Yup. But we are definitely back on the right track. I think the next several years will be looking very rosy.

Since Ryan Pace went to Chicago (and made them a laughing stock) I am happy with draft results, the players are actually adding value now. Pace played a large role in ruining this team for years. I'm amazed he got a GM job... must give great blow jobs.

If we had half a defense we would be in the thick of things late into the playoffs.

Clown show to say the least!!!

I haven't like the way they sign players but last off season and this one I see things have changed they way they draft. I like unloading Cooks... the value was up there and we need talent on other areas that you can keep the team younger and get those draft picks.

So I am excited about the team again but I learned not to drink the cool aide. I wait until they actually start playing football.

I wish we were another year into this already though. I think that is when the real improvement will show.

I agree that we should be better in 2018, but I believe we have enough to make a big splash this year. I have no doubt in the offense and with even a fairly more efficient defense we should be able to make the playoffs. After that ... who knows?

Unless Brees is sick and tired of 7-9 seasons? Without him or the right qb. in Paytons system we might get a lucky 7-9 season. I'm not drinking the kool-aid yet either until I see solid D. The 6th game of the season will be tell, tell on the D weather their playing good or bad, from game 6 to 16 is time for all the things to come together as one.

Of course Brees is sick and tired of 7-9 seasons. Have you read his book?

If not, you do not know why your questioning him is foolish. Check it out.

Why would anyone care what they think?

Id say he is right on the defense front. Yeah we have signed some good looking parts but until they get on the field and prove it they are nothing more than new faces on a poor defense.

I'm not looking forward to us facing Cooks in week 2, the Patriots will force feed the ball to him just to make a point.

I hope they do. We'll easily beat them if hey become that one dimensional.
