Re: Whose our biggest threat in the division?
It's not going to be Atlanta. It is going to be TB.
Note that we have a back to back home game against them after playing Chicago. If we, as expected, beat up on Chicago, then we face the possibility of getting caught off guard by them. When we play Carolina, Carolina is on a back to back home game against us after playing Buffalo and then has a back to back on the road against us after playing the jets. Atlanta will be facing TB and Minnesota before us on short rest. If we can win that game, we could sweep actually, as Atlanta has to go to TB on MNF the week before going to our place. They will have five days rest therefore and we will be at home back to back after the jets, which with two b2b opportunities and both ends featuring division rivals we cannot squander both situations and Atlanta's five days rest helps. |

All predictions are paper tigers at this point. I'd be wary of making a prediction about the 1st preseason game against the Browns much less what will happen in December. Now I do have a hope. My hope is that the Saints can get to Monday night in Minnesota with no significant injuries and with the scheduled return of Unger going without a hitch. BTW I agree that the Saints 2017 season will likely turn on the final 8 or 9 games. While the start of the season schedule is brutal, at least on paper the Saints should have opportunities in November and December. And with 4 of the final 5 games being division games, it's likely at the start of December, the team will still be in the division mix. But as for predictions? I just keep remiding myself that playoff team turnover in the NFL is nearly 40% and that at least one team swaps from the bottom of a division one year to the top the next. So the likelihood that any long term prediction is going to be on the mark is virtually zero. SFIAH |

Only Atlanta choked in an unchokable situation... Life is definitely good. |
