Predict the Saints' Record This Year

Re: Predict the Saints' Record This Year
 
I'm with Nick Underhill here. He deleted his original Twat where he predicted 10-7.


However, when the schedule has looked daunting in recent previous years, we seem to be able to overcome. No SP, or Brees. But this may be a good thing. I see our Defense to be more than just a snootful, as the late Jim Finks used to say. Because of that and our moves at WR, barring injury, I see our record more optimistically than Nick Underhill, maybe 13-4, possibly edging out Tampa for the division.

I will say 7-10. I hope we are better but I see risk. We were 9-8 last year and we lost a hall of fame caliber coach and replaced him with a career .222 coach who would blame the Raiders disfunction for that record. But remember the Saints were dysfunctional when Payton arrived, so disfunction may only stop lesser coaches. We have definitely upgraded at WR which is why I dont predict a .222 record though it could happen. We lost 2 pro bowl level players in free agency. A lot will depend on injury and perhaps suspension so if everything goes right we could win but I feel we have a lot of risk. Our qb is coming off an acl. Michael Thomas has not been healthy in 2 years. Cameron Jordan is getting old and Davenport is brittle. Our 3 biggest free agent signings all come with injury concerns over their careers. Taysom Hill is $10 million of glass and we cant sign a real TE because we have to justify his salary. Kamara could still be suspended and the offense has struggled with him out. Our quest under Mickey Loomis to have as few draft picks as possible has left us with an older and less deep roster. If everyone stays healthy we could win it all if Allen has a great second act as head coach, but Allen’s first act was weak and we have accumulated a lot of injury risk.

Care for a friendly wager? :D I'll gladly take the over on seven games. Every day.

13-4. We will have a good defense again this year and the offense will be a lot better. I’m thinking Winston will have a great season!

You are predicting 17-0 in the regular season so will you give me the over-under on that? How about we meet in the middle at 12-5? I will give you that bet and even if they reach exactly 12 you win.

The fact is that we were 9-8 last year and with many people predicting far more than 9 wins in this thread, its perfectly reasonable for one person to predict less, based on a much less proven coach. Ironically, I am also the only one who would also trade Payton within the division for three 1st round picks, because I guess I feel someone worth three 1st round picks could be worth 2 wins in the record, whereas others think he is worth 8 1st rounders within the division but at the same time expect we will win more games without him.

I always predict an undefeated record. Every year.

But, I get where you're coming from.

10 or 11 wins.

A lot of change in one season. Middle of the schedule is rough.

saintsfan1976 05-16-2022 08:21 AM

Re: Predict the Saints' Record This Year
 
I am bullish on this season for obvious reasons.

My one and only main concern going into 2022 (aside from health) is the volume of changes in a single offseason.

New Head coach
New assistant coaches
2 new starting safeties
2 new starting WRs (not even mentioning MT)
New LT

Look, I think every move is at least lateral if not upgrade but the communication alone will be challenging.

Those first four games I feel like we should come out 4-1 could just as easily turn into 1-4 if we're not sharp.

I'm probably wrong....

Something to consider is the status of our key competitor in the division, Tampa Bay.

New Head Coach
Three additional new coaches
Loss of key starters S Justin Whitehead, RG Alex Cappa, LG Ali Marpet
Week 15 ACL injury to Chris Godwin

As for the Saints communication, the defense stays pretty much intact other than the two major additions at safety and both are veterans and should be able to pick up the defense, especially given a full off-season of activities for the first time in three years.

12 -5

Like 76 eluded to earlier, that stretch of games (starting with the Bengals) in mid-October & into November will be challenging.

That's actually quite realistic.

Commanders, Giants, Eagles (twice), Bears, Lions & then sprinkle in powerhouse Jaguars and the juggernaut Texans :rolleyes: ... yep they'll have a shot at 12.

On paper, definitely not the most "difficult" regular-season schedule for the Cows.

They'd have to sweep their division just to reach 10 wins given those opponents. I just can't see that happening. Nine wins probably wins the NFC East.
