Sigh, instead of actually talking about the article linked, your and your cohorts try to rail on the Falcons. Fine, but don’t get mad when I prove you wrong. Also, I can’t see why you keep bringing up last year’s campaign when your team also lost in first round. Also one and done. LOST TO A DIVISION CHAMP WITH A LOSING RECORD. So your team made history too as the first team to do that.

Trailblazers those Saints are >.>. You sure are talking a lot of junk before the season has even started, bringing up last year (which had to be a huge disappointment giving up 41 to the Seahawks) and talking about attendance when you’re totally wrong on the numbers.

I

Also, it’s funny that you say there was a waiting list, because the attendance percentage (based on those who actually went to the game) your team had the same 96% that we did.

I like the way your argument has pivoted from “No one goes to Falcons games” to “You have more visiting fans than home fans” after I shot down your theory that the Saints sell out every home game and that their attendance is light years ahead of Atlanta’s. Also, complaining about tickets for a November 13th game not being sold out in August sounds a bit asinine to me.

You’re a Saints homer, I get that. It’s fine to be a fan. What’s not fine (and thus what I will call you out for) is making up fans as you go along.

And the hardest place to play? In Seattle? Really? They had a home record last year of 5-3 in the regular season, good but not unbeatable.

I’m still shocked that you’re using injuries as an excuse when the Colts had just as much if not more incentive to say that with 29 players on the injury report in December 2009. It’s like you’re making up excuses as you go along.

to add further clarification, the Saints have a wait list of 30,000 people to buy season tickets. So yes indeed, they do sell out every game. And this year they were the first team to sell out every game before the season, back in late spring/early summer. Even their preseason games are sold out

Selling out every game and doing practically years in advance, is far different than your supposed “96%”, which I doubt. However, the only reason it even looks as high as it does is that corporations like Home Depot buyout remaining tix at the last minute so your games won’t be blacked out.

I’ve seen nothing but half-empty seats in the georgia dome so far in pre-season. I currently reside (temporarily) in Atlanta, so I hear all the rumblings of fair weather dirty bird fans at work and bars (especially regarding mike mularkey.)

the fact that I was able to get several tickets this season (in late August) to the Saints-falcons game in the georgia dome is a shaming indictment on the state of Atlanta fans, they can’t even sell out a game against their biggest rival before the season starts.

Like many years past, the georgia dome will have more Who Dats than dirtybird fans, and I guarantee the Philly game will have more Vick fans then falcan’t fans as well.

We were the lower seed and had tons of injuries that game and had one runningback from the practice squad. We also won the super bowl the year before that. We had tons of injuries and just couldn’t bounce back from that, we also played in one of the hardest if not the hardest places to play at. Win a championship then you can talk, until then RING CHECK!

I mean, does that make your team last year better than ours? Because your Saints gave up 41 points to the Seahawks? Really? You’re bragging about that? Wow.

Even in a down economy, in a smaller market, with a greater percentage of under- or un-employed people, New Orleans has been able to sell out every game in the Superdome over five years now. Of course that has something to do with the product on the field and real Saints fanatics in the stands.

He’s screwing up the League enough as the chair of the rules committee.
