This projection is feckless...

As long as the O-line is good enough for Brees step up to throw and stout enough to get Ingram and hightower good holes I can see 6-7 games there. We'll only go now as far as this D will carry us. Brees won that many with terrible, terrible D's. Come on good ole' boys. I'm waiting.

it would be a great bet that they do better than 5-11, give me vegas please.
we have drew brees and he just has to score 1 point more than the defense gives up, i'm in.

As far as predictions go, 5-11 looks to be about right. But with that being said, in the NFL predictions rarely ever pan out. There is always an unexpected team make it to the playoffs just about every year. I would say do not go to sleep on the Saints because they have the greatest potential to be that sleeper team that no body expects this year.

look at most of the mock drafts were they predict the seasons and the saints and the bucs are battling for the cellar.

Playing 15-1 Carolina twice skews our strength of schedule greatly. Without their 30-2 contribution our schedule is pretty middle of the pack.

I could see a two game drop by us if we'd lost some significant players, but we didn't.

It all seems predicated on Drew declining. The problem with that is that he's shown no signs whatsoever of declining skills.

When we won the SB, our D finished the season ranked #20. That's all I want this year... a top 20 D and we're back in serious contention.

Not that it really matters but it's more fun to have low expectations and surprise people than high expectations and disappoint.

What is Pro Football Focus again? Oh, I remember it's a POS!

You can flip that to 11-5
