A bust... a statue..... a John Bunyan?

What's a John Bunyan in football parlance?

I'm not gonna lie given Lovie's backyard is on his schedule and home games against a team bucs have owned(bengals) and a team who does not have the same identity(ravens), and going to Washington bucs have a chance at winning this division next year. Even splitting with us, sweeping Carolina(if that trend continues and given Carolina this offseason it just may), and splitting with Atlanta they very well could go 12-4 if they pull out a win in Cleveland(they will if they don't trade Revis to them). Lovie will have a plan ready for Cutler, and GB has had problems against bucs as well and in recent memory has had issues with better defenses. They flat out own Minnesota and the lions just don't have IT.

I think we will finish second again if we don't win more than 12 games. the difference is we can win against TB in divisional round unlike Seattle.

Tampa seems to own this time of year the last couple years, and they have nothing to show for it, don't see how that trend doesn't continue

The difference is getting a veteran coach who knows how to handle bigger teams. The last two coaches were coming into a already heated division and didnt know how to deal with Payton and Smith. They also didnt know how to deal with other opponents that had better coaches.

They got better ? Maybe on paper.

How do they keep spending massive amounts?
I suppose its no franchise QB and a rookie deal RB.

The division has always been underrated by the hacks but its just getting tougher and tougher each year.

Say what you want I know as saints fans we Don't really like them But Lovie is putting a Pretty solid team together. They are definitely on the rise the south is going to be very tough. Tampa has made some pretty good moves during the free agency period.
