Re: 3-5 THE FIRST 8 GAMES
 

I think this team will finish 6-10 if not worse than that if Brees misses any significant time. Without Brees, I do not see us winning next week in Carolina or the next week vs Dallas. That would have us 0-4 and with as bad as the defense is, the team would be demoralized. The run is over. The only question is how quickly the front office realizes it and prepares to rebound.

Well I got the 4-4 correct - although I had us beating Tampa and losing to Indy.

Now hopefully I get the 7-1 part right too!!! :)

So 11-5 it is then?

Re: 3-5 THE FIRST 8 GAMES
 

It's interesting how times have changed. There was a coach in the 70's and 80's, Don Coryell who had the St. Louis Cardinals and San Diego Chargers offense doing what SP and Drew Brees are doing. He was labeled a "Genius." His teams also had "the last team with the ball will win" defenses. Why isn't Sean Payton being mentioned in the same breath as Don "Air" Coryell?

Oh he will be before his career is over. Or maybe actually after his career is over.
