How great would it be to see Manning walking off the field with black and gold confetti streaming down...

I want the Saints to win but after reading a Vikings messageboard I must say I do not like the Saints fanbase one bit
From what I understood, one of their more intelligent/mature posters went to the game and had to endure peope throwing bottles and cups at him and screaming in his ear the whole way.
He said he watched as a high school aged girl in his party burst into tears at the things Saints fans were saying as they made their way out of the game.
He claimed to have visited plenty of different venues in his day and said he was appalled at the welcome he received in New Orleans. To the Saints credit he did say they met plenty of great people but the bad apples were shockingly bad
Maybe that's what happens when a team has it's first taste of success though
I can't believe thats true, Ive never have seen that in 40 years, ever.
We even post a code of conduct on our site
New Orleans Saints - New Orleans Saints Fan Code of Conduct
Proper conduct is as much a part of N.O. as football
YouTube - Saints Fans Discuss NFL Fan Conduct Policy
IF this occur it would be surprised if the were from N.O. and way more surprise it was not stopped by our own fans. I have been to about 60 games never seen anything like your describing.
Well like I mentioned at the end he said they met plenty of decent people and during their walk Saints fans intervened to shut up the unruly fans.
I wasn't looking for a reason to hate the Saints and I was surprised to see it too, but this guy came off as one of their more experienced and level headed posters. It didn't sound like something he would make up

I didn't see or hear anything like that. My friends shook hands with every Vikings fan they saw on the way out the door, in fact. There's a few jerks in every fan base, unfortunately but all of the Vikings fans in our section were welcomed.
The spot of the ball when he lost controll, which IMO, if that was a first then faulks was a first against the colts...the PI call when that ball was uncatchable, and the pass at the end when the WR did not have controll.
even all that shouldnt have mattered when way ealier in the game, on one of the Favre INTs, where Farve broke his ankel, wasnt that lunging at the qbs knees? You dont have to answer because yes it was...thats 15 yards and the pick comes back..thats single moment could be what changed the game.
ok. disagree on the spot...agree on the uncatchable but it's a judgment call with things happening fast, so I didn't like it but wouldn't call it "bad"...i thought he had control...i think the brady rule defines lunging as being on the ground and continuing at the QB's knees after the Defensive player is down...
If it was a judgement call, it was a bad judgement thats for sure.
and the brady rule does not mean that, it means you can not lunge at a qbs legs at all.
Got some stats on the game , we dont matchup to bad
I have serious doubts that the Saints can win this but PLEASE prove me wrong. I actually found myself cheering for the Jets last week because I want the Colts to lose so badly. The JETS!! lol
If the Colts win you know Polian will gloat about being right.
Man that would be something, Drew has done so much with so little for so long, I think allot of us believe he deserves this more than we do, be a really cool day
nice to see a nice guy finally not finish last
Drew hasn't won anything yet. If y'all think that "getting there" is what it's all about, then you will lose. If the Saints go to Miami to celebrate a "really cool day" and the Colts go there to play a Football game the Colts will win.
Please! Beat the Colts! All of this "happy to be there" crap is starting to scare me. You have to beat the Colts. Save the happy thoughts for about 10:00PM EST on Super Bowl Sunday.
We are not playing PatsFanSince74. We cant control one bit what happens. Its up to the boys and payton to do that. But sitting in a shack and acting serious is not going to change what they do. We can only support and believe in them, thats were our job ends.
pherein, I'm hoping Drew Brees is going to/already has dropped a dime to Tom Brady or Ben Roethlisberger. Both guys won SB's their 1st shot and they also played and won the 2nd time around. Both QB's could offer up some valuable insight for Drew on how to prepare and what to expect in terms of distractions, dealing with the media, how to control emotions leading up to the game. Because both QBs have played in more than 1 SB they know what they did wrong in their approach the 1st time around and can share that with Drew. Drew is the key to the game. If he's "on" the Saints will win this game. They are the better team.
