The 2006 Schedule Revisited post FA and Draft...
I am calling this season "The Reckoning"
I thought it would be good to look at the 2006 schedule again since I have not seen a discussion about it since free agency and the draft and make some predictions, I am going to make mine here and I know I am going to get ripped for some of my picks but I am jazzed for about our potential this season, more so than I have been in a long time…So here we go… at Cleveland – W - Season opening excitement too much for young Frye at Green Bay – W - One word, Payback, Lord Favre melts down in 3rd quarter after 2nd INT Atlanta – W - Atmosphere in the Dome too much for any team that night, wish it was the Panthers at Carolina – L -Exposes our D’s weakness, the run L Tampa Bay – W -Brees & Co demolish them at Home, Bush runs free and Horn owns the middle Philadelphia – W - Philly simply wont be back to pre TO form and they still don’t use Westbrook well in the running game, Brees/Hilton connection emerges BYE Baltimore – W -Saints are simply a better team and our Run/middle passing game proves too much for what used to be Ray Lewis at Tampa Bay – L - Home field advantage and a Caddy do the trick for Tampa this time at Pittsburgh – W - Hold on guys, the Saints manage one shocker a year and I think this is it...Bush makes Polamalu look dislexic and Karney puts Foote on his A$$ Cincinnati - L – Palmer and the Johnsons too much for sometimes suspect LB corps at Atlanta – W - We simply own them this year, we played the well last year and they were the beneficiaries of a poorly called game,the Manimal sacks Vick twice… San Francisco – W - Brees & Co run wild on a 3rd tier defense, Norv Turner offense never see the light of day as the Saint’s pass rush is too much for young Alex Smith at Dallas – L - TO wins it for them with a 4th quarter TD that gives them the edge in a close one… Washington – W -A single weapon run attack is shut down while old Brunell can’t out run the pass rush at N.Y. Giants – W -Payback #2, Bush and Deuce run wild while Horn continues on Pro Bowl season, the sports world is gripped by the Saints story as they head into the last week with a prime time date with the Panthers and a shot at a first round bye Carolina – W -Nothing short of a blood bath type street brawl for this one, with a 75 yard reverse field scamper by Reggie Bush, a la Fresno State, Bush declared Rookie of the year, “Saints go marching in� to the playoffs and the history books as their greatest regular season ever ends in dramatic fashion…. Let the jr bashing commence...I make no apologies, I am a FAN...I have FAITH |

I think this is what they can do, so even if we lost to the Redskins and the giants its still a 10 win season and its been awhile since we saw that...with 10 wins that will likely be enough to get us in the playoffs in the NFC...
