Also have to factor in projected improved play from the Falcons and Buccaneers, the Panthers are also coming off a good year and should be tough even with their roster losses. Overall, I do like the Saints chances in 2014 and believe they are better than 9.5 wins.

No those losses will hurt. By now we should know this and Carolina not only has that and bigger offenses than last year on the schedule, teams have also studied up on them, and seen a year of film on them. I see Carolina starting out 0-4 or 1-3, the tricky game being the lions which can go either way. Then they play Chicago, Cincinatti, Green Bay, Seattle, us, Philadelphia, Atlanta before the bye week. That is just going to be too much for them.
