Odds are in our favor

The big thing is going to be health this coming season. Our team has good depth, but major long-term injuries can derail any team.

If we stay relatively healthy, without major players missing extended playing time, or being put on IR, I think the Saints have a decent chance of repeating.

Bingo. In fact health was a major problem in both 2008 (remember 17 team members on IR) and had a significant impact in 2009 (3 losses at the end were without starting corners, then the SuperBowl run when they came back.)

If we stay relatively healthy, without major players missing extended playing time, or being put on IR, I think the Saints have a decent chance of repeating.

In other words our best 53 are the best 53 in the game if they are on the field. No argument there.
