Couldn't care less what they say...or what any analyst says at this point about who's the best/worst. I like what I am hearing and seeing from the training field and am excited about the upcoming season but let analysts say what they want and come come game-time, let the teams decide.

kinda like going to the track. mmmmm not sure witch way to go? then go with win place or show.

the bucs do scare me i have to admit. ton of talent and lovie smith will not let them beat themselves at the end games. I wish we were on the road Oct 5 to play Tampa instead of at the dome.

NFC South always plays each other close.

First win the division. the rest will take care of itself

who knows the last game of the year might be huge on the road in Tampa

Remember when warren sapp tried to throw jeremy shockey under the bus saying he told goodell about the bounty stuff, then Sapp got fired and re-hired about 2 months later.....

yeah, they're the kind of people who NFL Network has working for them

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...

Super Bowl Championships: New Orleans Saints:1, Carolina:0, Atlanta Chokers: STILL ZERO

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

In other words TB finishes 3rd or 1st

"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.
