John Clayton -

Quote:

"I just question whether the Saints can win the close games as well as they have in the past," Clayton wrote in his ESPN.com mailbag Monday. "They aren't as good along the offensive line with the loss of Carl Nicks. Their defense is in transition after the departure of Gregg Williams. Plus, the division is better. The Saints have a tough task ahead just to make the playoffs."

mmkay, you got that Saints fans, mmkay!

Full disclosure: I wrote the Saints team preview for the Athlon yearbook and predicted an 11-5 campaign and NFC South title. But the editors weren't swayed

THAT'S OK DUNCAN! YOU CAN KISS SAINTS FANS BUTTS AS MUCH AS YOU WANT,
WE'RE STILL GONNA KICK YOUR BEHIND WHEN WE SEE YOU ON THE STREET

ESPN NFL analysts Marcellus Wiley and Herm Edwards agreed. On the network's NFC South preview special this month, they picked the Saints to finish third in the division behind the Carolina Panthers and Atlanta Falcons.

Marcellus Wiley? Who cares.
Herm Edwards? SUPER WHO CARES!
