Championship!

Sure...and last season and the season before that too.

Got a lot of well ifs that may pay off

And that's why coaching in this instance is better than personnel. I'm betting on those "ifs" coming through.

You said the same the last 2 years. I mean that's not really analyzing something. If you keep saying the same thing of course at some point you will be right.

We are putting nice pieces in place or at least it seems. We have potential but I feel we are a year or two away

IF it wasn't for the rash of injuries last year the defense would have been much better. They still did end up with better stats than the previous two years. And I am liking this years potential MUCH more than anything recently. They may not reach their potential for a year or two, but they can still turn out to be pretty decent this season.

Oh God back to the excuse book. Pats won the SB and didn't have their starting QB the first 4 games. Then they lost their best Offensive weapon. Come on already

Also sent their best LB to Cleveland before week 6.

None of the ifs could come true until Vitt and McMahon we're sent packing. I remember Guido being right up there in the front row with me holding a torch and pitchfork. It's okay to be hopeful even with those huge obstacles on the coaching staff.

Didn't we win a superbowl with Vitt on the staff? I am not a fan of either coach, but seriously, come on. We had the 4rth ranked D in the league with those guys.

I like the look of the team right now, but we are still a few pieces away. Our oline is really coming together though. Lattimore has potential to be a stud. I have never seen closing speed like that. We are getting there.

But remember Fujita, Shanle, Lofton and the great Jonathan Vilma were all veterans with 3+ years of NFL experience prior to NO. We have a new teacher in Nolan. Maybe Stephone will see and interpret things a little better in 2017. I'm sure Vitt is an awesome guy but he is no Nolan in terms of X's and O's at LB position. After the dust settles, lets see how this goes in 2017.

Change is good.

I am not a fan of either coach, but this is a load of bull**** that our 7-9 seasons (notice the plural there) have been due to those coaches. Bull****. It was because we had a lack of talent due to absolutely horrid drafting, terrible free agent acquisitions, and terrible cap management.

I think we will be better on defense this year, I mean christ it is hard not to be. That said, we have acquired more talent. To pretend that if we have an uptick in defense this year, say to 20th, is solely because of the new coaches is ludicrous. It isn't to say that won't have an impact, and you're right change is good, because it puts fire under people's asses sometimes.

We won a super bowl with those same coaches and there was a point in that season where both our starting CB's and one of our starting safeties were injured. 3/4 of our back end were out, we still won games. So give me a break.
