Guess what, ice. I took him AND mapcow off "ignore" today. I saw through multiple replies that both were posting more relevant posts and chose to once again interact.

You can take your smugness and do with it whatever you wish.



So, what's your latest prediction on the Saints record?

Two things must happen and we win it all. Carr plays like a pro bowler and both sides of the ball stay relatively healthy.
13-4

Re: Predict the Saints' Record Year 2023

Factoring in several things: Overall team health; More creative Offensive playcalling; Somehow finding a way to stop the Rush; Increased Red Zone efficiency; Strength of Schedule; Sweep the Bucs and Kitties; Split with the Clowns (because it happens); Carr becomes the Field Marshal we know he can be playing with a lead...

Reasonably expect a 12-5 season.

So, what's your latest prediction...?

That you'll continue to be the neighborhood brat and turn off all the good posters here. Really. So many of us have asked you to be less of a petulant jerk but you continue to irritate many people on here.
We're all fans that love this team. We're mostly friends and sometimes it feels like family. We all have that one family member that makes us groan when they show up to family functions and you're him.
Regarding the Saints, with the "easiest schedule" (for what that's worth) I agree with leilung. 12-5.

I am what I am. No amount of your *****ing will change that, ice.

I’d maybe replace/add Carr be a pro bowler for “Win the TO battle”. We do all three of those things and we get 13 wins. We do 2 of them then it’s a 11 win season.

Re: Predict the Saints' Record Year 2023

I know it can sound like a cop out, or a tired, old adage like “any given Sunday “but it wouldn’t surprise me if we suck or if we succeed.

I honestly believe we have a talented enough team that we are guaranteed to win at least four games. That would be a worst case scenario where we have everything go wrong; multiple injuries, lose the turnover battles, have coaching mistakes, miss kicks, and the refs screw us.

For any of those factors that go our way, add 2 wins.

Re: Predict the Saints' Record Year 2023

I don't believe that there is a game on our schedule that we can't win. Does that mean I believe we'll win them all? Most likely not, but I don't see us "out-classed" by any of them. Every week come kickoff I am honestly expecting a Saints win. That's why I have to honestly go with 20-0. I just can't look at any individual game and declare that "we're going to lose that one."

Not trying to fight with you Guido, but saying "there isn't a game we can't win" changes as the season goes along. Looking at things 6 days before the first game is different than looking at games coming up in week 9

Not the way I see it, Boston. In week nine it doesn't matter what team we are playing nor what condition we are in as a team I cannot say that I believe we cannot win the game and I will always expect us to win. I have never felt before any game ever that we wouldn't win. It's just the way I'm wired.

I understand that many people can look at a game and expect not to win. That's fine, but not the way I function.
