Re: We Haven’t Beat A Stable Established QB
It is premature to predict a record before free agency, the draft, and possible coaching changes. Also remember in many games Dennis Allen didn’t get beat, he beat himself, like when Sam Darnold through for 44 yards. So maybe Dennis Allen won’t get fired but will fire himself in one way or another.

You asked me to predict the Saints record. I said 20-0 just like I did last year and just like I have said 19-0 before they went to 17 games last season. In no individual week during the season am I expecting my Saints to lose that week therefore I would not predict a loss that week. If I feel that way on a weekly basis is there a reason I shouldn't feel the exact same way over the entire season?
That's why I have always "predicted" the Saints to win each game every year for decades and will continue to make the same prediction moving forward. So, am I going to bet those ridiculously long odds based upon your premise? Nope. Only a fool would do that and I repeat, I am no fool. Now do you get it? However, I would place, say, a $20 bet on a season long money line parlay for every Saints game. I would do that in a second. I would lose if the Saints lost a single game. However, if they didn't lose that $20 would roll over to the next game multiplied by the previous game's money line odds. Then those winnings would be placed on the next game's money line and on and on. At even odds (which it may even out to as they remained undefeated) the total at the end of the run would be $20,971,520. Could you handle that? |

I can say, however, that he almost doubled his career win total in his first season with the hobbled Saints so there is that.

Hope for the best and expect the worst. That is the lifeline of a New Orleans Saints fan.
