed to virtuosos playing stradivarius. Right now it would be just wonderful if everyone could get in tune with one another.

Don't give up on our team. Hope in December is much better than none by Thanksgiving. That 1 Star movie has been shown here way to often.

Now that you've gotten your head straight, try putting a few thoughts together for an uplifting KWTPF thread this week. Those have been tradition here for years and they've been sorely missed the past few weeks.

Let’s try to ride this season through to the end with hope of a much better ending than what up until now has seemed likely. There's plenty of time for next year discussions once the fat lady has sung. She may be clearing her throat right now but she's still standing behind the curtain. Let's root for a better act 2 before she shows her face.

In keeping with the sentiment of this thread, can you imagine the enthusiasm from the fan base in the 60s or 70s if in December the Saints were tied for 1st place in the division and controlled their own fate? It would have warmed Mr. Bingles heart!
