New Orleans Saints Forums - blackandgold.com - Am I crazy for seeing a 16-0 season ahead ?

I see 3 losses outside division, believe we split Chicago and Detroit, we lose at Pittsburgh, and lose a trap home game. I feel with how its played out with Atlanta since 08, we have split with and swept them every other year. I feel going there week 1 will be no cake walk but until we break the EOY trend I think we split with them next year. Look at this, falcons have copycated our patterns every year. We go 13-3, they go 13-3. We go 11-5, they go 10-6. We go 13-3, they go 13-3. We go 11-5 and lose the division late.....I see the falcons doing this I think they will start off leading the division then week 14 @packers, steelers(a team they just will not beat defensively due to Ben's throwing style), the biggest team since us week 1 to visit them, and at our place week 16 will do them in. They will, like us last year, give away the division late since they have copied nearly everything we did one year later record-wise. Falcons will probably lose the last game against Carolina since they will be in a funk and eliminate themselves from the postseason. Why do I think Atlanta will start off strong? Week 2 at bengals, a team who we don't really know what they're about, then at vikings in a outdoor field week 4, a team who could be among the worst next year. Then they get lions in London, which I feel lions are gonna have a bad season and be behind at this point, they get a reeling panthers the first meeting before two home games against browns and cards. I see giants, ravens, bucs handing them losses before the December crash. The bucs though are the third party and I see them starting 1-5 and then against vikes, browns, falcons at home, redskins, Lovie's revenge against bears I see them going on a winning run that could come to an end against packers, us, or the first playoff game.
