Saints' Bible Code? (1 Viewer)

[alexn62]

The New Orleans Saints, named after a religious icon, have been wondering the NFL wilderness, both figuratively and literally (post "Katrina" home games in N.Y., S.A. and B.R.) since their birth on “All Saints Day,” November 1, 1966. This season is the Saints’ 40th year in existence and next season will be their 40th season.

In the Bible, the number 40 represents periods of overcoming, probation or trial. The Israelites wandered for 40 years (Deut. 8:2-5). Moses was on the mount for 40 days (Exodus 24:18); 40 days of Jonah and Nineveh (Jonah 3:4). Jesus was tempted for 40 days (Matt. 4:2).

Could this year 40 be the year they lead us to a promised land? After wins this weekend and next, remember to look and point up.

Trivia: In the 1969/UA movie “Number One,” (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0064743/)
Charlton Heston played a New Orleans Saints quarterback who struggled with his advancing age and the consequence of losing his career. A scene in the movie depicts Heston (“Cat” Catlan) celebrating with the team in the locker room after having won the Super Bowl. Of course, Heston was/is best known for his other role, “Moses.”

So would that mean we would have to wait another 40 years if we win this year?

Are you Dan Brown?

I know of a more accurate Saints "bible code".

Last year the hurricane washed all the old "curses" away. We lost 13 games. We went 1-3 this preseason, and we are playing our first playoff game this year on January 13th. Not to mention the ever popular return to the Superdome on 9/25 (Brees/Bush).

No wonder...

Nope there is no more waiting anymore!!!!!!

Here's some less cryptic numbers: If we score 30 points and commit 0 turnovers, we will win Saturday.

Then again, that's like 3 TDs and 3 FGs, which lends to that old "comes in 3s" addage...

I like this one the best but you forgot to add in that the Eagles will only score 3 points.

...like the Fleur-de-lis has 3 pedals and as a religious symbol may represent the Holy Trinity... Numbers can be fun but, it appears that its all just coming togther and the timing couldn't be better.

I suggest you go back and take Western Civilization 101. Also, it is PETAL, not pedal.


Look, if you're excited be excited with us, but lay off the junk everybody here learned back in 5th grade.

Or we can just follow the Steelers' blueprint.. win the one after our 40th year.. then win a bunch more right after that.

Personally, the 40 year wait thing is a killer on your nerves..

No disrespect, but I know you don't mean any of this?

Sounds almost like the Pope's 1987 visit being responsible for our first winning season.

I don't try to bring religion into the Saints fortunes or misfortunes.

Yes, I do pray and thank God for all that is good, but I don't take this 40 year season as Devine intervention - at least, not the way you're portraying it.
