New Orleans Saints have their share of doubters for this season

TheOak · 06-28-2012, 06:51 AM

"Assistant head coach Joe Vitt, left, will have to miss eight games this season"
"Who will replace assistant head coach Joe Vitt when he departs for the first six games?"

Scratches head...? huh

"Can the team weather the first half of the season when most of the suspensions will be in effect?"
You mean the suspended players that have been replaced with upgrades?

"Veteran ESPN NFL analyst John Clayton crunched the numbers on the entire NFL season and predicted the Saints to go 9-7 and miss the playoffs."

When you not only quote John Clayton, but use him as the pillar of your argument you lose all credibility.

What the hell is Athalon magazine?

Herm Edwards... Worse than referencing John Clayton

Vegas is where the real analysts are.... Seriously, those cats livelihood and welfare ride on their accuracy..They do not make statements just to get people to read their webpage.

Brees alone will throw 6-7 W's. The defense would have to totally suck not to get a few more W's and I don't see that happening. They will get it together enough to make the playoffs.

John Clayton -

"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!
