I'm still sticking by my team, but I'm calling it like I see it. I see uninspired play, linemen that get beat on EVERY play, Drew Brees running for his life and I see his frustration, and last night, I saw Deuce McAllister walk off of the field with what appears to be his second ACL tear in 3 years. He may never play football again...that sucks.
For every game this season, I've gone out and supported them the way I could 9.5 hours away from home. I've gone to the ESPN Club, and hell, I've even been to Raymond James Stadium in Tampa. I've gone with the outlook that I'd see my Superbowl Contender Saints and each week, I've seen a team that looks nothing like their 2006 selves. Last year, when you saw Brees take the field, you felt confident that everything would be alright...now it's just a surprise to see him get up again. I've stayed to the end of every game. I've endured the taunts and bragging (rightfully so) of the other teams fans.
I'll still watch every game and continue to hope that the 2006 Saints will return and defeat their "Aints" imposters. I can see in Reggie's eyes that he wants it, I can still see the fight in Drew Brees, when there's time (rarely), Colston gets open. There's still some hope that we can turn things around and make this season somewhat respectable, but it's a long trip to get there.
I'm still sticking with them, just like I did in 2005 and just like I've always done. However, this season hurts real bad. We're better than we're playing (at least I think we are). The expectations were so high, but we've just regressed dramatically. I don't understand it, and I'm hurt....but that doesn't mean I'm not still a fan. I wanna see some football, and right now, I'm not seeing it...at least not in Black and Gold. A play on an old local saying "This Aint your father's Saints" well, "This Aint last years Saints."

He's such a wonderful kid and I wouldn't be surprised if we saw him in the NFL one day!
