A Saints Fan (Presumably) Had A '28-3' Banner Flown Over Top Of Mercedes-Benz Stadium This Afternoon12/7/2017
Far before this season had even started, all 10,000 variations of the '28-3' punchline had run their course with me. Two extremely depressing games into this season, it became the second most seemingly inevitable and annoyingly repetitive joke of a stat when yet another '7-9' stint started to seem like a foregone conclusion. But now that the Saints are on the verge of clinching a playoff spot - potentially at the expense of their heated division rival (with a little help come Sunday) - after winning 9 of their last 10 in predominantly dominant fashion? Man, I hope the fans take it far beyond the limit of obnoxiousness in reminding an on-the-postseason-ropes Atlanta Falcons team just how well they perform under pressure. Fly it over the stadium. Drape it on a billboard. Slap it on a t-shirt. Scream it through the goddamn streets of city that doesn't give a half of a damn about showing up to watch professional football anyway. Anything that could dump just a little more salt in the wounds of a team that turned a Super Bowl appearance into one of the most embarrassing moments in their franchise's history. Not because it can - in any way whatsoever - be considered topical, original, or even remotely funny humor, but because the pain of their playoff hopes slowly evaporating as they face New Orleans two of the next three weeks should sting as much as possible.
