saintsfan4ever i would agree. no i couldnt see us beating those teams either. but i will say this i didnt think that carolina could either last year. if we can at least play well this year and make it to the dance anything is possible from there. but yes i couldnt see us beating the better teams yet either

I agree 100% with WhoDat as well. The Saints will have to bring their A-game every week and even then most of the wins will be nailbiters.
Anything worse than 5-3 and the season is done. Although ... see below.

Looks like the NFC South may be winable with a 10-6 record this year just as I predicted, which makes the games against the Falcons late in the season even more important. So even if we are 2 games behind Atlanta before we play them in week 12 with 2 wins against them we are even and hold the tie-breaker. With 3 division games rounding out the season the Saints should be in the hunt till the end. I\'m also not convinced Atlanta can stay healthy (Vick+Dunn especially).
Anyway, the Saints have to win their own games and I don\'t believe they could recover from 4-4 at the halftime mark.

Let me go ou on a limb with this one. Saints win 21-0 over cards.
Saints pose there first shutout since 1995 when they beat the jets 12-0.

This defense?!?! A shutout??? Sorry, but there\'s NO WAY. They probably won\'t even hold the lowly Cards to under 20. I could score on this defense 11 on 1. They are just terrible.

I say Saints 27, Arizona 20 - Arizona misses a wide open TE in the endzone on the Saints 12 yard line on forth down with 35 seconds to go.

I\'d just settle for a win. Ths is exactly the kind of game we always lose.

BTW: Whats up with that signature. I\'m sure you love Gator polishing your pole and all but just a few points...
1st-Gator missed some

2nd-I don\'t recall what we\'ve argued about.
3rd-most importantly I certainly don\'t remember losing any arguments if we did.
Please explain. Or get your \"good buddy\" to please

Does an 0-3 Cardinal team scare anyone else besides myself?

I\'m going to default to the Peter King rule. If King thinks we lose in the desert this weekend, then I feel pretty comfortable saying this is the one week that we win big.

:kerry:

**** King, comeon BMG, you\'re better than that.
