Saints Have Played the Toughest Schedule in the NFL To Date

Saintsfan4ever · 10-16-2007, 02:59 PM

What troubles me the most about the Saints' chances to rebound to the top of the division is Tampa Bay's remaining schedule and the way they are playing. The Saints are the toughest opponent I see left on their schedule. Garcia is playing solid, and TB just picked up RB Michael Bennet to strengthen their running game.

I try to be optimistic like all true Saints fans, but if the goal in our division is to get 9 wins for a playoff birth, then TB only has to win 5 of their next 10 (with a weak schedule), Saints have to win 8 of their next 11. This wouldn't be such a high hurdle to jump if Tampa were sucking, but they`re not.

*and btw, I figured out the number crunching

I guess we`ll wait n see how it plays out. WHODAT!

Correct me if I'm wrong. Hadn't the Saints picked up Michael Bennet last year? I could be wrong.

He was with the Saints for a very short time.
