i don't see the Cardinals doing much either. They have some interesting pieces, they really do, but they're far from a complete team. Aside from their defensive line (which is stellar) there's nothing about their team that I am truly impressed with.

I don't see Carolina doing much either, they were smoke and mirrors last year. Good front 7, but their secondary is god-awful horrendous, on paper maybe the worst secondary in the league. We know their receivers are junk, their RB's are old, broken down and so overpaid that it's killing their salary cap. Their OL just lost 3 longtime starters, and oh yeah one of their best players is spending the rest of his summer in prison and is probably going to be suspended half the season.

On paper, sure the Saints look like they could be a world beater. Baring any major injuries or setbacks, I truly believe that this is the season we make a DEEP playoff run for the Lombardi trophy. It all starts with training camp.

Trust and believe.

Sherman is a little too enthralled with his own "press" clippings, on the field and in the papers. If the Saints get home field, it's Lombardi Gras all over.

Seattle is kinda like the Bears were for us the first couple years SP was here. Seattle's claim to fame is defense. I know what it's like to finally win a championship and all, but I think the Seahawks and a lot of fans went overboard with all the trash talking but hey, enjoy it while you can. In the playoff game against Seattle, if you take away all the pass interference, we walk away with the game even with the Ingram fumble but it happened so it is what it is but that game should have shown you that we were right there and fully capable of beating you even with an injured Jimmy Graham. Nobody took Graham out of a game before he was injured and you will see that this year. We'll be coming for ya, of that you can be sure.

As for SF. We lost that playoff game because of Roman Harper plain and simple and he's not here anymore, and that's all I have to say about that.

wow, someone else with a pair of eyes
we were getting mobbed in that Seattle game

As for SF, we were on our way to winning it all

I blame Greg Williams - his let's blitz and shock and awe, when a strong prevent would have shut down that last SF drive is what killed it. Roman was just the guy under the cross hairs who got burned

now with our ability to rush only 4 and get killer pressure and such a great secondary - look out

One of SF/Seattle will not be back. Three teams usually do not return to the playoffs from the previous year. If we're there again, and we know Green Bay will because their rivals are scared of them, then one of them along with Philadelphia and Carolina will be out. I think Arizona wins the west and Seattle gets in as a wild card.

I feel during the season we will have competition. Can we expect our defense to limit the yards and points we did last year considering the offenses we are facing. Our offense next year imo is what will need to return to center stage and not just at the dome, and Atlanta is going to be our reg season competition again. I hope we win week 1 but just its not gonna be that easy. TB will be a factor but they need to beat Atlanta week 3 to win the division. If they don't sweep Atlanta they would have to win in the superdome and idk if that will happen.
