Just need to wait for preseason to see how the injury report shakes out.

Browner being gone should count for at least 1 maybe 2 more wins alone

Plus there's a disgusting fat belly in Buffalo, that has to help

I think it's really pretty simple, can this group create turnovers or not. Historically, Sean Payton's defenses is usually some version of a bend but don't break trying to set up for the big turnover. If this group of guys can stop opposing offenses a few times per game, then we may be looking at 9 to 10 wins and a possible playoff spot. If this group of guys can create turnovers then we are looking at completing for a division title and maybe a first round bye.
