I see a major, MAJOR problem with the 2013 New Orleans Saints
Call me a Debbie Downer, but here goes....I see a HUGE potential problem for this team on the horizon.
I worry that the awesomeness of the 2013 Saints team is too awesome for their physical human bodies to contain, and that the collective awesomeness of players, coaches and fans will explode out of all our bodies, leaving the state of Louisiana with almost no population remaining, very briefly before the awesomeness overwhelms the universe as we know it and totally destroys the entire space-time continuum and everything in existence. Of course, my biggest worry would be that this happens BEFORE the Saints win the Super Bowl. That would kinda suck. |

It was the Raiders... The real test is next Sunday.

Special teams coverage looks worse than ever but I think we'll get by. No one is suggesting we're the 2000 Ravens, but its clear to me that we're much improved on defense. |

Next week the secondary should be tested and we'll see where we're at, unless we keep getting pressure like we have been...

And damn straight you Falcon fans would be drooling with a chance to get a DE like Cameron Jordan or a CB like Keenan Lewis... |

And even if we ranked 21st, thats probably enough for a 12-4 record and bye in the playoffs. Hell, even the worst defense in NFL history still managed beat your Falcons. ![]() Perhaps those dirty bird glasses of yours are keeping you from viewing things rationally, or perhaps you're just scared? Tell skid britches we said hello. |

I don't think a 10-12 spot jump in out of the question. Looking at the league right now, I think that our D should at least be able to improve to 24-22 though. If we stay in the bottom 8 I will be pretty upset.
