Even without Sean as coach that's a 10-12 win type of schedule, you can't tell before the draft which teams are going to be good and who's going to be terrible, a couple injuries to any of the "good/great" teams and they turn into blowout wins
The way the NFL schedule is set up now, you have to get lucky on which year you catch a team because every 3 years, you are locked to a given division plus whatever teams finished in the same spot as you last year ..... its makes it easy on the office to produce a schedule but i wouldn't be surprised if the Saints get cold weather games against the Packers and Giants before they close out the season in division IMO the Saints will beat the Giants by at least 21 points, its how the Saints have handled the Giants the last few years |

Well, then we'll just have to step up. In 2009 a lot of folks thought our schedule was difficult. It won't be easy but we are going to handle the tough games and all road games fairly well. I believe we can still win 10 or 11 games. And with a little good luck me might could go deep in the playoffs.

That means the Saints' defense could face Peyton Manning, Eli Manning, Tony Romo, Michael Vick, Philip Rivers, Aaron Rodgers, Cam Newton, Matt Ryan and Josh Freeman. Ouch. and they all have to face Brees, who is rivaled by only Rodgers. We were 6-2 vs those QB's last year, and 6 inches from 7-1. |

I think with Spags D every game will be held close, very close.
