Talk:New Orleans Saints

CHANGE

More should be added on Bum Phillips reign as coach. Mascots such as 'Gumbo' the dog, The Captain (Saint?), Moses and the Saintsations cheerleaders are quite notable. This team is full of color because of these characters and the teams losing posture. fuck the saints

POV

"Many believe the success of the 2000 season was the result of first year General Manager Randy Meuller's leadership, as" removed from franchise history, as it's POV and uncited. Mueller was misspelled anyway. 207.191.23.54 02:32, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

Listing Giants Stadium as a former home stadium in the infobox

In my opinion, one-use sites should be regarded as "misc. use" and not officially home fields. That's what is listed on one of my primary references: Total Football: The Official Encyclopedia of the National Football League (ISBN 0062701746). Thus, I have not entered one-use sites in the "Home fields" list on the infobox and rather listed them seperately in their relevant articles. For example:

• We already have a seperate 1932 NFL Championship Game article, where the Spartans-Bears game was moved indoors to Chicago Stadium.
• The 1970 Eagles-Bears game that was moved to Dyche Stadium as part of an experiment is primarily only mentioned on 1970 NFL season
• The Dolphins-Chargers game that was moved to Sun Devil Stadium because of the Cedar Fire is primarily only mentioned on 2003 NFL season.
• The Patriots-49ers game that was moved to Stanford Stadium because of the Loma Prieta earthquake is primarily only mentioned on 1989 NFL season.

• This is all well and good, but it doesn't make it correct to say that the Alamodome was the home stadium for half of the season. 3/8 is not half! I am pretty sure there is no wikipedia policy that advocates incorrect math to conform to a loose precedant about listing home stadiums. Besides, there's nothing wrong with correctly stating the number of games they played there and the number of games they played in Tiger stadium, even if they don't add up to 8, because the truth is they only had 7 "home" games.Wbbigtymer 05:51, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
  • Along those same lines, I think it's a lot better to say that Tiger stadium was their home stadium for 4 games, instead of half of the season. Half of the season may be technically correct, but I think 4 games would be a lot more clear. Also, it's consistant with the 3 game listing for the Alamo Dome above.

Just letting you Saints fans know that I created an article for Gary Gibbs. Its a stub now so feel free to expand it.--NMajdan•talk 13:52, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

Strange Redirect

'Houston Oilers' redirects to the New Orleans Saints for some reason. If anything, shouldn't it go to the Tennessee Titans?

You're right. It should. I've never heard of any association between the Houston Oilers and the Saints. Must be a mistake. Ziggy55 (talk) 04:33, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

Saints Season

There is only one word to describe how awesome the Saints are. . . and that is the word WOW! I mean, how surprising was it that a team wiped by Hurricane Katrina and ended up with a 3-13 record, to this year, coming from a VERY sad NFC, to becoming a first round bye in the playoffs as a second seat with a 10-6 record. WOW! —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 72.156.96.53 (talk) 19:37, 9 January 2007 (UTC).

Sean Payton

He is the reason behind all the change. He brought together a "team" for the first time in Saints history and will improve year after year in bringing together the most capable, intelligent, conditioned, prepared players in the NFL. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 70.183.116.27 (talk) 09:38, 26 January 2007 (UTC).

First time the Saints had a team put together? I suggest reading Jim E. Mora. Carface 19:52, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

Championship

I'm confused. Was the Saints/Bears game a championship game or not? Why does the entry still say that the Saints have never played in a championship? Ean 15:41, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

The Saints/Bears game was a conference championship game. The article is referring to an NFL championship game, meaning a championship over the entire league, not just a conference. --Boznia 17:12, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

Yes, but technically the NFC Championship of today is the equivolent of the NFL Championship before the NFL/AFL merger. Just as the AFC Championship is the same as the old AFL Championship game. The only difference being that the winners of those two games now go on to play in the Super Bowl. If the Saints and Jaguars are listed as never playing in a championship game despite making it to their respective conference championship games, then the Cardinals, Browns, and Lions should be listed as well because their championship games came prior to the NFL/AFL merger. - Mike 8:18, 05 March 2007 (UTC)

The sentence in question includes this link (NFL Championship) to explain what is meant by an NFL Championship. Also, the NFC Championship does not equal the NFL Championship prior to the merger. Starting with Super Bowl V, the Super Bowl has been the NFL Championship. Check out the Kansas City Chiefs, the Oakland Raiders, or any other team with an AFL championship. The AFL titles are listed as league titles alongside Super Bowl titles, just like pre-merger NFL Titles are listed as league titles alongside Super Bowl titles with teams such as the Washington Redskins or the New York Giants. Boznia 08:35, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

This page switches tenses often, especially around the area surrounding the 2006 season. Speaking of which, that section could use a major overhaul. There needs to be more talk of the season itself. Tom Agnew 03:57, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

Overtime?

In the Records vs. Opponents section, should it be noted the the last Chicago game went to overtime by adding an OT to the score box, or just leave it as a simple loss? Fred8615 (talk) 18:26, 12 December 2008 (UTC)

OT is precise. Robin.kuylen (talk) 20:59, 21 April 2009 (UTC)
