Boycott until Allen is removed (1 Viewer)

The Great Nacho Boycott of 2008

I am a season ticket holder. I own seven season tickets. I go to every game and I do not complain about anything. I will deal with the beer pour. I will deal with the new burgers. I will deal with the "no double shot" policy of this year. Hell, I will even deal with the anti-profanity...

Probably a good bet that the date of the original post is the year that the boycott occurred…

That is awesome! I’m so glad you survived and hope you’re all better. I get it.

I was supposed to check out in 2019 and even wrote a goodbye. God has seen fit to keep me around here for a bit longer and I’m grateful every moment of every day.

Who Dat.

It's the optics, Dave.

She isn't doing anything, zero, publicly to address fan concern. At least as of now. What happened Thursday would be enough for some owners to AT LEAST speak to the media.

And yet, crickets.

Do we know what kind promises she made, or was told to do, regarding the team to Mr Benson

I will not and shall not spend another dollar on this team until then. I brought Carolina tickets and willing to eat the cost.....

Have fun with that

This is the sad part of being a fan.

Tonight I stormed out the dome. Deleted the app from my phone. I want DA fired like now, but by Thursday next week the app will be back on the phone and I will have some kind of way convinced myself that we are gonna win out the rest of the way.

Sometimes I think they take our loyalty for granted or worse yet they just don’t care.

I know myself pretty well turns out all of this stuff is true.

I have convinced myself that we are getting healthy while the other teams in our division or getting injured. We are passed the real hard part of our schedule and now lets see what happens.

Taking a step further I went ahead and booked a hotel and a flight and tickets in Inglewood, CA. I mind as well take my new found confidence on the road. Hopefully, I make it back alive because I am flying Spirt airlines so it will be an adventure.

Also for anyone else interested in a last second road trip to Los Angles it turns out Chargers tickets are dirt cheep as in good seats for 30 bucks.

This must be the bandwagon fan section. Only show up when times are good. WE know what this team can do WHEN HEALTHY!!! The team is going through a rough patch and you guys act like there isn't a logical reason why. INJURIES HAPPEN to a lot of teams. At least the Saints are getting their players back. WHEN YOU DECIDE TO LEAVE, DO US ALL A FAVOR AND STAY GONE. DON'T NEED YOU!!

Many SRers apparently don’t remember the 1979 game against the Raiders where the Saints blew a 35-7 halftime lead and lost to the Raiders 43-35 on MNF … or the Nov. 26 1989 home game against the Rams when the Saints led 17-3 halftime lead only to lose 20-17 in OT as the Rams’ Flipper Anderson set a still-NFL record with 336 receiving yards … and yes, I was in the Dome for both of those games … the current Saints team has faced more injuries than any team I have seen in my nearly 61 years. … Calling for a boycott isn’t the answer. If you don’t want to go, good for you. But calling for a boycott thinking that will get you what you want is nothing more than throwing a tantrum.

Good for you. I say we drive down the value of this team to the point where NO gets nothing when this team is sold after Mrs B. passes

Why would you want NO to get nothing? NOLA doesn't own the team.

We had this guy in our building. Our assistant head coach.

I stopped that at the 18 second mark and I would run through a brick wall for him.

Good try brother but the mindset of these posters won't be changed with logic. Most would still cry with a freshly powdered diaper and their favorited binkie.

When someone post nonsense like this they fall into the same boat as people who say they'll move out of the country if so in so gets elected. But they never do.

I was at both of those games. I was sitting in the endzone when Cliff Branch scored on a pass from Ken "The Snake" Stabler. The crowd was on cloud nine at halftime relishing in what appeared to be a prime-time Monday Night Football blowout beatdown on national tv by the Saints. Then the impossible happened. To be factually correct, the final score was 42-35.

The Rams game with Flipper Anderson going off was another mind-blowing event. He was only averaging like 3 receptions for 70 yards that season. In that game the Rams were without their #1 WR Henry Ellard. The Saints held Flipper to under 100 yards in the first half then had no answer for him in the 2nd half or in O.T.

Anybody whining about the state of the Saints today have no clue on the sorrows of the past. Every team will go through a rough patch. Real fans stay true.

The 1979 Saints team was probably the best unit the organization fielded to that point. Under Nolan in 1978 the Saints posted their best record ever going 7-9 then following that up in 1978 with an 8-8 record. Those two losses in 1979 were the difference in finishing 8-8 and having what could have been their 1st winning season and trip to the playoffs. Dick Nolan would have been immortalized as Head Coach for the Saints had that happened.

Instead, the Saints missed the playoffs for the 2nd year in a row under Nolan and then began the 1980 season 0-12 before getting fired.

A side note of interest on Nolan; He was thought of so highly by Dallas HC Tom Landry that Landry made Nolan the Cowboys Defensive Coordinator halfway through the 1962 season, making Nolan a player/coach. Imagine something like that happening in todays NFL.

"Look... uh... guys... We, uh... did some good things out there today, but uh...you know... did some not-so-great things out there too. And uh, offense, you know, we gotta find a way to, you know, score at least one touchdown, but uh.... Let's just keep doin' what we're doin', you know, keep choppin' wood, and uh... we'll uh, I think we should start to... you know... start to see things get better..."

Good news is that if we suck any more...then ticket prices will bottom out, then I'd be able to get a suite for tree fiddy
