Did we over achieve last year and eat the cheese? (1 Viewer)

[SaintsJunkie]

Should we have drafted like a contender? Traded away picks like we were one player away? Cut our young players because we had no room on this roster to develop any raw talent?

 

[Outbackjack]

Yes.

We were one fluke play away from the NFCC....

We have a HOF running the show with limited years left.

1000% on draft like a contender planning on winning big now.

 

[Outbackjack]

By “eat the cheese” do you mean believe that we were/are good?

Because we were ACTUALLY good, it wasn’t a mirage.

Same players. We are one of a handful with a legitimate shot this year.

 

[onednasty]

Yeah totally.

Nevermind the fact we have a QB, RB, and WR that all could be in contention for best at their position.

Did we over achieve last year and eat the cheese?

Yes, and I hope to do the same this year.

I happen to love cheese. Why is everyone always giving cheese a bad name? Bunch of cheeseheads. Wait, that's a different team. Cheese-its. Crap, that doesn't work either. Eh. Everyone just back away from the brie because IT'S MINE!

 

[Maik Jeaunz]

you can eat the cheese, just don't drink the whine.

HEY-OH! I'll be here all week...

Resurrect this thread if we go 7-9. I am sure all the homers will be grilling you all week for this...

 

[hookedsaint]

Wtf else would we be cha baby, we're saints fans, consider US the 98% homers

 

[BuddyDeesGhost]

It's a legitimate question. I do think all our starters lollygagged around during preseason trying not to break a nail. Just give them time to establish their rhythm.

Of Course this team overachieved last year because they weren't given much thought going into last season. The big storyline was Adrian Peterson, not overtaking the NFC South.
The problem this team seems to be having is living up to high expectations. It happened after 2006 and unless the Saints get it together starting Sunday it could happen again on the way to another 7-9 type season.

 

[T-Town Saint]

The negativity has turned this site into a cesspool. 1-1 for the first time in half a decade and still whining. Sunday can’t come fast enough.

I think the Saints worked hard to achieve the results last year, they earn it. I still think that we should won the Super bowl last if it wasn’t for that freaking play.
Saints will be better with time and remember that we are missing one of our real weapons “Mark Ingram”.

 

[Bartyboy]

They had their best running game since forever.
Drew broke the single season completion percentage.
Defense had something like 40 or 45 sacks.
DBs covered well and made interceptions.
I'll eat that kind of. Cheese every day.

I think I missed all your posts during the offseason when you were "telling it like it is" giving us a brutal yet insightful assessment on the sham this team was last year. /sarcasm
