So what I am hearing is that we need to win the big one in 2017, and after we do that then Sean and Mickey have a fire sale and breakup the team, saying "our road games are too tough in 2018". Got it.

I cannot see the saints winning in Baltimore and Cincinatti in 2018. They have to go to Dallas, who is almost sure to have a regression this year and come back likely the next year. We already know what NYG was like. Those are four road games against four possible playoff teams. I know the ravens are that team Brees needs to beat to beat every team but asking for Brees to win in that place is asking for too much. I can't pick it because Brees has struggled against that team.

And the division trends in SBs. I didn't want to do it because people think it's rediculous but each division has taken turns representing the sb in the NFC. And TB does not have the experience to get to the SB even if they got HFA. If it's not us or Atlanta again(please no), it's Green Bay. Rotating goes all the way back to the 70s.

It's not about what the saints want, it's about luck and the fact other teams are just as deserving as the saints, especially Green Bay and Seattle. If you make the playoffs and have experience you're good enough to get to the sb barring cross-country road trips. There is no "we'll be even better next year" in this league when you make the playoffs.
