2013 Season Projection ... Obviously By An Idiot

curlylouis · 06-02-2013, 08:30 PM

Nice predictions although, I think I would trade outcomes between the away Atl game and the St. Louis game. Under Payton we have struggled against the Rams and I think the Saints would be more motivated to beat Atl in Atl this time around considering the 'hospitality' the falcons fans showed them the last time they were in town. I think I would also give the Saints an L against Seattle. Seattle does have a tough home crowd. Bottom line: It's all on the defense. If the defense looks good, then we can talk about a 10+ win season.

I think winning or losing to Seattle depends on weather they're playing inspired football or not. They're a good team but still suffer from mixed personalities.

We Owe The Rams , Seahawks and 9ers a good ole Blank whippin , I think we will give them just that ...

In alot of these predictions I saw a very evenly matched team so I went with the the three most telling signs of which is the better team ...

Who has the Better QB , Who Has the Better Head Coach , lastly who has the most Veterans ...

I don't care what happens next season with the exception of ONE thing. We had better get our revenge on the niners - they are due big time, and I'm not talking about just the last two years. I remember the Montana days and I'm still pissed off.

How bad was our defense last year? Who's starting as tackles? Have any linemen played 3-4 against a pro offense? Is Drew going to throw as many unforced interceptions, AGAIN?

When's our first preseason game?

Tampa is going to be better
St. Louis is too
Games with Atlanta are always tough

If the defense was set, I would agree with you.

But I think 14-2 is a reach. I see a 12-4/13-3 record more likely, barring injuries.

Saints will win the NFC South, and if we aren't seeded 1st or 2nd, get our first road playoff win, either against the seachickens or the Packers!

Here's a thought...why don't we take it 4 games at a time? Then by everyone else's week 5, we're done and can start to rest and recover for the playoffs. Should I be a coach or what?

Well technically he did list them one game at a time.

Especially when Brees broke the all-time record for passing yards in a single season, eh?
Actually, apart from a few exceptions, I agree. But it might also be tough because we know that even if both teams are at 0-15, it matters so much so we look at it always with more anxiety than most other games.
