I (like Guido) want the saints to win every game. Unlike him I don’t say I expect them to. I want them to win a second SB. But I realize the difficulties in doing so and that some factors are out of a team’s control.

I want them 20-0. But I’d rather them 16-1 than 13-4. Rather them 13-4 than 10-7. 10-7 rather than 6-9. 6-9 rather than 2-15. I wasn’t happy when Payton had a three year 7-9 run. But I would have been less happy with multiple 3-13 records.

By necessity, the first step in winning the SB is making the playoffs. Hopefully that means winning the division. Again, when I brought this up in another thread, you questioned my manhood. Not sure why my point of view brings this type of response from you.

I agree completely with all of that, Boston, except for the highlighted sentence. I have never expected them to go undefeated. I have always known better than that. It's virtually impossible in the NFL, especially today. I have simply never been into this whole predicting the record hype. Honestly nobody knows with so many factors involved so that's why I always just say 20-0, or 19-0 when there were 16 games.
