My point was already covered by y'all, but just to beat the dead horse a lil bit more, the only thing espn is good for is actually broadcasts of live games. The rest of it is designed for the casual boob sports fan that is up late, flipping thru the channels and sees a blurb and goes back to watch 30 seconds then considers himself well informed.

I think the only teams the Saints will have problems with is teams with flourishing offenses.

Now look at the schedule, you dont really see one except New England.

Seattle and San Fran will test the defense, but I doubt they will get it done.

I said this back in 2009, some how we gone full circle into it again 3 years later, but I think the defense is the least of the worries this season and the focus should be on if the offense can beat some of these defenses coming up this season. What happened today vs Houston is not bad defense, quite frankly its expected, but they did limit Houston to FGs quite often and punts. You not going to see Andre Johnson every game nor any WR of that caliber, I dont consider Roddy White or Julio Jones anywhere near a Andre Johnson either.

I a watching NFL live right now & 2 of their people just said we were making the playoffs.

This is a case of one hand not knowing what the other is doing.

I could see that prior to the pre-season actually starting. I seem to remember Payton actually saying some low number of wins in his predictions before they started.
But seeing how pre-season is turning out with every team in our division alone, that's just so far off base with reality. We'll see what the predictions are after week one if the Saints handle their business with Atlanta.
