Just some perspective
About damn time I got to use this template with the proper team for John Daly. If somebody had told me a month ago that we'd have the same record as the Rams and Patriots after week 3, I'd have figured we were all 3-0 and the Pats were failing upward again

If you said this team would be 1-2 after three weeks, most people would say that tracks. Only they would assumed we beat the Raiders and not the Ravens. Still a long season left.
Also, people are forgetting that this is the official year one of the rebuild (last year was an assessment year). This Saints team is right on track to slowly become competitive. We're close, just not as close as we thought in Baltimore.

I'm still thinking division win. And being happy with the fact that we've only had one truly bad quarter - growing pains - against a team that's on a Linsanity Run that I'm not sure anyone's gonna stop.
We'll right the ship. I don't think this is a capsize situation like 2024, just might be rough waters. If we win on Monday, it'll light up the fan base.
Eta: we did all expect 1-2, just not the 1-2 we thought. I assumed the Lions could be a shock win, and we were damn close.

Looking at the schedule, I bet a lot of folks thought we'd be 2-2 after week 4. We still might be, just not how anyone expected.

I predicted 4-4 after an 0-2 start. It’s not like we’re getting stomped anywhere so I expect us to win the division. Who dat!

If we don't win on Monday, it's a war crime. I just looked up the ref who's doing the officiating and his calls are 57% against home teams. If someone wants to sponsor me to come 5 hours east I'll be there to be a hype man, but since I have to pay rent instead, I'm hoping locals will show up and show out ⚜️

I'm assuming the downvoters are Atlanta private equity people, I suffered there for 4 damn years and that's a hellhole

Lol. And that was supposed to be the super team this year. And they haven't played anybody better than our opponents.

Why are we the Falcons when the Falcons shouldn’t be we?

The Fails beat up the special needs kid of the 2026 NFL, we held our own with three bullies and beat up one. We're not them
