I don't get the negativity. Our major problem last year was the offense, including the line, under one Pete Carmichael. He is now history, along with his entire coaching staff. 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!!

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

You do realize that nothing we do on this forum effects the Saints, right?
