NEW ORLEANS — It is a big test for loyal Saints fans-- the first loss at home this season. <b>One Saints player says it wasn't just the team that didn't come through -- fans didn't either.</b>
During the fourth quarter of the Saints game against the Baltimore Ravens, nearly the three quarters of the stadium cleared out before the game was even over, sparking comments from Saints Linebacker Scott Fujita questioning fan loyalty.
<b>"During the fourth quarter, I felt like we got a little momentum and you look around and the stadium is three quarters cleared out. We depend on the fans and just stick around. that's all I have to say," days Fujita.</b>
Most fans say when it comes to the Saints, you've got to have one philosophy: take it with the good and the bad.
Many consider the Cinderella team of the NFL and a storm-ravaged city trying to make a huge comeback are a match made in heaven, but today that union hit a rough patch with the team's first home game loss of the season.
New Orleans native Jeffrey Cavignac says, " You've got to take it with the good and the bad right? We're not transplants. We're born here and this is one of the best teams in the league right now."
Saints fans who care, invested, and who bleed gold and black, say the first home game loss deeply hurts.
Two weeks ago, first time coach Sean Payton gave props to "magnificant" fans for putting the Saints on a winning streak.
Today, he's owning up to the loss.
"I've got to do a better job, certainly preparing this team coming off the bye week. We've got to evaluate what we did because certainly it wasn't real good," says Payton.
<b>But one of his employees is taking a stab at fans. Linebacker Scott Fujita says the fan base failed to bring the well famous 12th man to the dome Sunday.
"One of things that has been unique and rare , the players and fans have been in this together. That's not just lip service, I mean that. Granted, we got our butts kicked today. But, don't leave early. Stick around for us, Marques Colston made a great catch at the end of the game. Drew tied to get something going. I really like feel like, and all our players do, we are in this with the fan base. Stick around for us," says Fujita.</b>
