So we got that going for us, which is nice.

But in the end its ok. If we don't win a lot of games we still have our own 1st round pick so we have insurance. If we win, great, if we don't, we could be in a position to draft a QB of the future and that position will also help attract better coaching candidates than for example Carolina was able to with no 1st round pick and looking for a coach or we would have been this offseason with a later 1st round pick than our own.

Mebbe ... or mebbe we have our QB of the future already in the QB room.

As far as the Oline goes there are obviously going to be a lot of new parts. I don’t know if lack of experience is a bad thing. That means getting younger. Especially when we’re switching to a new blocking scheme this off-season anyway. Penning will be more experienced and hopefully healthier. They brought in guys from other teams with experience but past health issues. I’m sure they could have signed Peat had they wanted to. They feel good about moving on. The key is always is going to be health. Can Ram play at all? I heard some of the guys we brought in as free agents had promising starts to their career, but were sidelined by health issues. Can they stay on the field?

doubt it. EZ money for ms benson though... all the fools and their money soon to be parted and given to her.

Detilier makes his prediction ... 8-9. Below average.

If the Saints miss the post season (again), it's probably time to hire a new Head coach.

I get the feeling that DA is on a short leash and if this team under performs (sub .500) then he's history. I'm cautiously optimistic with the changes in coaching and the fresh blood thru FA and the draft.

You do realize that we are officially in a position (yet again) to either hope for a sub .500 season, to possibly let this short leash go, or a .500 season, to keep him around for yet another season after this one? Help me see the joy in any of that without prescribing the dosage that lights up Quido’s panties every Sunday.

7 probable, 8 less probable, 9 doubtful but is in any Saints fan realm of wishful thinking...anything above 9 is in the I'll have what Guido is smoking.

Broncos, Raiders, Giants, Panthers & Commanders should be slam dunks.

Everything else is a toss up including Atlanta.

Yep, 8 wins seems about right.

While I expect the Broncos to struggle, they have a coaching advantage, and they did beat the following playoff teams last year: Chiefs, Packers, Bills, and Browns. They were not consistent but had a hard schedule, finished 8-9, and could beat anyone any given Sunday.

The Raiders last year put up 63 points on the Chargers, and also beat the Superbowl champ Chiefs. They finished 3-1 under a young energetic coach. If you want to make a bad coaching excuse, the Josh McDaniels was like if Pete Carmichael was head coach and GM and less likeable and more insecure. The Raiders again played a harder schedule than the Saints last year and finished 8-9.

We play the Giants in December and could be playing in snow. While not great, Daniel Jones is a lot better than Danny Devito and they have made the playoffs more recently than us.

The Commanders were horrible in 2023 but they have a certain QB you may have heard of, who Guido might be predicting 30-0 if we drafted him. We play them late in the season, and if he is the next CJ Stroud we could lose. Remember, our game with the Texans last year was a slam dunk too.

Anyway, I think these so called slam dunks are actually toss ups we could win but might lose. The Panthers are where we have to hope for a slam dunk. But if we go 1-0 against the Panthers in the opener, what happens the next 5 games against the cowboys, eagles, at falcons with cousins, and chiefs? We could be 1-4 heading into a matchup vs Tampa, or we could be 2-3 or 3-2 if lucky.
