Saints schedule/predictions
I'm just going to get right to it... We better start 4-1or 5-0, because the schedule is down right awful after the bye week. 5 division games after the bye, 6 of 11 on the road including two trips out west and one to the SB Champs. And the weeks we do play at home are against teams like SF, ATL, & Philly. Call it what you will friends, but this schedule is screaming 10-6 at best! I'd be very happy to see more than 10 wins.

Don't sleep on Tampa Bay this year... I think they have improved enough to challenge for the division!
Re: Saints schedule/predictions
I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but there is this guy in New York & he's already proven he doesn't like the Saints very much especially this season for some reason. Since this guy is the top cop, judge, jury, executioner, & gets to hand pick who his favorite candy stripers are this season, it's a pretty safe bet that the Saints won't top 500. The only way to the Superbowl that I know of is through the playoffs. Since Goodole Goodell doesn't want the Saints in the Superbowl, it's a pretty sure thing they won't sniff the playoffs. I am looking for somewhere between 5-11 & 7-9. 8 & 8 would be overachieving, which in my book would put them in the top four teams in the league. IF it weren't for that S....illy O....ld B....oy. Roger Goodell.

A small drop off is possible, but keep in mind that the best offense in the history of football is coming back, perhaps even better (Sproles and Graham should be even better this year, and Ingram should be better) than last year. And the defense should be better. All the turmoil could keep the saints from winning superbowl this year, but surely this team is not going to finish 8-8 or lower. It will be more in the 10-6 to 14-2 range. What is Goodell going to do? Start suspending more players and coaches?

Re: Saints schedule/predictions
really annoys me when ppl try and say we don't play well outdoors. Considering all of our home games are indoors, all of our outdoor games will be on the road where teams don't play as well as they do in front of their home crowd. Saints averaged 26ppg last year outdoors. That's going to win you most games given you have a defense that can make a stop every now and then. I mean we got 35pts in an outdoor game in the playoffs ffs...with 4(5?) turnovers, against a good defense. But yeaaaa we're terrible outdoors
