With Dallas's o line and a healthy defense Brees plays till he's 42 and wins another Suoerbowl.

We're a free agent right guard (Kevin Zeitler, CIN) away from having that line now...

Throw in two of our first four draft picks (being disciplined and staying in our draft slots), and getting a right tackle and a another guard/tackle and Voila'...

...Saints will No. 1 Offensive Line in the league and a defense waaaaay better than the Cowgirls have...

I liked our chances this year until we suffered a totally absurd amount of injuries.

Yeah I felt like the whole season got started off wrong with injuries. A lot of staters and impact players got hurt.

I really do feel like we're gpnna have a good team next year. This team with some new draft picks and such maybe a couple free agents. I really wanna take the south back.

I like the way the Defense improved under Dennis Allen. I also wonder if SP
has lost his fire as many others here have said. Sometimes I think he
figures Drew is going to carry the Offense and has become complacent.
Also noticed he is not very humble at his press conferences he likes to
attack any reporter that asks a negative question so that he can storm off the podium.

I still don't get all the Dennis Allen love. He was stacked with talent and failed.

I wouldn't really say DA failed, losing players like Kikaha, PJ Williams, Breaux, Ellerbe and Rankins would kill any defense.

However his 2nd half adjustments are incredibly good.

For the last 7 weeks now, how many teams scored TD's on us in the second half?

2....two teams out of seven - detroit and Denver.

After the RR era I think a lot of us had the bar set a little low for DA.
