I haven't given any other teams the eye test though and this is going to be a tough division. I can tell you with almost certainty we aren't looking at the same old Saints. I see a competitive NFL team.

Wait and see approach but we have never looked this good in preseason. The Defense always seems to be in better position than in the past. Never can tell by preseason, really, but at the same time there is reason to like what we see. If we looked bad I'd be talking about that too. There is hope, really good reasons to believe we are better than we have been the last 3 seasons.

I keep forgetting about the run game as well, if the D holds up in the 2 minute periods AND we can run out the clock, I don't think any road game scares me

Okay to hope? Hell yeah! If you have no hope then you're most likely a Failcons fan!

In two weeks or so, I won't be a bit surprised if Bradford aka Captain Check down is sacked at least 3 times by the Saints D. "Pressure" might do him in. Vikes defense is top notch but I'm sure our offense will be up for the task.

27-17 Saints .

After seeing their "dress rehearsal" the other night...Bradford may be reduced to potted meat behind that o-line. I'm going to say 5 sacks on opening day

I see mis matches on that Vikes O line. Bradford could be in trouble if Kikaha, Okafor and Cam get into rhythm.

If we dominate them up front I'll stay out of the political forum for a whole week!
