The secret to making the playoffs

Judging by how hard of a schedule we seem to be facing, I'd agree...

We pretty much have to get out to a 2-0 start to have any chance of having a winning season and making the playoffs...

And both the opponents will be good tests, tells...

Minnesota has had an excellent defense and will be in as hostile an environment the Saints have faced in years...

Then you come back home and the Superbowl Champions and Bill Belichick are waiting for us...

I would rather have the game against the Patriots later in the year and give the defense time to work together and know each other's strengths and weaknesses.

Yeah, but you're not Roger Godhell who just loves to screw us over. The Patriots on a short week.......damn. This schedule is pathetic. Three games in under two weeks with road trips galore. I'm surprised we don't host a home game in London.
