Can you imagine the meltdown at this place if the saints lose Sunday? (1 Viewer)

Seriously I will not be surprised if the Saints lose on Sunday!

Not sure if it would be a meltdown; I think it would be more of an “At peace with the suckage” moment, and we’ll all change gears and start looking at the draft, potential coaching hires, etc. and merely watching games to see who we think we should keep for next year.

I don’t think Carolina has a chance though, maybe if Dalton was playing.

I was raging last week at this blshirt I am past that now to utter disdain I think, just really probably the least excited I’ve been for a saints game since I became a football fan

If we had any starting CBs and more than one NFL RB on the roster that was healthy, I'd be pretty confident of a win. But with no RBs and no CBs, I'm not so sure. But the Panthers are really bad.

Prepare for the worst.

I checked out a couple of weeks ago. Made plans for last Sunday and just kinda checked in / watched a little here and there on my phone. I've already made plans for this Sunday and won't watch.

Not worth the energy to watch a really bad product. I've watched many bad Saints Teams prior, this just feels different.

Call me when they blow it up...

Seems like the majority of the post here shows that there's not much of anything left to cause a meltdown. Full on apathy for the Saints has set in with me. Last week's game didn't even make it to my "big" screen, I had the F1 race on and I watched the race from the formation lap to the checkered.

This week's game is starts 1hr ahead of F1 and I might catch the 1st qtr if I don't get caught up in Martin Brundle's Grid Walk!

I’m idk. I remember reading these boards after the NFC no call.

That was a melt down truely epic. You could just tell people lost faith in something they loved having integrity. I know I felt it. I wasn’t a member at the time, but I recall people feeling the same way I did. A sport and league they believed in, was to some degree, fake.

I don't post much, mostly lurk, but that no-call definitely changed my overall engagement to the NFL in general. Definitely took some of the enthusiasm and fire out of it for me. Haven't been the same since.

This.

We Saints fans have gone through the stages of grief: denial (no way the Saints are this bad), anger (fire everyone now!), bargaining (if the Saints just get the o-line back, they were just a field goal away), depression (well, as long as DA and ML are here, they will always lose) and finally, acceptance or in this case apathy.

If/When the Saints lose Sunday, there will be a mild meltdown but I think that will be the checkout time. They lose, people will stop supporting and going to games. That is when they will hit rock bottom.

Which makes it all the more infuriating that everyone from ownership to management don’t seem to care just as long they stay wealthy

I'm not expecting too much either way at this point. I'll watch the game, but it will be sort of a detached, how's my ffl team doing sort of watch.

The problem is that the Saints front office has more apathy than Saints fans. At this point they don’t care. There is no accountability. How much of my emotions should I invest into this failing franchise when they don’t care?

It was like watching a preseason game last week

How do you know that? You work in the front office or something?

In slow motion! Seems like the last few games the players were moving slow.

Nah. We already are emotionally beaten. What's one more punch?

This is what's been happening to us Saints fans emotionally since week 3. See how we try to hold onto hope at the 6 second mark?
