Are we still on our way to a 7-9 season?
 

So we're 2-2 after four games... which is an accomplishment in itself with the brutality of our first four games scheduled by RG. If we go 3-1 in the next four, that puts us at 5-3. Are we threatening to break loose from those 7-9 doldrums we've been in?

Re: Are still on our way to a 7-9 season?
 

After the bye the Saints have 3 straight games against the rest of the NFC North: home against the Lions, @ Packers, home games against Da Bears and Yucs; we should be able to win at least half of those games.

One word answer ...




Duh?!

Re: Are still on our way to a 7-9 season?
 

4-0 Baby!

:bng:

Re: Are still on our way to a 7-9 season?
 

I'm predicting 10-6 right now. I really like how we look. I think we have some coverage screwups early in the season, but we've corrected them. By seasons end this could be a team to be reckoned with.

Re: Are still on our way to a 7-9 season?
 

No.

This young secondary is gaining confidence every week.

Re: Are still on our way to a 7-9 season?
 

I think we're also going to get a lot better when our o-line gets healthy.

Re: Are still on our way to a 7-9 season?
 

I think 10-6...

Re: Are still on our way to a 7-9 season?
 

I think how the defense plays against Detroit and GB will be paramount. The offense should be good and Brees is playing smart with the ball. 4 games with no turnovers is a big deal.

Crawley got the start over Williams today and he looks good. No one is taking Latt's spot. With PJ, Crawley and Breaux coming back after the bye, our secondary looks good. I like what I see from the defensive line and LBs.

I hope we can bring a win to NOLA after the bye.

Re: Are still on our way to a 7-9 season?
 

At no time have we been above .500, a win in the next game will break 3 years of 7-9 mediocrity. Let's go!

Re: Are still on our way to a 7-9 season?
 

You can all thank me now for taking Matt Ryan on a Fanduel challenge - he's stinking the joint up...

We might accidentally find ourselves in 2nd place and 1 game out of 1st if all goes right today...

Re: Are still on our way to a 7-9 season?
 

Most went right. That's where we are.

Re: Are still on our way to a 7-9 season?
 

With Kamara, Lattimore, Thomas we have the talent to achieve a winning record and perhaps a playoff berth. The weak link on defense is addressed now with Crawley at CB2 where he should be. Coaching has been a lot better the last few weeks and I think we are doing a nice job of reinventing ourselves as a balanced ball-control offense and need to continue making strides in that area. We need to keep the focus we saw this week and hopefully we will pull out the close games which are going to come eventually.

Re: Are still on our way to a 7-9 season?
 

NO TURNOVERS (although Unger did his best to change that today!) in 4 games. We keep that up and I like our chances....

Re: Are still on our way to a 7-9 season?
 

3-1 over the next 4 (Det, @GB, Chi, TB)

3-1 (@Buf, Was, @LAR, Car)

3-1 (@ATL, NYJ, ATL, @TB)

11-5 suckers!!!!

Too early to say

Re: Are still on our way to a 7-9 season?
 

Did you happen to see who the others are?

Re: Are still on our way to a 7-9 season?
 

Nope. I heard that this morning.

Re: Are still on our way to a 7-9 season?
 

If I had to guess it would be old teams like the Starr/Lombardi Packers that ran the ball a lot and played it safe in the air.

Re: Are still on our way to a 7-9 season?
 

Fool's Gold

Re: Are still on our way to a 7-9 season?
 

What is Fool's Gold?

:confused:

Re: Are still on our way to a 7-9 season?
 

14-2 Baby!

:bng:

And no, I am not going to take your bait.

Re: Are still on our way to a 7-9 season?
 

Re: Are still on our way to a 7-9 season?
 

9-7 is a possibility. I don't see any higher. I can't be amazingly optimistic after 4 games.

Re: Are still on our way to a 7-9 season?
 

Still too early for predictions. Worried about the O-Line. Also, the D front 4 are not getting the consistent push and hurries I want to see.

But, historically, on the road, we have sucked. So, these back-to-back road games are encouraging.

Thomas is a beast. Looking forward to seeing Snead back. Hope Anzalone and Strief are OK.

Re: Are still on our way to a 7-9 season?
 

All I know is that over the last two weeks this defense has sacked the QB 6 times, two ROAD wins (1 against a divisional opponent) by more than 20 points. The dirty birds don't look like world beaters either.

We get Highland Park (Stafford) in our house on 10/15.

A shut out at this level against any NFL opponent is impressive.

Keep grinding.

Re: Are still on our way to a 7-9 season?
 

Pyrite? When did we sign him? Jeez it's hard to keep up with that front office!

Re: Are still on our way to a 7-9 season?
 

Well, based on the trend, they are on their way to 8-8 :p

But seriously, I don't know that one could tell either way. I'm usually a mid-season guy, not a 1/4 of the season guy, and look for games played against contenders.

There are some tough games ahead. The Lions can put up points. The Packers can put up points. The Bills are playing well on both sides of the ball. The Rams all of the sudden think the are the GSoT redux.

We'll see. For now, I am just going to enjoy the win, watch the highlights a couple times, and wait for 10/15.

Re: Are still on our way to a 7-9 season?
 

1995 Rams ended up going 7-9 and the 2013 Titans also went 7-9... ****!!!!.

Remember, historical statistics are pure bull****.

Re: Are still on our way to a 7-9 season?
 

We are a .500 team. Nothing more. We will know more around game 7.
We beat lions and I say we get 10 wins.

Re: Are still on our way to a 7-9 season?
 

Did you see all the problems with snaps we had today? Except for the interception, the first half was a comedy of errors.

Re: Are we still on our way to a 7-9 season?
 

I'll go as far to predict that the final record will be known after the last game of the season!! You can't coach that stuff!!! LOL

Re: Are still on our way to a 7-9 season?
 

1995 StL Rams and 2013 Tenn Titans, if I heard correctly.

Re: Are we still on our way to a 7-9 season?
 

I'm always full cup, I like 14-2, drink up we got 2 weeks to worry about the next game.

ps.... Aren't we glad fans don't control the organization, I am!!

Re: Are we still on our way to a 7-9 season?
 

I just tried to watch the Saints v Dolphins game today (Monday) on NFL gamepass and when you click on the panel and select the "broadcast" option is shows the Patriots v Panthers game????? :-(

Have any of you guys had the same problem??

Re: Are still on our way to a 7-9 season?
 

According to Wikipedia fools gold is the mineral pyrite, which is an iron sulfide, with the chemical formula FeS2.

We had fools gold in Texas on our cattle ranch. The first time I found some I ran home yelling we're rich.......my dad just laughed. He had done the same thing.

Re: Are still on our way to a 7-9 season?
 

No, I meant what was he referring to as Fool's Gold. I spent my first nine years in South Dakota where Pyrite is extremely common. I was asking what he saw as fake or not real.

Re: Are we still on our way to a 7-9 season?
 

I just checked and the Saints game loaded correctly on 'broadcast' and on 'condensed'.
