I can't see our offense NOT being more efficient this year. We added one of the very highest rated offensive linemen in the draft.

Any defensive struggles could be aligned with the anemic offensive playcalling over most of the season. Frequent three and outs can weigh a heavy toll on a defense. But, we all saw how much better the team as a whole played after Carmichael got his head out of his ass down the stretch. I expect more of the same at minimum and more likely, much more production offensively.

The Saints were good enough to win nine games last year and have definitely improved. Looking at the schedule I do not see a single game that we have no shot at winning. No doubt we'll lose somewhere here or there. But I choose to expect to win each individual game and will not accept a loss unless it is final.

20-0 Baby!!

Who Dat!!

:bng:
I can guarantee you that the Saints record at the end of the season will be closer to 8-9 than 20-0.

Pash rush. Where is that gonna come from? Sure, Young COULD work out, but Jordan is older. We are hoping guys that have not really stepped up before step up now. Same was at LB. Strength of D will be backfield.
I'm not concerned with Jordan. He played almost the entire season on a bum ankle. From my understanding that is now behind him. I expect a big bounce back year. As for losing Hurst, no biggie at all. He was "just a guy" all along.

But, no, I do not understand the negativity. I accept that it's going to exist because it seems it's just the way some people look at things. I never could see things that way. Just think, if players had that attitude they would be destined to lose. I was a pretty good golfer in my younger days and one thing I never thought about when addressing the ball was what could go wrong. I always visualized a successful shot. I would suspect the players have that same mindset, thank God. :cool:

If it is, it is. It does me no good to expect anything other than wins each and every week. Winning a gold star for guessing a record means nothing to me. ;) It's pretty meaningless, in fact.

Well. If you can’t understand it then you aren’t a realist. Each their own.

You can be both a realist and have a totally positive attitude. As a realist I accept whatever is not directly under my control. If I can't control it I don't worry about it. It is what it is. I simply never expect the worst. I can handle it if it happens, but I feel it is unhealthy to dwell on it.

But, as you said, to each their own. While one might look at a schedule and see eight or nine games they suspect we lose I simply look at the same schedule and see every game we can win. Since I don't see any game we absolutely cannot win why not expect the best?

:bng:

No, as a realist you would understand the very real concerns that face the team this year but use your positive attitude to believe they can be overcome. By saying you don’t understand them you are denying their real existence. Hence being….unreal. But that’s just my 2 cents.

Re: 2024 Saints Schedule Release
 
2023 was a bigger disaster than many think...

Facts

Saints 2023 schedule was ranked the second easiest at .427

Let's look at Dennis Allen's "first winning season".

Saints went 9-8 thanks to wins against QBs Gardner Minshew, Tyson Bagent amd Tommy Devito.

Saints won 2 games thanks to wins against the worst team in football the Carolina Panthers who only won 2 games and by a whopping total of 4 points.

Vegas currently shows Saints are a favorite to go UNDER 7.5 (+100).


On to 2024.

The soft reset. With ageing players and an eye to the future, Saints have begun to wind down from their "win now" approach. Not saying it's right or wrong but it'll impact the roster.

2 of the 5 starting offensive lineman are in place. All others are unknows. Yes, Fuaga is likely to be a day one impact starter (maybe for the next 10 years) but behind him is more uncertainty. TBD on LT/RT, and LG.

Entirely new offensive system and staff. It'll take time to gel.

We're counting on big performances from old players. Cam Jordan. 35. Demario. 35. Mathieu. 33. Taysom. 34.

Will Chase Young pan out?

So many questions....

It's been said Saints have the second easiest schedule again this season. But they're factoring in playing 2 win Carolina and 7 win Atlanta twice.

Just look at the schedule and you'll find:

First 1/3rd of the schedule is brutal.

Second 1/3rd of the schedule they play 3 games in 14 days.

If they survive that gauntlet the final leg of the season follows a bye week and we COULD be in a decent spot for a playoff game.


I'm not being negative, I'm being realistic.

This will feel real good when we win the NFC South and start our playoff run.

It's no less serious than one that includes continuously expecting the worst. But, personally, I really don't care in the least what anyone thinks of my opinion. The way I look at it is if I'm forced to see others constantly posting doom and gloom I shouldn't feel bad about my spreading sunshine and rainbows, instead.

I, like many others, came to this site for information, not so much for the "venting" (aka *****ing and moaning). Those few of us left (thanks, Smash!) do our best to share whatever information we can gather for those without the time or patience.

Lord knows I’ve had my issues with Guido. Along with his undefeated season predictions every year, his questioning of why others don’t share his black and gold colored glasses gets old.

That being said, IMO the constant negativity directed at those that try to put a positive spin on things is just as off putting. There are PLENTY of reasons to criticize the organization. But there are plenty of reasons to appreciate the organization as well.

The team has won at least 7 games for the past 18 seasons. That keeps you in the hunt. Again, it’s not what we strive for, but plenty of teams do a hell of a lot worse. Those that point that out are accused of eating a **** sandwich. That’s just as irritating as Guido saying everything the team does is perfect.

Again, JMO.

Both takes are an annoying footnote to an otherwise joyful experience at B&G.com

Guido gets a lot more credit thanks to the copious amounts of information. :D

Now, putting on my realistic but POSITIVE hat... :p

The influx of younger talent bodes well for the future.

After his first winning season, Dennis Allen may have figured some things out.

A entirely new offensive staff and approach. We've been clamoring for that for years. It's gotta be good for the team.

Our defense is still dominant.

Rattler. Saavy move. Could be the future.

NFC South still a weak division.

We have 6 draft picks in 2025.

Yay. Championship. :bng:

You don't think Jake Haener is tailor made for Kubiak's offense?

Listening to Underhill speak on both QB's, it appears that Spencer will need to be less reckless with the ball, limiting poor decisions & subsequent picks. There is no denying his arm talent though.

Meanwhile Jake isn't known to be the most athletic, however his strength IS his decision making ability & protects the football.

This should be an interesting battle for QB2 in Kubiak's offensive system.

I do and in fact I posted about it when Kubiak was signed.

I think you need to see what both can in this offense.

Player safety is important to the NFL. It's just not as important as the all mighty dollar.:doh:
