I've been a Saints fan for 45 years.......

I've experienced some highs and I've experienced a lot of lows with this team. I'm always cheering.

It has been a while since I've had no hope for this team and Dennis Allen is the main guy that's bringing that back. ☹️

Do any of the older Saints fans feel the same way?

Been a Saints fan since I was old enough to watch football. I was born in 1974. This team is nowhere near as bad as the Ditka era with the Billy Joe's at quarterback. It was hard to watch those teams they were so awful. This team at least is somewhat entertaining to watch. And I have some degree of expectations to win just about every game that I never had with Ditka.

But it is feeling more like the gem Haslet era. Where you're doing good but never better than 500. I'm just kind of stuck in an apathetic place right now.

I know I said I have been watching since I was old enough to watch football but I must say I don't remember the Bum or Hank Strram years. My first memories are of the Mora years and like this team they were entertaining. But unlike this team, they fought every game and you knew you were getting 100% from them every game. This team is not that. I guess that's what you get with a marine as a head coach and players like Sam Mills and Ricky Jackson wouldn't let the players quit.

I think my apathy will be here until Dennis Allen is gone because as long as he is the head coach I have no hope for this team being more than a 500 team.
