No offense 08 but with all the "Saints are gonna suck because..." posts there has to be a "Saints will do well because..." post.

After allowing 119 points in their first four games a year ago, the Saints gave up just 207 in the final 12 contests. Points allowed were also down in the first three exhibition games when the starters were on the field as they allowed just one touchdown.

There's been a lot of noise about the Saints first three draft picks and I think that the Saints will do well against your boys (the Panthers o-line is decimated and will not sneak up on any one this year).
The Bucs are rebuilding and the Falcons are retooling.

Barring any weird setbacks like players stealing other players money, players sleeping with other players wives, or players hiding behind helmets afraid of the media, the Saints will do well.

The D-line looks good, the O-line looks good, the receivers look good, the running back looks awesome, and the quarterback looks good.

BY THE NUMBERS
77 -- Touchdown passes in 2001-03 for quarterback Aaron Brooks, the highest three-year total in club history. Jim Everett had 60 from 1994-96.
