Game-by-game predictions: New Orleans Saints
Barring injury to Brees, I don't see the Saints with a 3 game losing streak early in the season.
The New Orleans Saints are a bigger question mark than usual after a 7-9 meltdown and offseason makeover. They still might have the most talent in the NFC South, starting with quarterback Drew Brees. But they have to regain the home dominance that disappeared last season. (They have the NFL’s second-easiest home schedule, based on 2014 winning percentage.)

I might wait at least until the draft is over.

Re: Game-by-game predictions: New Orleans Saints
Last year I got hoodwinked. Not happening again. If I see the same effort in pre-season from the defense it will be another painful one. It's not the players; it's the attitude. We won a SB with attitude on that side. It was mostly just heart. The blitzes never really did anything, it just looked liked crazy people.

But I don't think effort was the problem in 2014, at least for the 1st 3/4 of the season. We did look whooped at the end of the season but for most of the season the effort was there. There were just way too many mistakes made in crucial moments. We played dumb football. I'd be shocked if we played that dumb again. |

First 4 games Matt Stafford (rookie) Kevin Kolb (rookie) Trent Edwards (questionable) Mark sanchez (rookie) Later in the season we stopped - Eli Manning, Matt Ryan x2, Tom Brady, Kurt Warner, Brett Favre and Peyton Manning. Like you said, Dumb mistakes at crucial times killed us in 2014, leaving WR's wide open with seconds to go vs browns and 49ers, Brees forcing passes trying to bring us back. |
