Somehow Payton always manages to Cajun-Rig together an offensive line, and if he can do it this year again, we have the pieces to blow up the world on Offense.

As crazy as I think Guido is here... (In real life, he's probably normal, just like Foreverfan, who is not a rabid, psycho in a basement, with a fridge full of severed heads, wearing a batman suit, as his online persona suggests, but a completely normal guy like you would know from school, like an insurance selling kind of guy, who drives a normal car, with a smoking hot wife.) Anyway, as crazy as Guido comes off here, he mades some hellacious points about the improvement on Defense, on all three levels, and especially the secondary. Hes not the only source I've heard say the leadership, the assistants on staff, are greatly improved, and have potential to create magic.

We're one or two crazy guys away from great special teams... pending Forbath's consistency, and the best punter since Ray Guy, Thomas Morestead.

We are the greatest fans in Sports, and have the power to bring it any week, and New Orleans, the city after my heart, deserves another Champion.

Kool Aid? Maybe. I thought Richard Todd would take us all the way in 1984. But win or lose, I will be raising 12 kinds of hell in the Terrace this year. I just cant wait.

Mikey you meant Lutz not Forbath right?

I actually think that kid is gonna be good. After the new ST coach was hired, I don't think the kid missed.

Yes. He got that elevation up. Lutz was line driving everything early. That led to blocked kicks that cost us games. We could have so easily been 10-6 and in the playoffs last season.

Re: Playoffs or bust?

If we can get lucky with a limited amount of injuries this season, I think this team is very capable of winning the NFC South.

Re: Playoffs or bust?

Can we field a team? Can we stay healthy?

The problem isn't three7-9 seasons......it's more like four out of the last five. And nothing really substantial for us to get excited about.

I love Payton and the coaching change along with the new personnel in the FO, but we need to start strong or finish strong to keep the fans happy.

And with us missing two of our offensive linemen I'm not excited bout our young defense having to win games because offense is losing in the trenches.

Don't forget the theme to last off-season was how horrible the offensive line was going to be and yet it managed to be rated as one of the best in the league. I am not concerned at all with the offensive line. Unger should be back and Armstead was playing injured through most of last season. We could legitimately see a better all round line this coming season even taking the injuries into consideration.

No doubt. I think Larry Holder said some similar ideas. We really need to start the season with a win. Last 3 seasons have been 0-2,0-3,0-3. We need to build some momentum.
