Re: 2017 Saints Schedule
 

Only if we field another M*A*S*H unit on defense!

Re: 2017 Saints Schedule
 

Hmmm I think I'll wait till August to make my predictions

Re: 2017 Saints Schedule
 

Me to. Got to see if any coaching changes are made plus draftees and FA.

Re: 2017 Saints Schedule
 

If this team losses 1st game again next season, Sean P. should be sent packing; Enough is enough!!

Re: 2017 Saints Schedule
 

I hope we play the Pack and the Bills early in the season.

Re: 2017 Saints Schedule
 

10 win minimum if we stay relatively healthy.

Re: 2017 Saints Schedule
 

Packers and Vikes will be difficult away games however I foresee a minimum of 9 wins ... possibly 10 in 2017.

Playoffs ... and "we're back!".

Re: 2017 Saints Schedule
 

I had to catch my breath when I saw the schedule. You know we'll play Atlanta first and start 0-1 if we don't have a very good off season. We don't currently have the fire power to man handle many of these teams. 7-9 is a possibility. But I'm predicting 13-3 baby!!! :p

Re: 2017 Saints Schedule
 

we were starting players on D who were either 8th on the depth chart in preseason or not even in camp. No way we go thru that again.

Not losing much 2017 NFL Free Agents Tracker | Spotrac) and we actually have money heading into the off-season, and the number 11 draft spot, and we play 6 games against teams in the bottom third.
Kind off hard to be negative already

Tits on a bull

Re: 2017 Saints Schedule
 

Not too many wins with this schedule.

Re: 2017 Saints Schedule
 

Re: 2017 Saints Schedule
 

Boy, wonder if the Vikes fans are still pissed off over the beating we gave 'em in the playoffs?

The only team missing from this schedule that I wish we had were the Cowboys and 49ers instead of the Lions or Rams...

That schedule would definitely be close to my All-hate schedule...

Re: 2017 Saints Schedule
 

I'm kind of glad we don't have the Cows in 2017. It pains me to say this but they are building a contender in Deathstar Nation for years to come.

I say 11-5

Re: 2017 Saints Schedule
 

We will probably play GB early in season as that's one of the more appealing games but because we're playing Miami in London week 4(a AFC East road game), we probably will not play Buffalo until the second half of the season. I think NE is probably going to be the big week 8 matchup late afternoon(because I stand by us not playing SNF) world series week. Not sure about jets. We should play Atlanta, TB, Carolina once early, with Miami, Green Bay, NE and Chicago(because we'll play Detroit late again we usually do). That's seven games in 9 weeks(with a bye thrown in week 5 unless we decline it). So that leaves one game left for the first half out of @Minnesota, NYJ, Washington, and @LA.

Btw will they decline a week 5 bye like the colts did last year?

Re: 2017 Saints Schedule
 

9 or 10 wins will not cut it. It's super bowl or bust.

Re: 2017 Saints Schedule
 

If they win the sb we will not play them week 1. Also, free agency has not even started yet.

Re: 2017 Saints Schedule
 

So I'm going to analyze this schedule

Starting with the NFC North( we have to be able to show we can win out of the division)
Last year we went 4-0 against NFC West. We have better record against NFC divisions than AFC recently. However, I don't see us winning in GB right now, but the weakness(and Brees' weakness which we just may have to accept) is Minnesota more than GB. But I do think we have at least one here against Chicago. We have to be able to play defense against Minnesota and hope it goes our way or get over the pathetic showings against Detroit. 2-2.

AFC East
Our biggest problem has been against the AFC. We have gone 2-2, 2-2, 1-3, 2-2, and 1-3 since 2011. We have won at least one road game last three seasons and I expect we will win in London against Miami. But Buffalo is not in the same vein as KC, Houston, and Cleveland(did I just say that? That year was a mess). Buffalo has a at times good defense and that could be a issue but the offense relies on limited playmakers I feel a better defense could make this game what it was in 2009. It was a struggle until late. However, Buffalo has Watkins so there's the risk. I think the chances of winning this are better than the chances were of beating KC and Houston. We have had trouble at home. We should have beaten Tennessee in 2015 though. But NYJ, who is going into a odd number year with a fluctuating winning or .500/losing season streak since 2011, is closer to Jacksonville than Oakland or the AFC North teams we played. So I see 2-2 for sure. And NE is too big of a home game that if we lose that we know season we are in for. I'm going to go 3-1(numerically I think it will be 2-2 or 4-0).

So we have 5 wins between those two divisions, that equals up to the same thing as last year but 4 wins the two years before.

But this has been another big issue, our placement games.
We have lost to Detroit, Detroit, SF, and SF four of the last five years. The team we are hosting this year.......Washington. But if we're winning we can get another rare win against them. But Washington will be a challenge.
We have lost at NYG, Arizona, Dallas, and GB four of last five years. the funny thing is all but one of them were close(against 2014). This year, we go to the LA Rams. We struggled last two road games against them and Payton won't have that chip on his shoulder with Williams gone. This game again will come down to us showing up on defense because Brees is gonna struggle.

I don't like the third place schedule and really preferred the second place one with giants and cardinals, easier matchups for us. But we have to go 2-0(because it's that or 0-2) here. The wins here determine the advantage in the division. 2-0.

Now our division, we have gotten the luxury of sweeping one each season, getting swept by one, and splitting with another. Last year we swept no one. Next year, it's our turn again to sweep Atlanta. And we will probably split with TB. Carolina determines 4-2 or 5-1 because I don't see a sweep by anyone unless it's TB. By winning four games here, we go 11-5 with the possibility of 12-4.

If we beat the pats, we could very well sweep the AFC East. If we can beat Minnesota or Detroit, we could go 2-2. I just don't know if we beat both and go 3-1.

And it's paramount to win the placement games. This should be our first priority because it's not only placement games it's two teams we've had the worst luck against(yes we beat the rams last year but it was at home. Those games cannot be overlooked.

Wonder what all he posted on his other team's forums?

Re: 2017 Saints Schedule
 

Bought 4 tickets yesterday.

Re: 2017 Saints Schedule
 

Anything short of the playoffs and I can almost guarantee they will blow it up and go full rebuild.

Re: 2017 Saints Schedule
 

:lolup:

You cannot be serious. That is ludicrous. There is no way in hell that would happen.

Re: 2017 Saints Schedule
 

Well, if history stays at a constant, the teams we play this upcoming season will all be among playoff contenders next season...

You just assume control of your destiny beginning in Week 1, one game at a time...

Re: 2017 Saints Schedule
 

No tickets for me...

I guess I will have to look for them from second hand sources. :-(

Re: 2017 Saints Schedule
 

but i believe we clip the pats for once over there. we play them tough always its just the refs that don't help u over there.

Re: 2017 Saints Schedule
 

take back the pats away, were at home with them and i'm chalking up a win, and ifs its an early season game i'm going we go deep in play-offs,pats game would be the confidence builder and put us back in the mix.it wont be the sit brady asre whipping brees put on them years back but a game to remember of grand-pa QBs.

Re: 2017 Saints Schedule
 

paytons slow starting is no more secret, he has to change his philosophy about getting a team to point, if its back in jackson miss, hes got to go and get his cheerios there, dam the briar is not working.
