1. Can the Saints Keep Up With Their Division?
Well lets look at the last 3 years before the No-Payton/Bountygate/Spags debacle...

2011 13-3
2010 11-5
2009 13-3

37-11 over the previous 3 years, and we now have more talent than ever. I think the answer is obvious.


2. What Kind of Impact will Rob Ryan Make?
If he just gets us back to the kind of defense GW ran, with a little less predictability, I'd say his impact should make us a top 3 contender for the NFC title.

3. Can the Saints Adjust to a Two Tight End Set? Gee, I seriously wonder if Drew Brees will be able to find the open guy in a two TE set. Perhaps he just doesn't quite have that total field awareness to take advantage of that. (for our Falcon fan readers, that is what's called sarcasm)


4. How Will the Loss of Chris Ivory Impact the Saints?

For those 4 games where he's not injured/inactive/benched, we may need to rely on Drew Brees to shoulder the load, because we all know PT, Ingram, and Sproles just can't get it done. (again Falcon fans, sarcasm)

5. Can the Saints Gain Consistency this Year?

Uhh, now that we have Payton back that may be the dumbest question since "will Matt Ryan choke in the playoffs again?".

For our Falcon readers that means yes we will be more consistent, and yes Matt Ryan will choke in the playoffs, IF they make it.
