I don't think they have any pressure on them from the fanbase. It's going to take much worse than a string of 7-9 records while sporting the best offense in the league to keep the Dome from selling out every week. Besides, things are definitely looking up. The defense looked better and should continue to improve. The cap is looking good. The draft results each of the past two years has been much better.

I agree. The only thing that throws me off is those reports that just a few weeks ago a trade from Payton fell through with the Colts. I know it might not be true but if it is it makes me nervous about the confidence in their plans. I want him to stay and I want Brees to be here another four years I just don't know if he will resign if we let Payton go. Even with another 7-9 season.
