Schedule adds to Saints' woes

iceshack149 · 04-16-2012, 02:45 PM

I think that since Goodell is angry with the Saints organization, the NFL will their best to make the Saints schedule as terrible as possible.

I'm guessing that the last six games of the season will include @Green Bay, @New England, @New York, home against the Chargers (a team known for playing well towards the end of the season), @Denver, home against 49ers.

I don't see it as really all that tough, the division games will be the roughest I think

I don't know, I think that majority of those games/opponents will be hard fought contests, especially since a weaker team like the Raiders now have Allen as their HC, who knows a lot about how to play against the Saints.

By no means will it be an easy regular season for the Saints, but hopefully they can at least keep up the undefeated record at home.

I guess it all depends on how the defense does this year, I'm basing all my thoughts with the assumption they'll do well

True, and I'm right there in that boat with you, but you can't argue the fact that the schedule could've been a lot easier - at least on paper like Danno said.

I dunno Mitch, "on paper" it does look pretty tough, but as you and I know thats just on paper, and teams can go either direction really fast.

Dont forget, last years win-loss record for our opponents is skewed by the fact that we gave those teams 13 losses.

Remove us from last years stats and its win% is right about the same as this year's schedule.

Saints play New England in the pre-season, not in the regular season

Where do you see New England in that picture?

Oh, yeah, you were referring to the text below the picture.
