Am I crazy for seeing a 16-0 season ahead ?
 

#4 defense behind only Seattle , San Fran and Carolina ( Exceptional Defenses ) Byrd , , Bailey , Baptiste and Vaccarro being healthy ensure that only goes up also ensures we don't lose gimmes

#2 Passing Attack just Added another 4.3 speed freak ( we now possess 3 Recievers that can take the top off a defense which means Graham 1 on 1 with your best LB all game )

Robinson & Ingram ran through all 3 top defenses Last year ...

Armsteads year 2 will be much better ( was solid against Bennett in Seattle )

The only QB we play that even deserves to be on the same field as Brees is Rodgers who we get at home ...

Yes you're looney.

Re: Am I crazy for seeing a 16-0 season ahead ?
 

No.

Re: Am I crazy for seeing a 16-0 season ahead ?
 

Yes you are, we always lay an egg or two along the way.

Re: Am I crazy for seeing a 16-0 season ahead ?
 

I don't want us to be 16-0, I want a second ring.

Re: Am I crazy for seeing a 16-0 season ahead ?
 

How would that prevent us from getting a second ring?

Re: Am I crazy for seeing a 16-0 season ahead ?
 

ensure???

You know they still have to play the games right???

Someone check the kool-aide he is drinking...

Re: Am I crazy for seeing a 16-0 season ahead ?
 

Why not both

Re: Am I crazy for seeing a 16-0 season ahead ?
 

I said we would have a top 10 defense about this time last year and people thought I was crazy, so you never know what somebody might know....but yes, you're crazy.

Re: Am I crazy for seeing a 16-0 season ahead ?
 

Your not crazy. Your just a fan!

Re: Am I crazy for seeing a 16-0 season ahead ?
 

Aaaaggghhh!!! I'm crazy as ****! (But you need to go to the place that has padded walls and buckled shirts!) Lol.

Re: Am I crazy for seeing a 16-0 season ahead ?
 

Re: Am I crazy for seeing a 16-0 season ahead ?
 

But you say that every year, you're bound to be right.

Re: Am I crazy for seeing a 16-0 season ahead ?
 

I'd settle for a week off then 3-0 to end the season

Re: Am I crazy for seeing a 16-0 season ahead ?
 

15-1 😂😂😂

Re: Am I crazy for seeing a 16-0 season ahead ?
 

heck no the season has not started and your always undefeated till you are defeated

Re: Am I crazy for seeing a 16-0 season ahead ?
 

The thing is we play the opposite of what we played last year

Rodgers>Wilson, Packers offense>Seahawks offense
Bears next year>Bears last year
Stafford/Megatron>Fitz/Palmer, Lions offense>Cards offense
Cowboys=Cowboys
49ers=49ers
Bucs next year>Bucs last year

The schedule is just going to be more of a challenge for the defense. The speed and turnovers will need to pay off.

Personally I will give us no better than 12-4. I believe we put ourselves in position to beat the teams we likely will play in the playoffs but we face a lot of underachieving high octane offenses in the regular season.

Re: Am I crazy for seeing a 16-0 season ahead ?
 

We are built for that schedule. Offensively we were not up to the defenses we had to go through last season.

Re: Am I crazy for seeing a 16-0 season ahead ?
 

There's no one on our schedule we can't beat. Actually no team in the league but ours scares me this year. I know its early and just on paper but we look fierce.

Re: Am I crazy for seeing a 16-0 season ahead ?
 

Yea but nothing wrong with starting the season with a positive attitude!
I see us 11-5 or in there, at worst 10-6. We make the playoffs and its on.

Re: Am I crazy for seeing a 16-0 season ahead ?
 

Even though we lost 3 games on the bounce to end the season in 2009, there was nothing quite like opening the playoffs somehow flying under the radar and dominating arizona the way we did

So yeah what danno said, we always lay an egg somewhere, we were lucky in 09 that it didnt cost us HFA, if we have the playoff games in the dome, our odds at a superbowl are massively in our favour

Re: Am I crazy for seeing a 16-0 season ahead ?
 

We've certainly got the talent on both sides of the ball to go 16-0, but 16-0 requires some lucky bounces along the way too, and key injuries always play a role.

It wouldn't shock me, but its very unlikely.

We have 12 to 14 win talent.

Re: Am I crazy for seeing a 16-0 season ahead ?
 

The hardest opponents ( GB week 8; SF week 10) are both at home, which helps.

Last years schedule had all sorts of game that scared me in a weird way, like the Jets in NY ~ I Just knew we'd fizzle cos I despise the Jets organisation. The Pats game also looked bad.

This year, I am hard pressed to find a really ominous away game.

I wouldnt be stunned if we walked away with 14-2. Having said that, I suspect closer to 12 or 13, as that's how things work usually, dropping something stupid like week 15 in Chicago or week 7 at Detroit.

Home field in the playoffs all the way would be so sexy.

Re: Am I crazy for seeing a 16-0 season ahead ?
 

13-3 baby! :bng:

Re: Am I crazy for seeing a 16-0 season ahead ?
 

As sane as the next WhoDat!

19 & Eaux, Baby!

Re: Am I crazy for seeing a 16-0 season ahead ?
 

IMO, the Saints blew their best, and probably only chance at a perfect season when in 2009 when they believed Ware wasn't going to play. If the Saints had won that game, their last 2 games were home against the Bucs & at the Panthers.

I am happy with the way the Saints ended that season, but finishing 18-0 would have been sweeter!

Re: Am I crazy for seeing a 16-0 season ahead ?
 

14-2

Re: Am I crazy for seeing a 16-0 season ahead ?
 

The Packers still OWN us, have for a while. I believe we will beat them handily, but then again I always think that... and we don't.

Cowboys a toss-up, as will be the Niners. Always is.

Bears play us hard regardless.

Thank GOD we don't play the Rams!

Then there are the usual Division suspects...

Re: Am I crazy for seeing a 16-0 season ahead ?
 

The Packers were lucky to beat us last time out. It came down to having a poor kicker.

If we cannot beat the Cowboys with the holes they have on defense we have a problem.

Re: Am I crazy for seeing a 16-0 season ahead ?
 

We will win 10-12 games. Remember the Rams. Bucs beat us last year if they don't self destruct, and they will be MUCH improved this year.

Re: Am I crazy for seeing a 16-0 season ahead ?
 

And we beat the Pats if the refs gets the call right.

A 10 win season would be a disappointment with the schedule and talent in this team

Re: Am I crazy for seeing a 16-0 season ahead ?
 

You cant say "If they don't self destruct" lol... Well you can, but that is what the Bucs do.. Its why they were 0-8 going into week 9. They weren't a winning team that choked, they were a ****ty team that lost.

Re: Am I crazy for seeing a 16-0 season ahead ?
 

We're 2-1 against the Packers under Payton, thats not owning us.

Re: Am I crazy for seeing a 16-0 season ahead ?
 

I'll settle for 3-0 (in the postseason)

Re: Am I crazy for seeing a 16-0 season ahead ?
 

That may actually be 2-2?
New Orleans Saints vs. Green Bay Packers Results - The Football Database

Still not owning.

Re: Am I crazy for seeing a 16-0 season ahead ?
 

Payton's wasn't there in 2012! 2-1 it is!

Re: Am I crazy for seeing a 16-0 season ahead ?
 

I would be happy with 13-3 a Division Crown n home field .... but 13-3 n the NFC probly wont be getting home field....

Re: Am I crazy for seeing a 16-0 season ahead ?
 

Haven't they beaten us the last two times we've played them? If not, I concede. (Packers)

Re: Am I crazy for seeing a 16-0 season ahead ?
 

One in 2011, but the loss in 2012 was when Payton was suspended.

Re: Am I crazy for seeing a 16-0 season ahead ?
 

We will beat the cows like a Remo snare drum and I think we go toe to toe with the Niners.
