our season record predictions
 

Ok, we are a third of the way through and most analysis had us going 6-10, 7-9 at best. We are 5-1 and going strong! So seriously, taking a hard look down the stretch, what do you think we will end up at?

Baltimore- we got this one! - Win!

Tampa Bay- strong but beatable- Win!

Pittsburgh- this aint last years champs- Win!

Cinncinnati- may be tough because every week you never know who is going to show up- ?

Atlanta- In their dome and they will want revenge- ?

San Francisco- yeah ok - Win!

Dallas- Romo or Bledsoe? Bledsoe or Romo?- Win!

Washington- again yeah ok- Win!

N.Y. Giants- Manning's a tough kid, he's got swamp water in his blood, another tough one- ?

Carolina- New years eve & home in the dome, regular season ender & a blow out!- Win!
and ...... ON OUR WAY TO THE PLAYOFFS!

I am thinking 12-4 and seriously thinking about tickets to Miami!

Wow! You have been drinking the Kool Aid!

I'd say 10-6 is more likely. Which puts us in the playoffs. Maybe even a playoff win, but no Super Bowl this year.

No, I have not been drinking Kool-Aid, I hate Kool-Aid and I am not dreaming either.
This years Saints are different, they wanna win, can win and have won! I realize that things have not been pretty but they are getting the job done! I may be a hopeless romantic and love my team but I am not blind nor stupid. I know we have a really tough road ahead of us, but things are differant this year and anything is possible. This team and coach are really making things happen.
BELIEVE AND HAVE FAITH!
12-4, or 11-5, if and I say IF we have an off week!

and there are several people in my office that agree with me

11-5 no doubt. I never predict the Saints but this year is different. I felt it at training camp.

I am glad you agree with me too and we ain't drinking no kool-aid!

11-5 including one let down game. we need to go undefeated at home for a better record

New team, new coach = different results for an organization that is known for being one of the worst teams in professional ball? Perhaps.
But as a lifetime Saints fan I've been down this road before only to have my heart be crushed and my dreams dashed. I am hopefull yet I expect little and hope to be continually impressed.

Keep my expectations low and a win makes me so happy while a loss is easier to swallow.


Off subject, I posted a fantasy question in the Big Easy off topic section and hope that some of you gurus can help me make a tough decision for the weekend. Thanks for your consideration.

I say 12-4, home field advantage. On 12/31 our starters will be watching the game from the sidelines. Carolina will be lucky to get a wild card only to be knocked out in the first round.

11-5 is what i have in mind...there are going to be games where the ball doesnt bounce our way and we make a mistake here and there...and assuming we stay away from injuries, i like our chances against anyone in the NFC.
