Re: Saints picked to finish second in division by NFL network
That segment was pretty much a fact free zone. hmmm.
"The Saints have all the talent, great offense, great defense, great coaching, and the best QB in the division, if not the NFC..." "BUT!!! worst to first happens in this division all the time. So it has to happen again this season..." National media people value consistency (and large markets of course). Teams that win their division every year and go to the championship and SB all the time (Patriots) are unquestioned. Even though the Saints have been to the playoffs 4 of the last 5 years, and have had 4 10+ win seasons in the same span, that because they do not win the division each and every year, and do not show up in the championship game each and every year, their ability to dominate their division is questioned by the media each and every year. To me the math is pretty simple. The Saints had a top 5 offense and defense last year. They have the same coaching staff. They improved their roster on both sides of the ball. None of the other three teams in the division pulled off all three since the end of last season. It's a no brainer... SFIAH |

Only Atlanta choked in an unchokable situation... Life is definitely good. |

I think our only challenge will be the Bucs. I think we will blow them away but they could be a possible playoff team. NO 13-3 TB 10-6, 9-7 CAR 6-10 ATL 6-10 |

Re: Saints picked to finish second in division by NFL network
you can't say that they couldn't compete last year when they won the division, which that post was referring too...

Rams @Steelers Saints(one of them at least) @Redskins @Lions It comes down to if they beat Atlanta week 3 and sweep them. Then they win 11 games. If they lose to Atlanta they go 10-6 I think. This scares me though we host packers week 8 and they host vikings. Notice something there? One of us is going to lose. Falcons I have surely losing to us, GB, Min or Chi, Bal or Cin, @TB, and @NY. It comes down to if they beat us once or bucs once. These games scare me @Atl Min(because of starting out 2 games on the road) @Dal(I think we can win but tread careful) TB(even at home this could be a challenge) GB SF/Cin/Bal(home stretch against three good teams) @Pit @Chi @TB We have a test ahead, there are good defenses going up against our offense as well as good offenses going up against our defense and the vikings is a big time sleeper team. |

"It's just the facts."
Did he just say that with a straight face? His whole speech was facts that point to the Saints winning, and his reason for picking the Bucs was "sometimes teams go worst to first". NFL.com tries harder and harder every year to just...plain...suck. |
