Saints picked to go 4-12

Makes sense. They don't know anyone on our team. We have a ton of young talent that no one knows about.

They probably still think we have the same players that finished with the worst defense in NFL history a couple of years ago. We didn't add any splash players in free agency and our #1 draft pick is out for the 1st 8 weeks.

It does kinda suprise me that they didn't really do their homework.
We're as good or better than everyone on our schedule except Zona, KC, Carolina (debatable), Seattle and Denver.

On paper I think we're at worst 8-8, at best 11-5.

What they aren't looking at...
Byrd looks healthy
Spiller looks healthy
Our D-line is much improved
Our pass rush is improved
Our LB's may be the most improved unit on the team
Our CB's, despite all the injuries look way better than last years group.
Our RB's look fantastic
Our WR's look great top to bottom
Our TE's are solid
Our O-line looks no worse than last year
Great punter.

A lot hinges on our oline. If Jahri can be decent and Peat too then we might be okay nd be in the mix for a playoff spot. If not we could be 5-11 to 7-9. Scary thing to me is Armistead is still not healthy.. that's a problem
