How Exactly Will The Saints Disappoint Us This Year (1 Viewer)

You forgot:

Winning by 1 with less than 2 mins left in the game. Saints have the ball on their own goal line...2nd and 5...they inexplicably decide to pass...get sacked for a safety, and lose by 1 (Saints/Cowboys 1983.) Yes I am still traumatized and yes I refused to go to school the next day.

That's convered under insanely inane coaching decisions.

Defense giving up leads. Lol

That game set the tone for my hatred towards the Cowboys.

If they disappoint me with the low expectations I have this season then there are going to be a lot of broken TV's in La this year.

Lol this. I have no idea what to expect but I'm not expecting much at all. It's actually kind of refreshing to go into a season with low to no expectations. If they fall flat and finish around .500 then oh well. If they win the division or make the playoffs then awesome. I'm trying to think of how they could break my heart when I'm already expecting something like an average Haslett era season.

Given the heartbreaking history of our beloved franchise absolutely fraught with "We'll get 'em next year", probability busting events aka "I can't believe THAT just happened", as well as head shakers, head scratchers, and destroyed drywall and remote controls, I wonder... how will our boys disappoint us this season/post-season.

Everything from inexplicable injuries, insanely inane coaching decisions, poor execution, refereeing incompetence to downright official screw jobs. The Saints have shown a great talent for leaving no stone unturned when it comes to crushing the hearts of their fan base.

So what is your guess?

I don't even think we will get that far this year to have a meltdown, head scratcher playoff loss.

Mine too. A lot of people at my school were Cowboys fans and had been giving me a hard time all week leading up to that game (I honestly didn't think we had a shot.) Then a miracle almost happened. With less than 2 mins left, the lead, and the chance to put it away...I was already thinking about how much trash talk I was going to give back to everyone the next morning. And then the Saints did what they did best...they Saints'd it. Needless to say I was out 'sick' the next day for school. The headline the next day said: "Saints Find New Way To Lose."

Seeing that the odds are only 1 in 32 or barely 3% that any given team win the SB any given year, there’s a 97% chance that one of these scenarios occur, thats not really going out on a limb much.

I think it's going to be the offense becoming a turnover machine in the regular season.

Bro, I feel you and I'm not disagreeing with you. I'm normally NOT that guy. But view this as a coping mechanism of sorts.

For some the most disappointing thing they could do is play a great season and win the SB thus giving them nothing to whine and cry about.

The glaring weakness of not having a legit #2 WR will come back to bite us in the playoffs. Just as it has the last few years.

Stabler threw games in Dallas in consecutive years in identical fashion. Drops back to throw and just flings the ball backwards.

Miss the playoffs by one game

Winston starts. He's the real deal. The team goes on a tear and finish a perfect 17-0 in the regular season. Never been done before. They start the playoffs by whipping the LALA Rams. Then comes the NFC championship rematch against the Bucs. Game is tied in the fourth quarter and with a chance to make the winning field goal in come the refs. they spot a misalignment and blow the play dead. minus 5 years. Saints are no longer in field goal range. Punt. Brady makes a hail mary throw and Evans grabs the ball after making a glaring OPI against Lattimore. Walk off TD by the Bucs. Saints lose to the bucs again.
Winston decides he doesn't want to play for the snake-bit team. Hill also leaves because the team didn't choose him for the starting QB job in 2021. Brady retires and the Bucs land Winston in FA. Saints can only land Andy Dalton in free agency. Oh, and they pick at 30 in the draft.
